In today’s world, we laud innovation as essential for businesses seeking to remain competitive in the global marketplace. We know that innovation, and growth and progress, are critical for companies’ success, but what about the less attractive word underlying these processes–change? While innovation sounds exciting, it is no secret that change can be messy, and hard. Most of us thrive in our routine, and changes can interrupt flow and productivity in the short term. But change is clearly at the core of any initiatives related to innovation, growth, or progress.

So, to answer the question, “Should employee performance be judged on a Bell Curve?” the answer is no. Here’s why (with a couple of examples to drive our point home).

Passive recruiting is like the more mysterious sibling of active recruiting. Different from traditional recruiting, passive recruiting involves targeting people who don’t have a strong desire to be recruited. HR professionals and leaders are often unaware how it can be used to help them fill job positions. An effective method is using social media channels and forums to start conversations.

This may seem like an easy answer question, but the truth is a little more in depth than one sentence. When we look at potential candidates, we tend to hire those that have things in common with us.

Citing money can be the best excuse for leaving an employer, even if it is untrue. One survey blamed voluntary turnover on income.   But when an employment agency surveys financial types on why people leave their jobs , it should come as no surprise that they chose money as the principal motivation for quitting.  Of course!  These are groups who obsess about money. . Why take an unnecessary risk?
