Making drastic changes to talent programs without thinking through the outcomes is like introducing rabbits to the Australian ecosystem: both can bring a myriad of unintended consequences.

I’m not sure if the title of today’s post is a major surprise. We’ve been talking about employee engagement for quite some time. In fact, I’m concerned that the conversation has turned to noise. But regardless of what you call the term, engagement remains a key business issue. That’s only a one part of the 2015 Employee Engagement Trends Report compiled by Quantum Workplace.

No one ever wants to admit this but it can be really intimidating working with someone who is way smarter and more talented than you. This is the basis for the biggest lie HR tells candidates. You are overqualified! We’ve told this lie for decades. Truth be told, no one is ever “overqualified” for a position. You might have more qualifications than the organization needs for the position you are interviewing for, but that really isn’t the issue. The issue is the person doing the interviewing is scared that you are better than they are. Yeah, right!

There's nothing wrong with trying to spice up your hiring by testing out unconventional recruiting methods, but the wild and outlandish could be enough to go two ways: You could scare off great talent, or attract the masses of unwanted, unfit candidates. Are you using any of these techniques to find and engage people? You may have to reevaluate the team's approach. Will it be you?" Why the switch?”

As a company that provides human resource consulting to our clients, we see a wide range of mistakes made in the employment relationship. One of the most common issues we find (and one that can be quite costly) is misclassifying employees as exempt who should be non-exemp t. Sound familiar to you? Business Business owners get this one wrong fairly often. Sometimes, it’s an innocent mistake, but other times it’s a deliberate decision made to avoid the potential costs of non-exempt employees; namely overtime wages. Big penalties if you get it wrong.

Hiring for fit can be dangerous territory and may ultimately stifle innovation. When candidates and employers undergo the recruitment process, one word tossed around frequently is "fit." Many employers worry whether or not a given candidate will fit in with the culture in the office, with the personalities and habits of existing employees, and with the established corporate values.

A failed startup on your resume won’t stigmatize you. In Silicon Valley and other tech hubs, a notable failure is something of a badge of honor—it shows you transformed a concept into reality, and hopefully learned something along the way. That being said, you still need to work on spinning your startup’s failure as a positive. Here’s how. Learning Experience. Get Over It. Think Business Results.
