I am just back from another fantastic week at the HR Technology Conference in Chicago, which once again was a record-breaking gathering of HR leaders, technology executives, industry experts and thought leaders who convened in the Windy City to talk all things HR and workforce technology, and organizational success. As the Conference Program Chair, and the onsite host, I (sadly), don't get to actually see and enjoy as much of the Conference as I would like. So with that said, here are my Top Five Moments from this year's HR Tech Conference: 5. The first 'Women in HR Technology' Summit.

I recently got back from the HR Technology Conference in Chicago. It was a tremendous opportunity to see cutting edge trends, new technologies and the latest research. What truly struck me across many of the sessions and panels is that many of these ideas are not incremental improvements. The driving force for much of this change is the evolving nature of performance itself.

Because all industries have different needs and HR means different things to different companies, blanket philosophies and general HR “How To’s” miss so many of our colleagues where they are, leaving them to fend for themselves in their space.

I’d like to ask about some special scenarios when an employer asks for other names you’ve been known by, and whether or not the applicant needs to provide said name in such cases: 1. If you go by a pseudonym for a particular purpose (e.g. online blog, religious name) that wouldn’t appear on any documents relevant to a background check? 2. The birth name of someone whose name was changed as a child (e.g. adopted or their parents were indecisive about what to name them at birth)? 3.

Among the many aspects of their jobs that employees today value most, flexibility is certainly one of the biggest. More companies are beginning to offer their workers the option to work remotely, which is helping satisfy the increasing number of professionals demanding a healthier work-life balance. However, workplace flexibility isn’t just about convenience – it is also about productivity. Research recently conducted by FlexJobs found that a mere 7 percent of workers today think that working traditional hours in the office is the place where they are most productive.
