Creativity, courage, and an infallible spirit can make the difference between freedom and free fall. That being said, fostering these traits is far easier said than done. We need examples and inspiration so we can shape our own experience.

'The ineffectiveness of traditional performance reviews is yesterday's news. But as the season of giving approaches, smart HR pros realize the traditional end-of-year cash bonus — while of course accepted and much appreciated — also needs a reboot. Simply showing employees the money may not be the most effective motivational and engagement tool for today’s changing workforce.

'Bad bosses take the blame for a lot of what goes wrong in the workplace. Low engagement rates, high turnover, employee dissatisfaction and even poor employer branding will often get placed squarely on the shoulders of supervisors.

'There are many different types of turnover; some are welcome, and some aren’t. When a consistently poor performer with a bad attitude is replaced with an employee who excels, that’s the kind of turnover you want to see. However, that’s not always what happens. Very often, turnover can have some seriously negative effects on the organization. Financially: Every time a business replaces a salaried employee , it costs an average of 6-9 months’ salary.

The Golden Rule – “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” – is a good philosophical approach to life. But it doesn’t fully apply to employee recognition. Too often, when we think about appreciating and recognizing others for contributions, work well done, or results, we think about how we would want to be recognized.
