Don’t talk about someone’s differences, right? Not necessarily. There are healthy discussions to be had when the issue of diversity is addressed with sensitivity. You can use respectful conversations to better understand your employees and to acknowledge their values. Here are some success stories about diversity in the workplace — with one not-so-successful tale.

'I’m just back from an HR measurement workshop in Barcelona. In this session, I explained to participants how to measure their HR and management strategies through an HR scorecard. I also warned them that my version of the scorecard is substantially different, and a lot more useful, than some of the other formats they may encounter. However, in these workshops, I always find that I run out of time to explain why I don’t like these other formats, and why participants should avoid using these in t

What I do first thing in the morning tends to set the tone for the rest of my day. Starting with my email inbox inevitably sets me up for a day of reacting to other people's agendas and unproductive "multi-tasking." When I begin my day with an hour spent on a high-impact project, though, things tend to flow more smoothly. I accomplish more and feel that sense of "flow" more frequently.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I don’t think I’ve seen this topic covered since I started subscribing to you.

Luckily, I’ve done my job well, and have earned awards for my office.

Here's your question for the day. Do you see your ongoing professional development as a "cost of doing business" or as an "investment in your future"? If it's a cost, then it can be cut when times get lean. Other activities will take precedence because on some level you've decided they add greater value to your life and to your growth. . If your professional development is an investment, though, you will continue to add to this "bank" on a regular basis.

Unlike performance-based termination, severely violating the rules can call for immediate dismissal. Before you fire an employee for a rules violation, make sure your expectations were obvious to all employees from the start.
