Every once in a while, I run across an article that talks about why organizations shouldn’t calculate cost per hire. Personally, I’m a big fan of the cost per hire metric. I think it provides valuable information. Back in 2012, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) worked with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to create a uniform standard calculation for cost per hire (CPH).

Leadership is important, but there is also a case to be made for teaching in the workplace—and I'm not talking about training.

But it’s also important to understanding that engagement isn’t necessarily the goal. What I mean by that is the goal should be what engagement creates. Research shows us that: Organizations with a high level of engagement report 22 percent higher productivity.
