Do You Know Why You Were Hired?

HR Bartender

It seems like such a simple question. Do you know why the organization hired you? One of my former bosses took me out to lunch one day to tell me why she hired me. She said, “Because you didn’t come from the industry.” She wanted an outsider who would ask questions and challenge the status quo. She felt that was what the company needed. If organizations want employees to be engaged and successful in their roles, they have to tell them why they were hired.

This is what could kill Slack’s growth

Pomello

When we were first pitching Pomello to investors, one of the most frequent criticisms we heard was that a great company culture is nice to have, not need to have. Here was the parting line they would leave us with as they told us they weren’t going to invest. “You guys are vitamins, not aspirin.” What kept us going after investors kept telling us no is that companies were telling us yes.

Visier

Since the mid-1990s, the phrase, “HR transformation,” has been a part of HR’s common vernacular.

Work Life Balance Starts With Leadership

HR Bartender

Work life balance is defined as a “concept including proper prioritization between career and lifestyle.” I realize some people will say work life balance is a myth. Some might say work life integration is a much better term. Regardless of what you call it, I’d like to think we can agree on this: we don’t work all the time. We want to know we can take time off.
