I’ve written before about working with people you don’t like. Here’s a similar situation. A co-worker that grates on your very last nerve. We have a person in our office who does her job well, but makes a lot of annoying noises. She clears her throat constantly, very loudly. She has very long fake nails and types using her nails which is very loud throughout the office. She talks to herself and makes loud sighs. She is nice, but so annoying that people tend to stay away from her.

A new hire’s first day on the job is rarely filled with work. Legal documents and company onboarding take precedence over regular day-to-day work. Quality onboarding is essential to the success of a new hire, so to undervalue this process is faulty on the part of the organization.

As a leader, where do you focus your attention? If you said something like, “I fix problems” or “I help people improve,” you’d be like countless other leaders across the globe, primed to “close the gap” or strive for “relentless improvement.” ” And, according to psychologist Dr. Kathryn Cramer, you’re focus is misplaced.

Multiple people can fill one role, and individuals can occupy many different roles, and every role is part of a larger group with a unique purpose within the organization.

Oh, the employee referral program – perhaps the strongest tool in any talent acquisitions specialist’s belt. A great referral program will help you identify top talent that might not have even been open to looking without a nudge from someone they trust. A well-designed employee referral program will also help ensure a solid cultural fit and at least a preliminary assessment of soft skills. Beyond that, the referrer is likely to do the selling for you.

I’m also a bit of a nutrition nut due to a high school stint in wrestling , several years of running marathon distances and longer, and generally being a nerd. One thing that I have learned over time, and studies have backed up this observation, is that all of us consistently overestimate the calories we burn and underestimate our intake.

After introducing an icebreaker activity to a group, you might be met with rolled eyes and “not again” utterances. This reaction is only because everyone seems to recycle the same icebreakers over and over again. However, that certainly doesn’t mean you should give up on icebreaker activities! They are a great way for a group to warm up and feel comfortable contributing ideas in a meeting, workshop, or any collaborative event.

You’ve probably heard that organizations with a focus on diversity have stronger organizational cultures – they have happier and more productive employees, and are more socially ethical than other organizations. You might have also heard that organizations with a focus on diversity perform better financially than organizations that do not invest energy in diversity programs, or in fostering a diverse workplace. Why, exactly, is this the case though?
