Employee Engagement is viral, and new research shows that the manager may be “ground zero.”. Managers are the sergeants of the organization. You, as a manager, have a powerful effect on how engaged your organization will ultimately be. You are on the front lines of a company’s culture. For most employees, you are the company (or at least represent the organization, as they see it).

When people think of voting, they often think of the presidential election. However, midterms and local elections happen more frequently, and these races are often just as important. In 2016, 61.4% of voting-age Americans reported voting — not much of a change from the 61.8% who reported voting in 2012, according to Census.gov. The numbers are even lower for midterms.

The 1-on-1 meeting, an often under appreciated, under-utilized performance management tool. While some managers consider it an unnecessary use of time or an informal performance review, the 1-on-1 is so much more. It’s a manager’s best opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of individuals and team dynamics, build relationships with their direct reports, and focus development and goal-setting efforts.

Technical degrees might open doors—but it’s the soft skills that keep them open.

“I have been working in this arena, either as an internal or external practitioner, for close to 15 years now and I have never seen or felt as much energy built up around this body of work as I do now.” – Joe Gerstandt. Organizational Diversity and Inclusion work is still a body of work very much in its infancy. It still suffers from a great deal of conceptual and linguistic underdevelopment, from a lack of consistency and coherence.

“Have you ever considered a career in hacking?”. This may be an unusual way to start a career coaching conversation in most workplaces, but it’s an important question to ask employees from non-technical fields–and women in particular. Increasingly, businesses of all types need more professionals–from ethical hackers to application security engineers–who can effectively ward off and respond to cyber attacks.

Dear ReWorker, Recently, my colleague and I carefully documented and reported acts of long-term bullying by two of our coworkers. Soon afterward, HR summoned the entire department for a mandatory meeting where our boss's manager and the top HR manager yelled and reprimanded us. We were told our complaints were petty and stupid, and that their time was wasted.

As the workforce ages, retirement is becoming a more complex and emotionally significant transition. For many employees, retiring marks not only a change in benefits and income but also a shift in identity, community, and purpose. This webinar explores how HR professionals can support aging and retiring employees through a trauma-informed lens—one that recognizes the emotional and psychological dimensions of leaving the workforce.

Regular readers of this blog know I’m a planner. I plan everything. I think I’d even plan spontaneity. That’s why I couldn’t help but laugh at this Time Well Spent from our friends at Kronos. It reminded me that, even though we can do a lot of things with planning, there are some things that just shouldn’t be planned. Nor should people be penalized for making last-minute changes to a plan.

When I think about women’s leadership, several big words come to mind–empowerment, leadership, parity–but I keep coming back to smaller words. In fact, it’s a string of two-letter words that, together, make a BIG impact: If it is to be, it is up to me. These words have propelled me forward at every stage in my career. My passion for advancing women in leadership was ignited by personal experiences within the financial services industry.

Challenges with employee engagement and employee turnover are familiar to most companies at different points in their growth. In 2016, Prometheus Real Estate Group found themselves in that very position. The real estate and property management company faced a skills gap, both externally and internally. Existing employees lacked the soft skills necessary to advance in the organization—and often left the company as a result—and qualified candidates were few and far between.

The discovery-driven approach to a career yields a resume that is unconventional and might be overlooked by HR personnel accustomed to looking for specific, albeit limited, markers of accomplishment and capacity, such as years of higher education or experience in consistent roles.

Managers spend an average of 15 hours of personal time outside the office preparing for annual reviews, according to a survey of 500 executives, conducted by Wakefield Research. When sufficient prep time can’t be found, many executives won’t hesitate to delay a review. This is unfair to employees, who deserve a timely opportunity to receive feedback, discuss goals, and establish a plan for career development.
