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).
“While I was waiting for my interview in a reception area, a pizza delivery man, a young guy dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, carried in a heavy pack of pizza boxes and water bottles. He struggled with the door. I jumped up, but before I could help him, a receptionist let him through.
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.

“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.

As advances in artificial intelligence, software robotics, machine learning, and innovative technology platforms enable businesses to redefine processes, organizations have significant opportunity for performance and efficiency improvements. Yet only a slight majority of companies have succeeded in meeting workplace automation goals, according to a new McKinsey Global Survey.
We’ve discussed several aspects of technology in this HR technology series. Today I wanted to share a concept that we should be a bit more focused on: prescriptive analytics. Technology now allows us to do more than just process information, it helps us make decisions. A few weeks ago, I spent a couple of days with the folks from O.C. Tanner at their Influence Greatness conference.
“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.

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.
Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.
Offering top-notch benefits may attract competitive talent, but how much do your employees actually know about those benefits? Competitive Total Rewards Programs come with a lofty price tag that directly impacts every organization’s bottom line. With most organizations spending 30 percent of their budget on employee benefits, benefit ROI remains top of mind for most HR departments.
When your company is undergoing change, you already face plenty of challenges. One issue that might not make it to your short list of priorities is actually crucial: the need to maintain employee engagement. Organizational change efforts have a startling failure rate of 70 percent , and one major reason for this failure is that executives don’t do what it takes to get buy-in from their employees.

One of the most important things companies do is hire people, and it’s still a bit of a black art. Most companies look at candidates job history, they call references, they give them tests, and they bring them in for interviews. And despite all this effort, HR leaders tell me they still make mistakes as. Read more» The post AI Comes To Recruiting: Will Interviews Go The Way Of The Dinosaur?
Have you ever set up an interview with a promising candidate who never showed up? Has a potential new hire quit responding to your emails and phone calls? This behavior is known as ghosting and it’s happening more frequently as the job market strengthens. In August, 3.6 million people voluntarily quit their jobs in search of better pay, better hours or a better cultural fit.
Despite advancements in other areas of education and a record number of women attending college, fewer and fewer women graduate with degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Of course, large employers and global RPOs have been wringing their hands about this issue, which has come more to the forefront as diversity’s obvious impact on the bottom line becomes clearer the more it’s studied.
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. But discovery-driven candidates have backgrounds that don't always fall in line with a typical linear career path.

We’ve heard it said that the performance appraisal is a common enemy. Employees, managers, and HR leaders alike wish it dead and gone. The origin of the annual review goes back more than 100 years, with the concept being popularized in the 1950s. Think of how much the world has changed. Facebook first launched 14 years ago, followed by Twitter two years later and Instagram in 2010.
In many states, it’s still legal to ask about candidate pay history. While some states have outlawed this practice, I still get questions like the one below fairly regularly: I have a question for you that I thought you would be uniquely able to provide advice for. I am currently seeking new employment. When submit an application, the prospective employer asks for me to input a salary into the online application.
“The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but new eyes.” – Marcel Proust. They call it the Silicon Valley of the North. And with good reason. Understanding that Toronto has been driving innovation and charting the future of tech, Achievers chose to host its ACE 2018 conference in the city it calls home. The Six, as it is affectionately called by residents, quietly emerged as the fastest-growing tech-jobs market in 2017.
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.
