In any company, managers will owe their employees three things: The tools they need to succeed, an environment that bolsters and reinforces their confidence, and trust that they’ll do good work on time. Oh, but that last item is a sticking point for so many managers. This is self-defeating for two reasons. That’s a quick recipe for burnout as well as under-performance, ironically enough.

There is no way to put this delicately: HR has an image problem. More than 10 years ago, Fast Company published the article, Why We Hate HR , setting off a firestorm of discussion and debate. The bottom line was this: HR’s inability to align talent strategy with business strategy called its value into question. Unfortunately, many HR departments today are still stuck in “neutral” (so to speak).

Everyone talks about the candidate experience and how we should improve it, but actually taking the time to analyze, review and improve takes more than just writing a blog post about it. Nearly 60% of candidates have had a poor candidate experience when applying for jobs.

“Workplace diversity” once meant representation by two genders and a small range of skin tones. Today, diversity means more: Different generations (Boomers, Millennials and Gens X, Y, and Z), the whole spectrum of LGBTQ, and vastly different cultures of origin. It also covers introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts; visual learners and verbal learners; geeks, hipsters, and moms. The organizational challenge now is bigger than just bringing all this diversity together, keeping the peace, and getting the job done. Put simply, employees aren’t simply a conglomerate of groups with labels. Absolutely.
