Depending upon one’s company, the responsibility for lowering turnover/increasing employee retention may be a shared goal (as it should be) or may belong to a specific department: usually HR.

Why "Unlimited PTO" Is Stupid and Needs to be Replaced with Work/Life Integration.

The HR Capitalist

Remember when "Unlimited PTO" was a fresh thought and really made you think about the relationship employees had with the organizations they worked for? Yeah, me neither. I just did a google search titled, " The Long Con of Unlimited PTO ". It didn't give me what I wanted, which was a simple take on a once hot idea. I'm probably going to write that post in the future, just for the SEO benefit.

Babette Ten Haken - Human Capital & Industrial IoT

I resent my coworker’s sick days, getting out of a carpool, and more

Ask a Manager

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. I resent how often my coworker is out sick. I am having trouble rallying appropriate sympathy for a coworker with depression and I’m hoping you can help me with this.

When Should a ‘Temp’ Become a Regular Employee?

HRWatchdog

Employers can face liability for keeping temporary workers for an extended period. I hired a number of employees to work on a short-term project for me.

LinkedIn Reactions Expand Professional Communication

HR Bartender

As a human resources professional, one of the things I’m constantly reminding managers about is the need to personalize communication. Especially when it comes to recognition or acknowledgements.
