I’ll be talking about all of these in my next webinar, Think DiffeHRently: Opportunities for HR Innovation.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I recently fired an employee that was not showing up to work and when they did show up, they mostly avoided work. Now my decision is whether or not to fill the position. Our department is fairly small, 9 people with 5 assigned information technology service calls and projects. Of the four team members still here, all work well together and like to be challenged to do new things. When the other person was here, they helped a little bit but didn’t really make a difference in workload. Our workload is steady and mostly busy. Should I hire someone or not? Any suggestions?

When I was in grade school, every year I had to put up with someone I'll call "Mary" in my classes. never liked her, because her hair was longer than mine, she dressed better than I did and she was much prettier. Yet, every year -- from kindergarten until sixth grade -- I had her in every class. Some day the jealousy I felt when she showed up in a new hair bow with a pretty dress made me seethe.

There’s a great quote that says “ The person most interested in what you have to say is you.” I didn’t know where it came from so I looked it up and lo and behold guess whose picture was next to the phrase to serve as an illustration of what it means: Mine.

There's nothing wrong with being a great No. 2. No one talks much about how critical the person behind the throne can be -- the second in command who makes sure the superstar doesn't falter, who handles the critical details that keep the trains running and is ready to stand back and let the No. take the applause. By being such a great "straight man" Vance helped Ball get the laughs and accolades.

Here''s a familiar scenario: Manager: I''ve reviewed my expectations several times but I''m not getting the results I need. I don''t know what''s wrong, but the team is not following through. I go over the issues, but no one speaks up during staff meetings when I ask if anyone has any questions. These people just don''t understand. That was not fun. Maybe it''s time to reconsider your approach.

Okay, it''s definitely not a secret, but it can''t be stressed enough that feedback about employee performance is not a once a year event. Performance feedback needs to be well placed and timely particularly when there are performance issues. When an employee gets to his or her review there really shouldn''t be any surprises in terms of issues related to their performance.
