Visier

According to Aon’s 2017 U.S. salary increase survey , more than two-thirds of employers were taking some kind of action to increase merit pay differentiation, with 40% reducing or eliminating increases for lesser performers. This suggests that spreading pay raises across the board, like peanut butter on toast, has become an outdated practice. In many cases (beyond cost of living adjustments) this is a step in the right direction.

Employees Don’t Respond to Perks, They Respond to Culture

DecisionWise

The reported statistics were eye-catching, with the headline teasing that “Americans Are Willing to Forgo a 56% Pay Raise for Best Job Perks.” At the end of the day, I agree with Mr. Yadoo’s findings, but not his headline. Employees do not give up pay for perks!

Webinar Recap: Getting Started With Your Best-Self Review

What are you good at? I mean really good at? Oddly enough, that’s not usually the focus of most employee reviews. Traditionally, these reviews focus on two things: 1) what you’ve done in the past and 2) where you need to improve. Maybe that is why traditional annual employee reviews are not effective. Managers, employees, and HR all agree : the typical formal appraisal process doesn’t work for multiple reasons: Feedback can be limited, inaccurate, or outdated.

my employer fined me $90 for being late

Ask a Manager

A reader writes. My company has a ridiculous late fine policy: you will be fined $2 for every minute, starting from 9:01 a.m. So if you come in at 9:05 a.m., that’s $10 you gotta pay up in cash. (This is not somewhere where down-to-the-minute coverage would be essential. It’s just typical deskbound, back-end work. I can see why the receptionist who gets the calls will need to be there smack on the dot, but the rest of us — not really.).

Competition for top talent has become increasingly fierce, and cool perks and rewards , high salaries, and unlimited PTO seem a simple way to win people over.
