Decision fatigue refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions as one is forced to engage in more and more decision-making. If you’ve ever planned an event, re-designed a home or purchased a new car, you probably remember the exhaustion and indifference that eventually resulted from being faced with so many choices. Many companies put managers at risk of decision fatigue by creating performance management, compensation, staffing and development processes that require evaluating multiple peopl

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. I’m getting a smaller raise because I negotiated when I started. I’ve been working for my current company for just over a year now. My boss has been thrilled with my work, and a few months ago he verbally expressed that he would like to give me a merit raise. He said we would discuss it at another time as the raise wouldn’t kick in until performance review time, early this year.

You find yourself having to fill a job vacancy at work. Perhaps it’s a tough position where you’ve had above average turnaround. Or, your company is ramping up its growth. Or, you would simply like the timesaving advantage of having a potential candidate start as soon as possible and test them out before making an offer. These are the more popular reasons for hiring a temporary employee with the intention of making them permanent, once they meet your criteria.

A few months ago, I had the opportunity to hear Shally Steckerl , founder of The Sourcing Institute Foundation and senior sourcing consultant at Fiserv, talk about “Using Tools and Pipelines to Source Talent” at the Recruiting Trends & Talent Tech Conference. One of the things he mentioned stuck with me: the notion that it’s not only important to find and try new recruiting sources, but to evaluate their effectiveness.

Sexism in the workplace has been an important topic this past year. The headlines abound— “Study: Women Valued for Physical Attractiveness" or “We Need More Women to Overcome the Sexist Tech Industry" —but this pervasive issue could soon be addressed, if only in part, with a little help from technology. As artificial intelligence continues to play an larger role in talent acquisition, it has the potential to impact gender bias.

I’m a big believer that if you want to know what employees are thinking, you should ask them. And in this technology age, one of the best ways to do that is via an electronic survey. Surveys are only as good as their design. It’s important when designing any type of survey that the questions are constructed properly and the number of questions makes sense.

Cultures that deliver a high level of performance and create competitive advantage for an organization are grown by leaders with the foresight to recruit the right “human essence” that ensures long-term success. You hire to fill a job but you recruit to build a successful culture. In my three-decade career as an executive leader, I discovered that there are some basic competencies in people that, when operating in unison, not only create a workplace where people love to work together, but also d

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Recently, we have had several organizations come to us with the same basic question: What can we do to improve employee engagement if 90% of our employees stay less than 6 months? It’s important to note that these organizations are not fundamentally flawed and somehow hemorrhaging talent. It’s that their business models lend themselves to high turnover.

Workplace stress is an issue. According to The American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers feel stress on the job. Nearly half say that they need help in learning how to manage stress. An increasing number of organizations are looking at formal wellness programs, but honestly, that might not be enough. Organizations might have to think about how they create cultures that allow employees to feel comfortable practicing self-care.

Job satisfaction is at the heart of employee engagement. And as early as 1959, it received decisive momentum when Psychologist Frederick Herzberg published the Two Factor theory of motivation. Herzberg’s research suggests that fulfilment at work is due to two set of factors: Motivators – intrinsic conditions of the job. Hygiene factors – extrinsic factors causing in dissatisfaction if absent.

In the complex anatomy of your organization, your workforce is the heartbeat. A strong, healthy heart pumps blood throughout the body, usually at a steady rate, but can work much faster when necessary. Similarly, a robust workforce propels productivity throughout the organization, supplying oxygen in the form of discretionary effort and removing toxins such as complacency.

In 1968, Malcolm Knowles coined the term “ andragogy "—the science of adult learning—and proposed guidelines for creating content geared towards adult learners. According to Knowles, the content must be relevant, draw on life experience and be immediately useful. Additionally, adult learning must shift from dependence on the teacher to self-directed learning and the motivation to learn should come from inside the learner.

I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to technology and am guilty of irresponsibly multitasking nearly every day. What’s amusing is that I probably use less technology than most people. I use a handful of mobile apps (including messaging and the actual phone app), I haven’t owned a television in a decade, and I love my 2001 truck because it doesn’t talk to me or try to help me park.

Almost one in three people believe themselves to be perfectionists. So why isn’t the world – and the workplace – you know, better ? The pedantic answer is to point out that perfection and perfectionism are quite different things. But the deeper truth is that, far from driving us towards “better”, perfectionism can actually be a destructive force that prevents sufferers from getting things done, hinders creativity, and frequently leads to depression and illness.
