As we prepare for review season, we at Reflektive have been doing some research and discovered that there is a disturbing lack of resources online about how to give office dogs their performance reviews. Dogs–like humans–are very sensitive, which is why giving them performance feedback delicately and positively is crucial to their engagement and productivity.

It’s a well-known cliché in HR circles that employees quit their bosses, not their jobs. However, having run many employee surveys and regularly studying analytics on employee engagement, I’ve found that the root of the problem goes much deeper than that.

More than half (53 percent) of U.S. companies with 500 or more employees conduct employee engagement surveys. However, more than a third of managers do not act on the results of these surveys. The implications of this inaction, which has held at a relatively constant rate for several years, are particularly significant in today’s business environment in which high turnover rates and historically low unemployment converge to reduce capacity for achieving growth forecasts.

Employee engagement is a win-win proposition for all stakeholders. Actively engaged employees create an enriched work environment, do a better job of meeting organizational objectives and provide top-notch customer service. The level of employee engagement at a firm directly correlates with organizational productivity. American firms have a wealth of opportunity for improvement in this area.

Skilled workers are hard to find in today's job market, and organizations offer everything from greater learning opportunities to free smoothie day to attract the right talent to fill their vacancies. But most of the time, dangling free food at candidates won't solve the problem. Companies' recruiting challenges stem from many factors—though some are out of their control, others need to be tackled head on within their organization.

I was at a conference recently where a speaker used the term “HR Lab”. I thought it was pretty cool. My vision of a lab is a place where you test out new things. Or you take existing things and tweak them a little. Human resources could definitely use a Lab. When I think back on my HR career, I know there have been times when I would have loved to spend more time thinking through a policy or procedure.

“Bandwidth! My kingdom for more team bandwidth!”. Okay, maybe Shakespeare used a slightly different term in Richard III (I think it had something to do with a horse), but this would certainly be an apt replacement for many managers out there today. As corporate purse strings tighten in the post-recession era and the need for ROI is seemingly ever-increasing, it’s not uncommon for workloads to expand without the corresponding increase in talent.

If you haven’t seen it, there’s an interesting article in The New York Times titled, “ Generation Grumpy: Why You May Be Unhappy if You’re Around 50 ”. The article talks about how people usually become more mellow with age BUT not the current group of middle aged Americans (aka the “Grumpy Middle”). My take from the article is that this group of people missed out on their peak income earning years because of economic downturns like the Great Recession and the growing wealth gap.

A few years ago, I was introduced to the concept of curation. It’s when information is gathered relevant to a particular topic or interest. Curation can be provided by individuals. For example, some could say that this issue of “Bookmark This!” is curated around the subject of curation. Curation can also be provided by companies. For example, there’s a lot of curated newsletters popping up like The Skimm, Morning Brew , and NextDraft.
