Nearly 2 million people in the United States work in a job related to electric power generation or fuels according to the U.S Department of Energy. While we often think of police, fire, and medical personnel as first responders, it’s easy to forget that this vast workforce plays a significant role in crisis response, especially after natural disasters.

Organizations decide they’re going to change all the time. Especially during times like we’re experiencing today, when recruiting is tough, engagement is a challenge, and retention is a top priority. It’s not unusual for an organization to say, “We need to change so we can get the best talent and crush the competition.” But organizational change doesn’t happen just because: Something goes offline, like a system.

There’s a lot of talk about the role of the HR analyst so I thought it would be fun to compare some of the job descriptions out there. I randomly selected 5 HR analyst job openings on LinkedIn and, after removing the company-specific information, posted them below. Do you see any trends? My hypothesis was that job descriptions with similar names would mention similar requirements.

More students are pursuing higher education than ever before—but at a higher cost. The result? The national student debt burden is approaching $1.5 trillion, and in 2016 the average college student graduated with over $37,000 in student loans. For many potential college students who are now the future of our workforce, this process has become untenable.

An employee who spends more time in the office isn’t necessarily a more productive employee. “The State of American Vacation 2017” report—a survey of over 7,000 American workers—found that 38% of employees want to be seen as a “work martyr”, someone who sacrifices time-off to put in more hours at the office. This mindset is part of the reason that the majority of employees, 54%, end the year with unused vacation time. 54% of employees end the year with unused vacation time.

I was in a meeting recently where someone commented that HR pros don’t know project management. And I thought, really? Managing projects is one of the largest responsibilities we have in human resources. It could be a small project like organizing an employee event or a large scale project such as implementing a new software solution. Regardless of size, projects are an important part of what we do.

Employee feedback should be simple. Just speak with your employees, right? Not exactly. Most managers are afraid to communicate with employees and for good reason. Research shows that feedback interventions can often backfire and more than one-third of feedback conversations actually decrease performance. As a manager, giving feedback is something you will probably do as the most frequent part of any continuous performance management process.

A coach coaches in real-time during a game, reacting to their team’s performance and providing in-the-moment guidance to help the players improve and the team win. The coach doesn’t wait until the end of the season to start coaching. The same principle applies to performance reviews. The traditional method of performance management – waiting until the end of the year, or doing biannual reviews, simply doesn’t work.

I don’t know about you, but I have some plans for the future. However, sometimes simply writing down goals isn’t enough. I want to see more than the words. I want to see the future. Vision boards can be a good way to do that. They are a tool used to help clarify, concentrate, and maintain focus on a specific life goal. Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever you want to be, do, or have in your life.

Top-performing companies understand just how critical the workplace culture is to their success, so they’re intentional and systematic about how they create, drive, and describe their cultures. They know that culture is the “enabler”—or the “hobbler”—for new strategic plans and directions. The companies with the highest-performing teams and most robust bottom lines make accountability the centerpiece of their culture.

From the Concern Resilience Library In popular culture, the term “muscle head” gets applied to people who seem to be more about the physical than the mental. As if lifting heavy objects and doing heavy thinking had to be mutually exclusive. It may be time to rethink that label as science is continually connecting more and more dots between physical exercise and increased brain function.

Changes in a workplace are inevitable, which means HR teams, hiring managers, and recruitment firms must adapt and keep up with their employees. Generations will keep on evolving, and soon, workplaces will be dominated by Millennials. You’ve probably seen five different generations working together in your office such as the traditionalists, baby boomers, gen X, Millennials, and gen Z.

by Lynette Silva. Recognize This! – A day doesn’t accomplish much. But a movement can. Be inspired this International Women’s Day. It’s International Women’s Day. That immediately raises three questions. Why do women get a day and men don’t? ( Men do – it’s in November.). What will a day accomplish? (A single day won’t accomplish much. But the attention that a single day can bring to an important discussion can accomplish quite a lot over time.).

Enterprise Zone (EZ) programs have existed in the United States since the early 1980’s. However, most people are unaware of these programs or fail to realize their impact.

By Laurie Ruettimann. You can’t go online without hearing about another leader falling from grace. We don’t always know what happened, but we assume it’s bad. Ford Motor Company just fired a top executive for misconduct. A company investigation found that Raj Nair’s behavior was inconsistent with the company’s culture and code of conduct, but a spokesperson declined to use specific language to elaborate on the claims.

“Put your head down, work hard, and you’ll be promoted.” Odds are, if you’re a woman, you’ve heard this oft-repeated aphorism about how to get ahead in the workplace. Perhaps, as you started out your career, you even believed it. Yet the rise of #MeToo movement this fall has made clear what women have long suspected (or, in many cases, known): workplace success is tied not only to what we do, but to who we are.

Zamperini faces extraordinary trauma, as depicted in the book Unbroken , and he has leadership lessons for all of us. If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, Unbroken , you must add it to your list. Zamperini’s story is unbelievable that one person could survive so much and live a healthy life to age 97.

Many conversations they’re exposed to at board-level seek to address actual performance and organisational capability to meet current and future needs.
