You might be looking at today’s post and thinking “What is the ‘60’ she’s talking about?”. Well, I’m referring to the number of recertification credits required to maintain credentials with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). To me, recertification is the most important part of the SHRM certification process because it reinforces a commitment to continuous learning about human resources competencies.

We’re living in a time of great political and economic uncertainty. Britain’s decision to leave the European Union sent global financial markets into a spin, and we saw the pound plunge to its lowest level in more than 30 years.

It’s no secret that an optimistic outlook, fueled by a healthy dose of gratitude, can directly contribute to happiness and success. But—according to studies focused on two types of optimism, realistic and idealistic—there may be a catch. These studies demonstrate that realistic optimists are generally healthier and more successful in work and life than their idealistic counterparts.

Why is employee engagement critical to an organization? Many think “getting more employees involved” is the end game. That’s true, but for what purpose? To make every person feel like they are making a contribution? To make them happier? To make them more supportive of leadership? If the purpose of employee engagement isn’t clearly defined, and a disciplined process to achieve that purpose isn’t established, the best that can happen is busyness and dysfunction.

In today’s business culture, one of the conundrums, semantically created is the interchange of the terms reward and recognition. Both are extremely important and work together to attract and retain high performance employees. To comprehend the meaning of both these terms, they need to be de-coupled, and their differences, as well as their benefits, need to be listed.

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.

A small business does need to run smoothly and efficiently in order to be successful. One thing that can undermine the operation of a small business is employee turnover. When an employee abruptly quits, the work that employee is responsible for performing ends up not being done. Time and money are lost this way. And then comes the additional costs of having to train a replacement.

However, they seem to lack the critical skill of confident and experienced strategic leadership to tackle the critical problems.

Author Emily Esfahani Smith explains why the pursuit of happiness backfires–and what we can do about it in the jobs we already have. For as long as human beings have existed, they’ve yearned to know what makes life worth living. Plato described man as a “being in search of meaning,” and the first great work of literature, the 4,000 year-old “Epic of Gilgamesh,” is a hero’s quest to live a meaningful life in the face of mortality.

Misconceptions about company culture are abundant. As long as you define culture correctly, the benefits of strategizing the construct within your organization are clear. Rather than crafting a company culture full of carbon copy employees , your company culture should be open to interpretation. However, too much room for interpretation could lead to a chaotic and disorganized culture and, therefore, thwart productivity.
