A thought occurred to me last week after a meeting with one of our clients — why don’t more organizations use employee assessments ? Here at ExactHire, we use and promote the use of assessment tools for many employee issues. Among those uses are hiring, team building, succession planning and 360 degree feedback for performance reviews. Then it hit me…most people (and therefore organizations) see these tools as “tests”, not assessments.

My older daughter graduated from college in May and has been working at her new job since June. Last night we had a conversation that got me thinking about how school does a really terrible job of preparing our young people for "the real world" by setting up some seriously unrealistic expectations. In school, we teach kids that: Life happens in a series of connected, time-delineated steps (courses, semesters) so there's always "light at the end of the tunnel" and its clear what the next step wil

Social Recognition: Are you really social in your social media? Anemic connections. I am finding more and more people in social media are broadcasting updates but connecting very little. You do not really connect with someone when you &# like&# or “+1″ them or list them in a weak weekly Twitter “#FF&# -Follow Friday. Geometric yet automated growth.

Technical degrees might open doors—but it’s the soft skills that keep them open. In the face of disruption, evolving workplace dynamics, and rising expectations of leadership, soft skills like communication, emotional intelligence, and presence have become core business essentials—not nice-to-haves. Inspired by stories from her father coupled with her own career journey, seasoned executive Chandra McCormack breaks down how to lead with impact, connect with purpose, and cultivate a workplace cult

I was doing some work on knowledge transfer at Erickson in Sweden. As I interviewed technicians I kept hearing Hans’ name come up as the person to go to if a technician had a question about the computer language C++. Finally I checked with someone, “So Hans must be the resident expert on C++?” and was quickly told, “Oh no, the resident expert is Joachim, but he’s not very good at explaining.

Welcome to the Carnival of Human Resources. It's a good thing it isn't performance appraisal time because none of you sent me brownies. Or any food, for that matter. But, the truly high achievers managed to incorporate food into this carnival, which makes me happy and hungry. It seems like most of you were too busy writing about the stuff you actually do, and I realize why it's so difficult to answer the question "Just What Does HR Do?

'It recently occurred to me that there’s a lot leaders can learn from 5-year-olds. For example: Use what you have – Don’t have a dollhouse? Use a shoe box! Don’t be afraid to use stuff in a new way – Ignore that nice stable mommy bought you for your toy horses, make your own using a bead necklace. Be insatiably curious – Enough said. Make time to play – As Mary Poppins taught us, the potential for fun lurks where you least expect it.

As the workforce ages, retirement is becoming a more complex and emotionally significant transition. For many employees, retiring marks not only a change in benefits and income but also a shift in identity, community, and purpose. This webinar explores how HR professionals can support aging and retiring employees through a trauma-informed lens—one that recognizes the emotional and psychological dimensions of leaving the workforce.

'I’ve been having more and more conversations about diversity lately. Many of the people I speak to jump to the conclusion that I’m somehow discussing employment practices. Not true…selection is such a small part of diversity. I have had somewhat of an epiphany on the topic recently (thanks in large part to Joe Gerstandt.) As I look around my world, my coworkers, friends, family members, and neighbors, I’ve realized that each of us is different.

Over the span of each of your careers, I’m sure you can pinpoint at least one time in which you had a very unfortunate, if not comical, recruitment experience with an organization. That is, the company made some major blunder while recruiting you…for example, during an interview or a follow-up communication. If so, I invite you to comment and share your experiences, though please keep the organization anonymous to protect the innocent.

As the child of alcoholics, I grew up intimately acquainted with dysfunctional family dynamics and their impacts on me. I've spent a lifetime trying to overcome these effects, as a matter of fact. . The other day, I was talking with a friend about her dysfunctional workplace and for some reason I was reminded of how I felt in my family. It hit me how, even as adults, we can be pulled into the dysfunction of the workplace as surely as we may have felt it in our families. .

Drawing out those insights requires bringing knowledge workers together in meetings that are expressly designed to take advantage of collective knowledge.

I have dozens of examples as to why I was so influenced by this person. Looking back now, I am not surprised that I have been in leadership roles beginning at a "young" age in both my personal and professional lives.

Given the work that I do, I'm a sucker for skill lists. As our work worlds grow ever more complex and challenging, it seems that the skills themselves become more complex too. . Increasingly, though, I've begun to believe that these lists are distracting us from the real skills of success. While working with big data , operating in virtual teams and"cognitive load management"all sound great, I think there are far more fundamental skills we should be developing first. .
