A couple of weeks ago, I asked you if it’s possible to recognize employees too much. This was in response to a comment I heard that employees never tire of praise. Here’s what you said about recognition at work: Honestly, we shouldn’t be surprised at the result. The clear majority of people said employees want quality over quantity.

As big data becomes more prevalent in everyday work, studies show that HR leaders, analysts and their constituents must not only be adept at data analysis, but also at providing context, imagery, mental models and stories around this analysis.

The first six months of 2016 have come and gone, and in that time, we’ve seen an increase in the number of companies adopting HR analytics. While this is good news, it is by no means the end of the journey. A powerful analytics function can help you easily overcome new regulations, achieve diversity goals, get ahead of turnover, and more, but it requires the right mix of people, technology, and process to achieve.

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.

Believe it or not, Millennials (1980-2000) may not be the first generation of so-called “trophy kids.” The famous quote by Samuel Adams, “Give credit where credit is due” originates all the way back to the 1700s. So why have Millennials been pegged as “trophy kids” ? Some believe we expect a blue ribbon for every task we complete, no matter how trivial.

The roles of independent contractors and full-time employees were often ambiguous in the past, as arguably employers’ means of classification relied in how the job was done versus who was doing the job (and for how long). However, the Affordable Care Act’s crackdown on employees receiving adequate health insurance has led to all sorts of issues arising from misclassification of employees.

They might be actively disengaged, spreading negativity and performing poorly. But, they might also just be doing the bare minimum, going through the motions without a hint of enthusiasm.

How many people trust their managers? A recent study by Edelman found that one in three employees don’t trust their employer.

Trust is one of the most important things you need in the workplace. Without it you won’t have the environment you need for an effective feedback culture to grow.

Job seekers these days have few advantages when applying for jobs if they don’t have an inside contact to smooth the path. The best recruiters make it easy to connect and make it possible to forge a working relationship with the brand. A recruiters job is to find top talent, yes, but a big part of that job is defending the brand against bad hires – think of Zappos’ practice of buying out employees who don’t “fit” quickly.

This summer, she got her first job and I asked her to tell us what it’s like to be working for the first time.
