There is an inclination in many organizations to distribute available salary increase dollars equally across all jobs, people and circumstances. In some places, it is a standard operating rule - even a value ( accidental or not). We call this the peanut butter approach to compensation , and it rests on the notion that the more equal we make things, the more fair they will be.

I wanted to share with you an interesting conversation I had with a couple of human resources professionals about the upcoming changes to the overtime rule under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). One of the people in the group mentioned a challenge they were having, not because of the pay change, but because the employee impacted was going to have to move from an office with a door to a cubicle.

By Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – Shifting away from too much hierarchy, organizations need to emphasize more dynamic and more human ways of working. The pace of changes facing modern businesses is incredible. Many organizations are finding that those changes require an evolution in management philosophy- away from aspects that were successful during the Industrial Era and toward aspects that allow the organization to be more dynamic.

I've heard the excuses for years.literally. Leaders complaining about everything under the sun that is negatively impacting their departments. It is rarely their inaction or overinflated ego that is to blame; but instead, is an unfair productivity standard, a poor candidate pool, budget pressure, unreasonable physicians, and on and on. Listen I've also had the pleasure to work with some gifted leaders who chose to not let the excuses get in the way of their connection to their teams.

The human resources profession is just starting to catch up to finance and accounting in terms of codifying a standard business language. True, everyone in HR shares some common metrics, such as head count and time-to-fill. But HR is not even close to having anything like the working standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Recognition and rewards are both important elements of your employee engagement strategy, however most executives use the terms interchangeably, when in-fact, each has its own unique purpose. Recognition vs. Rewards: In order to reap the benefits of rewards and recognition it is first important to understand the differences between the two. Recognition is relational, it is something that can be experienced, personalized, and is generally based on achievement.

A reader writes: My friend and I shared a paddock in which we kept our horses. She did the morning feeds and I did the afternoon feeds. One morning, when my friend was feeding up, she discovered that my 29-year-old mare was colicing (basically a stomach upset; horses can’t throw up so if there is a blockage or something making them sick, it causes a lot of problems) and because it looked serious she called the vet.

This is a question that the executive team at HPM Building Supply , a 95-year veteran of the building material industry in Hawaii, was asking itself in 2013. Economic recovery had resulted in sales growth and associated hiring, but competition was also fierce for an already limited labor pool. Multiple locations across the state, ranging from rural to metropolitan, added a level of complexity to compensation as part of a recruitment and retention strategy for HPM’s 300 employees.

And with the persistent skills gap at organizations in the United States, it’s more important than ever to develop a sourcing strategy that’s as effective as possible.

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. Did I get too drunk at a work party? I recently attended a work party. There was a lot of drinking and a lot of dancing. I don’t usually do much of either, but I ended up drinking three and a half glasses of wine (my usual limit is two) and being louder and more outgoing than usual. I also ended up dancing (something normally outside my comfort zone) and at one point grabbed the hand of someone I was sitting with and held it for a moment

For example, with less than one month to go before the new overtime regulations, our survey has found that over half (53.1%) of respondents have not informed their workers about the change in overtime laws.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity.

Semi-frequent reminder as we all continue to push further and further into a world with constant, varied, and often very, very imperfect and uniformed feedback on almost everything we do, (I took an Uber ride last night from the airport to a hotel, I can only wonder what my driver was thinking as he 'rated' by performance as a passenger), that lots of the feedback we encounter is basically, crap.
