Staffing a hotel is no easy feat. With turnover at 50% for non-management hotel employees, you’ll end up replacing half of your staff every few months. To slow the cycle of hire, train, repeat, you have to be sure that the people you bring on are right for the role—meaning they have the traits and competencies to succeed in the position, and possibly the potential to move up within your organization.

I’m not naïve. There are plenty of HR horror stories out there – just like any profession. That being said, human resources is often the “go-to” place for employees and they need to feel comfortable coming to HR. Today’s reader note asks what to do when you feel that isn’t possible. I was recently accused of harassing and bullying by someone with anxiety.

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.

Whether you’re at the bottom of the ladder or already on your way up, it’s important to understand that raw performance is not the only determinant of your career evolution within an organisation. Of course, poor performers are less likely to fast-track their career ambitions but many more factors can be accounted for. Many psychological studies have pointed out the role that the attitudes and behaviours we adopt play in influencing both our personal and professional success.

There are two problems plaguing performance reviews today. The first is how to accurately measure performance. The second is how to develop or improve performance. Research shows performance reviews are not accurate, due to recency bias among other factors. But even if your annual performance evaluation could be accurate, the anxiety associated with evaluations and ratings can take a hit on employee engagement that lasts months, and negates any benefit of having run the review cycle.

Humans have an innate ability to connect and collaborate. In fact, some say it’s a biological need. As we grow and develop we crave human interaction – regardless of how extraverted or introverted we might think we are. So if we genuinely desire to collaborate, why is effective team collaboration and engagement often one of the most difficult things to achieve in the workplace?

Background checks have been around for years. However, as many people realize, the internet is making it much easier for one to a lot about a person of your concern at the click of a button; from criminal history and public records to finding people and their arrest records. In the past, it was a bit harder, and the background checks reports were shallower, as most of the background checks were done manually.

Eliminating silos is key to team and organizational success. Yet they continue to exist and, in some cases, dominate an organization’s culture. Silo Mindset vs. Collaboration Mindset. Teams and organizations struggling with silos and the silo mindset are limited by how much collaboration they experience. I view the silo mindset as a fixed mindset and the collaboration mindset as a growth mindset, based on the work of Stanford University professor Carol Dweck in her book, Mindset: The New P

It’s no surprise that when senior executives perceive employee apathy and read that three-quarters of their people are looking for new jobs, despite $700 million spent on engagement, they become cynics. Some may even begin to suspect that employees claim to be disengaged just so they can get new perks, but, as we’ve said, engagement works. The key to success is knowing what engagement is, how it differs from satisfaction, and how to cultivate it on an organization-wide scale.

Human resources is at the heart of any organization. Taking care of your people is the key to a successful business, and that means HR professionals need to communicate, connect, and collaborate. It’s not an easy responsibility—and there’s more to it than processing payroll, open enrollment, and recruiting. Plus, the constantly changing HR compliance and trends add complexity and new challenges every day.

A new study highlights a major management issue that might be going unnoticed in most American companies – employees often feel a disconnect with how their role affects their company’s bottom line. The study from Robert Half suggests that employees want more insight into how their efforts contribute to their company’s success. The survey includes responses from more than 1,000 workers in the U.S., ages 18 years or older and currently employed in office environments.

Here’s the average amount of time recruiters spend looking at a resume: 6.25 seconds. That’s how long it takes to evaluate, by brain, whether or not a candidate is the right fit for a job. And here’s another stat: this is the thirteenth month in a row when 200,000 plus jobs have been created. So, theoretically, to fill 200,000 jobs would require 347 hours of brain time.

At this point in my career I find them laughable. You can see them coming a mile away. They strut around the organization with such arrogance.um, I mean, confidence.that most employees don't take them seriously anymore. The sad part is they have no idea they have become a caricature of their former self. They are a running joke, not a leader to be taken seriously.

One of the biggest issues in any organization is the lack of congruency between what the strategy says and what people do on a day-to-day basis. The strategy says one thing and not only do people do another, they do different things out of sync with the strategy. Massive inconsistency and dysfunction results. This is a failure of leadership. Leadership tends to place more focus on direction-setting rather than on determining how the strategy will be executed.

First let me start off by saying I believe the wage gap is real. It exists. The wage gap is an issue according to what I know about being a woman and according to research, which tells us that women are making on average $.78 for every dollar a man makes. Having been involved in my share of salary negotiations and compensation investigations, I can say that none of my investigations were concluded with evidence that a hiring manager was intentionally providing male candidates with more compensat

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. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

There is also a regional director in charge of operations at my location, and while it makes day-to-day life in the office more pleasant if I get along with this person, he doesn’t have any authority
