If you are like the majority of people in the United States, you own a pet. And most likely that pet is a cat or a dog. Your life probably looks something like this: You get up in the morning, go through your routine, and leave for work. Your pet stays at home and waits for your return. That is the life of most pets and their owners. But what if you were to bring your pet to work?

The winter testing window is coming up with HRCI (the Human Resources Certification Institute, for you newbies), and you might be wondering what the difference is between the PHR and SPHR exams. With both of the exam pass rates hovering around 50% (54% PHR, 53% SPHR), it’s critical to make sure you understand the requirements of each and develop a proper plan for preparing.

ACA Times

For many employers, Form 1095-C is a new document. It is the Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage form, used to report that you have offered health care to full-time employees. This ACA mandate came down hard in the 2015 tax year, as more employers had to move toward offering healthcare coverage or facing the threat of penalties. Your employees are equally in the dark on this form, as most haven’t received a reported notification that they were “offered” health care—even if they

Despite compelling research from McKinsey , which found that companies with gender diversity are 15 percent more likely to outperform less diverse companies, diversity and inclusion (D&I) progress in American companies has been painfully slow. Consider these stats: Although women comprise 45 percent of the American workforce, they represent less than 5 percent of CEOs and less than 20 percent of board members.

To say that I was a little late watching " The Wolf of Wall Street " is an understatement. Released in 2013, I didn't see it until last week and then suffered through a 4-hour FX version that had 5 minute commercial breaks. Thankfully, it was DVR time. I was underwhelmed by the movie. I get it- Jordan Belfort is a pathological criminal who we're supposed to go back and forth between hating and admiring - " Look!

For many employers, working with remote employees has become the new normal. It's estimated that 45 percent of Americans work from home, and 53 million work as freelancers in the United States. Many freelancers work for clients who don't provide benefits, but an increasing number of remote employees are full-time workers who seek employers offering competitive benefit packages.

Many of us in HR and Leadership circles – I am among them – bemoan the negativity that springs up during the process of recruiting employees, affecting positive candidate experience and your employer brand.

Massachusetts has made it illegal for employers to ask job candidates what they’ve earned in the past. The state’s new pay equity law, which was signed last week and goes into effect next summer, makes Massachusetts the first state in the U.S. to ban asking about salary history. The step is a victory for job seekers, who have long been put at a disadvantage by employers who base salary offers on past earnings, which has meant that people who have been making below-market wages are mo

How do you really get to know a candidate during the hiring process? You’ve got a small amount of time to make a big investment, and depending on your process, you may only have one or two opportunities to talk with a candidate over the phone or face-to-face. To get the most out of these brief interactions, you have to be smart about the questions you ask.

Do you have questions about what the new overtime law will mean for you? There’s a round-up of reader questions about this below, and you’re welcome to leave your own questions in the comments; I’ll try to answer as many as I can.

Wishing something were a particular way certainly does not make it so. And a recent study indicated that this seems to be the case with corporate culture. The research, which was performed by VitalSmart Cofounders Joseph Grenny and David Maxfield, found a discrepancy between what corporate executives say they want their company culture to look like and what employees believe managers actually value.

Does your company have a culture in which innovation thrives? Are people challenging the status quo and being encouraged by leaders to take risks in pursuit of innovation? Or is the opposite true? Do you managers greet new ideas and suggestions with the comment, “But we tried that last year and it didn’t work?”.

A reader writes: I’m a 20-year-old summer intern at a company that I absolutely love, and one of the reasons I like it so much is the casual environment and culture. There’s an office candy stash, complimentary yoga classes, and no dress code (my offer letter literally says that I could come to work in a sparkly cowboy suit if I really wanted to). Usually, I wear sundresses (like many women in the office).

A few weeks ago I wrote about how the latest data shows that in the US it has never taken longer, (in terms of business days), to fill the average open position. Here's the chart backing up that statement, in case you want a little bit of a refresher. After I ran the post I got a couple of emails and a few comments on Twitter that more or less said the same thing - 'Time to fill' doesn't matter.

Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed a bill into law on August 1, 2016 that has the potential to change the way that salaries are determined in a major way. The law bars employers from asking about what an employee candidate made at previous jobs. Additionally, employers are no longer allowed to forbid employees to talk about their wages or benefits with other employees as a condition of employment.

It can be frustrating as a manager when your best talent walks out the door and you're forced to begin looking for someone to replace him or her.
