One afternoon, I walked into the office ready to work and in less than 5 minutes time, I was sat down, fired, made to sign a letter and given a pittance severance.

72% of submitted applications are never read by an actual person. Does that surprise you? It’s due to the use of Applicant Tracking Systems. These systems scan resumes to determine if a candidate’s qualifications match up with what the company wants in an employee. If you’re missing certain keywords or have fewer qualifications than another applicant, then it’s unlikely your resume will ever be seen by a person and you won’t get the job.

We won’t mince words: Giving and receiving feedback in the workplace is nerve wracking. You have to work with many of your teammates day in and day out, and the last thing you want to do is sour your relationship with them through poorly handled feedback. On the other hand, failing to deliver necessary feedback could result in team dysfunction and simmering resentment.

Onboarding is a crucial time to steer the employee experience in a rewarding direction. As with many employee experiences that fall under the responsibility of HR, the potential financial upsides might not be obvious, but they are present. The first day of a new job is often strange.

Here’s a question for you. Are the choices you make today, in terms of the company you work with, the job you do, or the personal choices you make, consistent with who you used to be, who you are today, or with who you want to be in the future? Is it desirable, or even possible, to have those three be congruent? As I see it, people often act and react as if there is consistency in life.
