Whether we’re looking at improving performance in a sportive or professional context, receiving constructive feedback is precious. Feedback allows people to modify their behaviour to help them attain their goals. For a manager, giving feedback is a way to help employees reach the goals that they have been assigned. It consists in identifying the gap that exist between expectations and objectives.

This is an excerpt from a guest blog written for Greenhouse. Check out the full article on the Greenhouse Blog. A couple months ago I was sitting at a dinner with a few friends who are in senior leadership positions at companies. We were talking about how to gauge employee sentiment, and one friend said, “I learn everything I need to know about my employees through our monthly engagement survey.

I have done dozens of presentations in my professional life. But boy was I nervous about a recent one. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to deliver my first ever Ignite-style presentation. I was sweating it, big time. In short, you get five minutes to explore a topic. The kicker? Your 20 slides auto-advance every 15 seconds, leaving you without any control.

One of my very first managers had a little catchphrase she liked to use whenever she assigned out a new tasks. Without fail, she would tell us, “I won’t ask you to do anything I wouldn’t be willing to do myself.”. It was a nice sentiment, but the truth of it was, sometimes she delegated tasks for which she was not qualified. Usually, these had to do with specific machines or computer tasks, but more than a little bit of the time, she was asserting she had the will , when my coworkers and I knew

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.

It’s been a crazy couple months here in the US. We’ve seen more disruption than most of us planned for from our presidential election, regardless of who we voted for (or didn’t vote for). Let’s be honest, there is quite an uproar about all the negative disruption we’re now facing. However, it reminds me that while some disruption can be bad, there can also be disruption for good.

HR and technology used to be two words you wouldn't necessarily think to hear in the same sentence. We associated HR with manual, laborious, and time-intensive processes that required human effort to power the engine. And frankly, a lot of processes within the HR umbrella were time-intensive and manual. That, however, has changed.

Under the Affordable Care Act , employees unable to afford the minimum essential coverage from employers are possibly eligible for Premium Tax Credits from the Health Insurance Marketplace to assist in healthcare. This assistance has fallen into the domain of anti-discriminatory quality control, as some employees have placed retaliatory complaints against their employers, suggesting they were unfairly treated following their need for financial aid.

Cyberslacking. This is not a word common to many people, but it’s a workplace condition that has become a problem of epidemic measures. According to a Harris Poll for CareerBuilder, it was reported that twenty-four percent of workers admitted they spend at least an hour a day on personal email, texts, and personal calls. More than half of the employers surveyed said the biggest distraction at work comes from employees using their cell phones and 44 percent saying the same about the Interne

The word ‘agile’ has been a buzz word for some time now. Agile – by definition – is the ability to move quickly and easily. Agile from a project management perspective is typically used within technology projects; however, other types of projects are beginning to adopt the agile project management methodology to improve the successful delivery of project deliverables and ensure acceptance of new initiatives.

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.

I didn't get into social media tools because I thought they were cool. Quite honestly, it was out of desperation.
