For the most part, Corporate Recruiters are paid a salary. That salary ranges widely from organization to organization, industry, function and location. I’ve seen corporate recruiters who make $40,000 and ones that make $150,000. The $150K corporate recruiters are overpaid, let me just throw that out there right off the bat! Agency recruiters are usually paid some salary and a combination of commission and bonus.

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.

There’s a movement in my industry called “HR Positive.”. You guys are sharp. I don’t need to draw you a map. It’s about saying positive things about HR and being helpful instead of critical. Being positive is a good way to live your life. Why be a jerk if you don’t have to be a jerk? Nothing good comes from incessant nit-picking and infighting. I like to think that I’m HR-positive.

The second thought may be around culture. After all, collaboration is about people working together, and the intangibles of how individuals are incented and supported matter.

Focusing on talent diversity is no longer optional. It’s a requirement for optimum business performance—and the mandate needs to come from the very top. A true diversity and inclusion initiative is about more than ensuring that rules are followed and the requisite diversity programs and regulations are in place. It needs to be part of a company’s core values, not an add-on that looks good on paper.

By Deb LaMere, VP of Employee Engagement, Ceridian. A strong work ethic is certainly an admirable quality to have. But we live in a society that seems to glorify being busy – paying little mind to the reality that busy doesn’t necessarily mean productive. And while most people acknowledge that taking time to relax and rejuvenate is essential, it is also becoming increasingly difficult to do.

A reader sent me an email asking if a “1.75 percent raise” was appropriate for salary in the 90k range. “It’s like giving a waitress a $7 tip on a $300 meal,” he wrote. First of all, wouldn’t it be awesome to get a 15-20 percent raise each year ? Second, if any of you leave a $7 tip on a $300 meal, you deserve a good smack down, but raises and tips are not the same things.

Employees hate evaluations, and most managers do too. Why is that? In study after study , employees express their desire for feedback, but the type and frequency of feedback they receive both matter a great deal. Ticking off 'meets expectations' or 'exceeds expectations' on an evaluation form during the annual employee performance review doesn't fulfill that desire for feedback.
