It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. Employee takes a vacation day every week. I’m hoping you can tell me if there is anything that can be done about an employee who had admitted to taking one vacation day a week each month so that he is working only four days a week most months of the year!

If you ’ve never had the pleasure (or discomfort) of watching the television show Hoarders , you may not know how unsettling clutter can be. Stacks of newspapers, shelves collapse under canned goods. Furniture, pets and even people can find themselves disoriented and hidden under piles of old items that are no longer useful. It’s impossible to find anything, enjoy anything or use the homes featured on the show for their intended purpose.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Recent technological advances have made it easier than ever to decouple offices from jobs. They have also released a surge of interest in alternative ways of work, increasingly known as “remote-curious.” This is great news for employers, who now have unprecedented access to a global talent pool and can hire the best employees, wherever they are. It also means that employees are no longer bound to look for a job within commuting distance and, in some cases, can look for a different balance betwee

I’ve noticed for some time now, at least amongst some HR professionals, and in some pockets of conversation within the HR world, that there has been a fair amount of discussion about the need to put the “human” back in human resources. Not so much implying that we’ve all become robots or total slaves to technology (at least not yet!), but rather that as we get busier, add more to our plates, and expand the scope of HR, or as we get caught in the grind of our day-to-day, that we also
