An "A Player" is a top performer that has measurable impact on your business and whose traits and competencies are desirable in being applied to the hiring and talent management process.

One of the core topics in any orientation and onboarding program is company culture. We want candidates to see the company culture before they apply and during the hiring process so they know they’re a good fit. And we want them to fully immerse in the culture once they arrive. And I use the word “immerse” because some organizations are taking the challenge literally and creating cultural immersion programs.

We live in a technological age. Devices connect employees continually, and their use (and overuse) can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, including overwork and burnout. The constant presence of tech seems to correlate with another trend—the erosion of the average attention span—with a series of studies showing a decline from 12 seconds in 2000 to 8 seconds in 2013.

Uber made a huge stride in their favor at the top of March, when a California court named them victorious in yet another misclassification case. The case surrounded once again classifications of Uber drivers as employees over independent contractors. The ruling was that Uber drivers are independent contractors.

Managers have the most direct influence on employees they line manage.

I’m amazed at the amount of small businesses and local businesses that lack social media presence in this day of age. I can’t understand why: This is still happening. (It’s 2017…come on). People are getting paid to do marketing for them but not taking risks. Automation isn’t being used. (Heck, maybe they don’t know about it). Few small businesses are taking advantage of interactive content.

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. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

I’ve learned a lot along the way: We pinch people who aren’t wearing green as a reminder to wear green so that the leprechauns won’t find them. Chicago really does dye the river green.
