Every once in a while, I run across an article that talks about why organizations shouldn’t calculate cost per hire. Personally, I’m a big fan of the cost per hire metric. I think it provides valuable information. Back in 2012, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) worked with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to create a uniform standard calculation for cost per hire (CPH).

Listen to our interview with Sharlyn Lauby in the latest episode of WorkHuman Radio embedded at the top of this post. One of the biggest mistakes organizations make is hiring or promoting the most technically competent person without giving them the tools to be successful. It’s true that managers need to have technical skills. Employees want to know that their manager understands the work they do.

When our oldest child entered middle school, we found it necessary to meet with his principal. At that time of course, school was his full-time job — and there were developing signs that it was the wrong job. As parents, we felt the need to discuss a strategy to address the job-person fit. To be frank, the over-riding goal was not to boost his grades, but to protect him as a developing individual.

Groupthink is what happens when the desire to have harmony and consensus discourages healthy dissent during the decision-making process. In other words, when individuals fear rocking the boat, they don’t voice their disagreement – even if they know they should. The results can be disastrous. Consider the failure to anticipate Pearl Harbor, the escalation of the Vietnam War and the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

Whether we like to admit it or not, stress and anxiety levels in the workplace continue to rise. And these levels do in fact, impact the workplace. According to the American Institute of Stress one million US employees miss work every day due to stress.

Naturally, your HR department is the first stop for employees looking to air their grievances (and hopefully not much else). We know it all sounds funny, but if handled inappropriately, something as minor as a scent can carry big compliance risks.
