No matter why you went into business, judging its success comes down to one thing: money. Do you have enough to continue and move forward? To measure how you’re doing financially, you need to establish key performance indicators, which will help you to make informed business decisions such as: How do I price my services? Can I afford to hire a new person, and what can I pay?

'If I had to use one word to describe the energy on the show floor at this year’s HR Tech, it would be this: dynamic. Remembering our first HR Tech back in 2011, and reflecting on the show this year, the first thing that strikes you is how much the Expo floor has changed because of mergers and acquisitions. Of course, this M&A is driven by vendors realizing the complex needs of the HR industry and their desire to meet as many of those challenges as possible with as many modules as possible.

It’s interesting to see how the recruiting landscape has changed over the past years. When the 2008 recession began (and even as it entered full swing), applicant engagement was the last thing on the minds of the few organizations hiring at the time. I recall a frustrated client telling me at the time that he could probably get 150 applicants for a job opening just by posting a 3” x 5” index card in the front window of his lobby!

Speaker: Ann Meyers Piccirillo
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.

'Celebrating a service anniversary is an exciting time for any employee. I admit I even get a little excited knowing that my ten-year anniversary is around the corner. How an organization chooses to celebrate the anniversary directly impacts the employee’s perception of the value the company places on them. One challenge organizations can face is getting managers to deliver the message – the organization appreciates the employee’s dedication and career contributions – in a meaningful way.

'We’re getting closer and closer to another election season. Even though this is a “light” year for elections locally, that doesn’t stop the candidates who are running for office from filling the airwaves with commercials. And, true to form, there are few candidates who say what they’re going to do. Instead, they spend millions of dollars to smear their opponent.

'A shorter more simple definition of employee engagement. It has taken me about 8 years and 10,000 hours to get to a definition of employee engagement that is both simple and elegant. I am discouraged with emotional and attitudinal surveys as I have become increasingly behavioral in my views of work and engagement. My definition puts engagement in the hands of each employee — I can choose to do this everyday while also being enabled and encouraged by my leaders, managers, and organization.

'First things first. This wise little maxim is the underlying theme of “ Stop Teaching People How to Give Feedback ,” a thought-provoking post written by Fistful of Talent guest blogger, Ben Olds. When Olds instructs us to nix the feedback lessons, he means temporarily of course. Just until we’ve put first things first. The “first thing” in this case, according to Olds, is for us to recognize that simply teaching managers to give feedback “doesn’t work.

'When companies need to fill a position, often their first thought is to post a job vacancy, ask around, or even scope out who they might be able to poach from the competition. But, what if the talent they need is right in front of them? A recent Dale Carnegie study shows that 71 percent of employees are not fully engaged in their work. Even worse, 26 percent are actively disengaged, meaning their negativity could prove to be a serious threat to your company culture and overall success.

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.

It''s also great to see employees’ expectations about the future improving quite dramatically in Glassdoor’s Q3 2014 UK Employment Confidence Survey. The 10% fall in fear of redundancy is a big change from last quarter and would seem to be due, at least in part, to a reduced level of organisational belt tightening with employees reporting less
