Employee Engagement is viral, and new research shows that the manager may be “ground zero.”. Managers are the sergeants of the organization. You, as a manager, have a powerful effect on how engaged your organization will ultimately be. You are on the front lines of a company’s culture. For most employees, you are the company (or at least represent the organization, as they see it).

When people think of voting, they often think of the presidential election. However, midterms and local elections happen more frequently, and these races are often just as important. In 2016, 61.4% of voting-age Americans reported voting — not much of a change from the 61.8% who reported voting in 2012, according to Census.gov. The numbers are even lower for midterms.

It still suffers from a great deal of conceptual and linguistic underdevelopment, from a lack of consistency and coherence.

“Have you ever considered a career in hacking?”. This may be an unusual way to start a career coaching conversation in most workplaces, but it’s an important question to ask employees from non-technical fields–and women in particular.

Dear ReWorker, Recently, my colleague and I carefully documented and reported acts of long-term bullying by two of our coworkers.

Challenges with employee engagement and employee turnover are familiar to most companies at different points in their growth. In 2016, Prometheus Real Estate Group found themselves in that very position. The real estate and property management company faced a skills gap, both externally and internally. Existing employees lacked the soft skills necessary to advance in the organization—and often left the company as a result—and qualified candidates were few and far between.
