A few weeks ago, I published an article about the four different strategies organizations can use when hiring talent – buy, build, borrow, and bots. I’ve been thinking about the article and the implications for HR go beyond just hiring. We have to learn how to design jobs differently. I believe that human resources is the architect of work. They help the organization design good jobs.

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.

Before you say, Who me? I don’t have any leadership power, hear me out. Dictionary.com defines power as “a person or thing that possesses or exercises authority or influence”. In essence, when we use leadership power, we’re utilizing our authority to get something. That means everyone has power. And having power isn’t a bad thing. The issue becomes what kind of leadership power a person has and how someone uses that power.

I’m always looking for ways to work smart and be more productive. I try to develop my own personal tips (some people might call them “hacks”) to help. For example, years ago, I worked with someone who kept their papers organized in Pendaflex accordion folders. One set of Pendaflex folders was organized by month. So, if I have something that I wanted to remember in a couple of months, I can tuck it away in that month’s slot.
