I started my job as a writer and speaker in 2007. I began traveling around the country and telling people how much I hated HR and recruiting. It wasn’t a super sophisticated message, but I just wanted my fellow colleagues to know that they could do better. Like, don’t you want more for yourself? And, during the past ten years, there’s been a sea change in the way HR-related professionals talk about themselves and their dreams.

You have a great interview, receive an offer, and accept it in a heartbeat.

Unlimited vacation. Free gym memberships. Nap pods. Such "perks" are increasingly commonplace—viewed as a smart engagement tool and a key strategy in driving workplace culture. But when it comes to improving work-life balance and helping employees feel rested and productive, is a nap pod really the answer? Perhaps not, according to some experts. “Many of these perks keep people at the workplace whether they're being productive or not," Lotte Bailyn, professor emeritus at the MIT's Sloan School o

We have all heard of the customer experience which is defined as the resulting product when a customer interacts with your brand. We’re all familiar with both good and bad customer experiences and we go through one or the other on a near daily basis. The employee experience has become increasingly important in HR management because of evolving business trends such as peer-to-peer sharing, high turnover rates and competitive recruiting practices.

I’m beginning to see a shift in the conversation about Millennials. Instead of talking about generations from the standpoint of attitude or behaviors, the dialogue has moved to one of mindset. Frankly, it’s about time. I’ll use Boomers as an example, since I am one. Well, I’m Generation Jones , but no one talks about that distinction. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.

During the annual performance appraisal , self evaluation forms a crucial part, because it coomunicates to the manager or the supervisor how well an employee perceives their performance within the organisation. While the objective of self evaluation is to ensure that the employee and the management are on the same page, a lot of employees view this as a scope to blow their own trumpet and go overboard at times.

There are times when the customer is absolutely right. The company messed up big time and they need to take responsibility for their mistake. Organizations have a huge opportunity to win a raving fan, instead of gaslighting the customer into thinking it was their own fault or simply apologizing with accepting responsibility

A happy workforce is a loyal and productive workforce. Boredom, frustration, overwork, underpay, can all leave a high-potential employee looking at his phone up to 150 times a day, or worse – looking at job ads. Many employees will lack the confidence to speak up about their situation, so from a distance it can seem like everything’s okay. But maintaining the status quo is often not enough.

Yet when we look at the representation of females in the C-suite, whether in HR or in general, the blend is more evenly mixed or even weighted towards men. Why? The 2016 HR Technology Conference had a new feature: the Women in HR Tech Summit. The event was a success by all measures, but one person heard about the summit and started to wonder, what do female executives in HR technology do differently?
