Managers will go to great lengths to avoid the dreaded “termination conversation.” And when the confrontation finally happens, they often screw it up. Here are some suggestions to solve both problems. First, a few of the more common rationalizations supervisors use to avoid dropping the axe – and why these avoidance tactics don’t make sense: ‘Maybe they’ll improve’.

So, I wrote this little eBook called, “ Talent Acquisition is Dead: Talent Attraction Takes Root “, just click through to read the entire book. It’s built on the concept that for decades, truly the entire history of hiring employees to work for companies, we’ve only ever worried about acquiring talent. When you think about acquiring something, like assets (“Employee are our most valuable asset!

Massive organizational shifts can be bittersweet for businesses. Employees and managers are often excited about the shift, but also nervous about the uncertainty that lies ahead. Remember the fall of Borders, Kodak film or most recently Radio Shack? All of these businesses failed to migrate through a change in business and instead were forced to close their doors.

I’ve just taken a deep read into LinkedIn’s Global Recruiting Trends 2017 research report. LinkedIn surveyed more than 4,000 talent leaders from around the world to uncover their challenges, thoughts and future plans. However, I just went to LinkedIn’s Talent Connect 2016 in Las Vegas in October and what I heard and learned there was at odds with some of the more important survey findings.

Years ago, I attended a training session where the instructor said that he knew participants we’re “getting it” because they started asking questions. It made sense to me. Whether the questions happen during the actual training or after the session, questions can be an informal gauge of training interest. Of course, that’s not the only training metric or measurement.

Whether we’re looking at improving performance in a sportive or professional context, receiving constructive feedback is precious. Feedback allows people to modify their behaviour to help them attain their goals. For a manager, giving feedback is a way to help employees reach the goals that they have been assigned. It consists in identifying the gap that exist between expectations and objectives.

Deloitte did it, and so did Microsoft and Accenture. They're the vanguards of a growing coterie of organizations choosing to ditch their yearly performance review and ratings in favor of more continuous feedback. The club of performance review ditchers is expanding rapidly. According to a recent international study by insight and technology firm CEB, 21 percent of organizations have either dumped or plan to dump their performance management rating systems and another 28 percent are consideri

Keeping your employees fully engaged during the holiday season, from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day, is challenging. Workloads can get heavier as co-workers take time off. Employees are thinking about friends and family members who are off work for the holidays. Children are out of school, complicating scheduling. Employees must work extra hours in order to meet customer demands.

This is an excerpt from a guest blog written for Greenhouse. Check out the full article on the Greenhouse Blog. A couple months ago I was sitting at a dinner with a few friends who are in senior leadership positions at companies. We were talking about how to gauge employee sentiment, and one friend said, “I learn everything I need to know about my employees through our monthly engagement survey.

The traditional annual performance review has received a serious lift to deliver more added value to HR and align better with today’s business preoccupations. Today, many organisations try to be more agile to adapt quickly in a highly competitive environment.

When we talk about talent strategy, we're talking about a responsibility full of moving parts. HR professionals are tasked with finding talent to match a business' momentum, which means they are constantly scaling programs up and down, looking back while thinking ahead, and keeping a close eye on the culture and morale of an organization. For large companies, the challenge of doing "talent strategy" well is met by a task force of HR pros.

The Seattle area’s two big technology companies are Microsoft and Amazon. In 2013, Microsoft became one of the early major companies to overhaul its performance review process, eliminating stack ranking and adapting its compensation process to put more influence in the hands of managers. Now, Amazon is making changes of its own. We’re launching a new annual review process next year that is radically simplified and focuses on our employees’ strengths, not the absence of weaknesses.

$101 billion. As of 2016, that’s the total amount of fines paid by banks implicated in the mortgage bubble responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. While the federal government did find some areas of law-breaking, regulators also found that many of the actions that led to the housing crisis weren’t necessarily illegal — just violations of banking standards.

One of my very first managers had a little catchphrase she liked to use whenever she assigned out a new tasks. Without fail, she would tell us, “I won’t ask you to do anything I wouldn’t be willing to do myself.”. It was a nice sentiment, but the truth of it was, sometimes she delegated tasks for which she was not qualified. Usually, these had to do with specific machines or computer tasks, but more than a little bit of the time, she was asserting she had the will , when my coworkers and I knew

The days of a career trajectory being described as “climbing the ladder” are gone. Instead, employees are now on a career path. Each path is as different as the people making the journey, from the straight lines of individuals who know what they want to the meandering twists and curves of people who want to explore and experience as much as possible.

“Everything changes and nothing stands still,” according to Heraclitus , a Greek philosopher. Buddhists promote a similar idea with their doctrine of impermanence , which states that all existence is transient, evanescent, and inconstant. Even if you take just a cursory look at the news today, it becomes clear that these concepts of change and impermanence could never be more relevant.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. 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. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

As the number of companies that offer telecommuting options rises, the need for a traditional office setting is shrinking. Workers are increasingly turning to their own kitchen tables and home offices as their workspaces of choice. But what does this mean for managers that work remotely as well? Without a traditional office setting, it may seem even more difficult to engage employees and keep projects on track.

It’s been a crazy couple months here in the US. We’ve seen more disruption than most of us planned for from our presidential election, regardless of who we voted for (or didn’t vote for). Let’s be honest, there is quite an uproar about all the negative disruption we’re now facing. However, it reminds me that while some disruption can be bad, there can also be disruption for good.

These aren’t trivial questions in terms of investment – in business and in people.

At one point, my advice for HR pros who were wondering about the ethics and legal exposure of digging around on candidate's social profiles was simple. "Just ask what your CEO wants you to do in order to have the best line of sight on a candidate. She probably expects you to do everything possible to fully vet and get the best candidate possible.".

HR and technology used to be two words you wouldn't necessarily think to hear in the same sentence. We associated HR with manual, laborious, and time-intensive processes that required human effort to power the engine. And frankly, a lot of processes within the HR umbrella were time-intensive and manual. That, however, has changed.
