“Hey, did you hear what happened in the lunch room yesterday? You are not going to believe this.”. We have all been subject to gossip at work. It happens in between meetings, through chat sessions and emails, and is almost impossible to avoid – until you realize how harmful gossip threatens corporate culture, and eventually transforms the workplace into a culture of doubt.

I was recently with family who had several young children. It was fascinating to watch how curious they were about everything. It seems every sentence started with "why" or "how." Even though it drove their parents a bit nutty, I really wish we could hang on to more of our curiosity and a need to learn and understand. Here's a story I did for Gannett/USAToday on why you may want to tap into that inner 5-year-old at work.

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.

Dear A Advisor, I’m a Human Resources specialist and I’ve recently enabled a recognition program within my company. The program has been my project, but I’m looking for ways to ensure effective adoption in my company. Since I’m in the HR department I don’t get a lot of insight into how individual departments utilize the program; I’m afraid that it won’t be used to its full potential.

Ego is a strong emotion and often, success feeds it. As we evolve as professionals and accomplish more, we tend to accumulate beliefs about ourselves (and the world around us). Soon, we start looking at world from the lens of these beliefs and decide what is right or wrong. Unfortunately, our world view is often skewed when it is only seen from the lens of our egos and limited beliefs.

Reputation is EVERYTHING. Society beats this message into our heads every day. For instance, we’re told to protect our reputations on Facebook and not post inappropriate photos, or we’re told to build our reputations on LinkedIn as accomplished professionals. Your reputation speaks volumes about who you are as an employee, family member, partner or friend; therefore, your reputation should be protected and treated as a top priority.

Sometimes there is nothing more irritating than those trite phrases like “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” When you’re having a tough time in life, your first inclination may be to tell those full of such homespun logic to go suck a lemon. Those people don’t have to deal with an ogre boss or a long commute, you think, so they don’t know that it’s difficult to just be so darn positive all the time.

'The employee without skill gaps is somewhat unusual. Sure there are superstars with few, if any, performance issues, but those are few and far between. Performance management should include not only the recognition of the gaps, but a plan to help close them. Achieving desired performance outcomes is at least partially achieved through accurate identification of performance gaps and the application of appropriate training and development to reduce or eliminate the gaps.

Most business owners would likely admit that their top performers deserve higher compensation than those performing at lower levels. In fact, research suggests that for jobs of at least moderate complexity, the difference in productive value between performers at the 85th and 15th percentiles is about 40 percent as a return on salary. Still, it is fairly common to find that the range of merit and bonus pay in companies is more limited than would be expected given the difference in work contribut
