Most Americans wake up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, pack lunches, drop off the kids, drive to work, work, eat lunch, work some more, drive home and pick up the kids every day. The rat-race, Groundhog Day, déjà vu…. whatever you call it — it can be a drag. And if the employee is dragging, his/her work most likely is too. In this modern day and age, telecommuting is becoming a major benefit to employees and employers.

Worldwide, only 13% of employees are engaged at work, according to Gallup’s 142-country study on the State of the Global Workforce.

It seems as though the same negative terms are frequently used to describe Millennials: dependent, self-centered, unfocused. This perspective is not only detrimental to businesses whose workforces will soon be occupied by more than 50% of these future leaders, but it’s also untrue. Millennials are eager, driven and inspired to achieve goals – provided that their workplaces are motivating them with a fresh engagement strategy.

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.

b' There are a handful of truths when it comes to survey data. The higher the employee is in the organizational hierarchy, the more favorable they tend to be in their responses. Survey results in Japan are almost always less favorable than those in India. And short service employees, those very new to your organization, are the most engaged and most favorable on nearly all survey questions.

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.

Fraud has nothing to do with need, greed or trust. It has to do with opportunity. And small businesses are disproportionately victimized, according to a recent report by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Most fraudsters are first-time offenders and typically have worked for a company for years before they steal. The reasons small businesses are at more risk may be a lack of fraud-prevention resources or a lack of oversight.
