While there are always different people of different generations working side by side in the workplace, today there are as many as six different generations, depending on which demographic definitions one uses. The workforce is aging on one end of the spectrum and getting younger on the other. In the middle there is a gap, with the prime age workforce shrinking as an overall percentage of the workforce.

Here are my top 5 issues for HR professionals that will impact your job for the rest of 2016. The election. I’ve been telling you for years that HR sits at the intersection of work, power, politics and money. This election is an HR election. Watch accordingly. HDHPs.

In recent years, employers have enjoyed a comfortable status quo in which they’ve held the upper hand over anxious job seekers. But recent research says the balance of power may be shifting. .

We may be a little biased in this claim, but onboarding is important. Running a business and managing people come with a lot of responsibilities and the stress of ensuring all the pieces align at the end of the week is overwhelming. Of course, with all that to worry about, some pieces of the process are lost in the shuffle. That might be why approximately 35% of companies spend zero dollars on onboarding.

When it comes to talent management, there’s a paradox that continues to confound HR leaders. For a long time, HR departments have been called on to become more strategic—less fixated on matters that only concern HR, and more focused on matters that concern the entire business. At the same time, talent management—a bedrock component of the HR function—is by definition a strategic pursuit.

I recently wrote a post about one aspect of the performance review process that employees like – getting merit increases. Many organizations link performance reviews with pay increases so even if the performance review is boring, at the end, there’s a conversation about compensation. This certainly isn’t ideal but in some organizations, it’s reality.

I just wanted to say “thank you” for the last few years. I have enjoyed my work and appreciate the opportunity to contribute. As of today I am turning in my two week notice… Like you probably have, I have had multiple versions of that conversation with managers over the years. Sometimes it’s painful, and other times it’s a relief to put in your notice to depart.

Taking into account the more individualistic expectations of Generation Y and Z means that HR will have to play a role of coordinator in order to respond to their needs while maintaining the collective value of their organisation. How are HR going to evolve in the coming years? It’s a question that can be easily asked given that organisations now have to manage multiple generations with divergent values and expectations under the same roof.

Have you ever asked past employees you’ve managed what they REALLY thought about you back in the day ? I decided to reach out and ask some of my past direct reports what they thought about my management practices. A little bit scary, but I did it because I’ve been reflecting A LOT on my career as a manager/leader. I’ve been managing employees in different capacities for over 17 years with teams as small as one employee and as large as twenty-one.

During this year’s WorkHuman Conference hosted by Globoforce , keynote speaker Shawn Achor made the comment that employees never get tired of praise. At first, I totally agreed. Especially when you hear statistics like the ones from the WorkHuman Research Institute that found 21 percent of respondents have never been recognized at work and 33 percent haven’t been recognized in 6 months.

Change is rarely easy, especially when a habit has been formed. Just think about how difficult, stressful, and even annoying it can be when someone asks to change your morning routine or you are forced to change it. That is just one person. So imagine the challenges of trying to implement a change management process in an organization, where all people have different responses to change and ways of coping with it.

There is something truly special about being able to fly – the freedom, the control, the chance to see a perspective that few get to experience. I appreciate this position, but it commands respect. Occasionally, I kill the plane’s power – it isn’t as dramatic as you might think – I’m practicing whats called a glide approach so that if the engine were to fail, I’d have the skills, technique and, composure to make the right data-driven decisions at the rig

By Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – New mindsets that emphasize and recognize effectiveness over effort are needed to replace increasing bureaucracy. Organizations are becoming flatter and more flexible, at least according to conventional wisdom. But in a recent article in Harvard Business Review , Gary Hamel points to data that suggests exactly the opposite: bureaucracy is growing rather than shrinking.
