According to the December 2017 jobs report, U.S. unemployment is at 4.1 percent , a 17-year low. Obviously, this is good news. We want everyone who wants a job to have a job. However, it’s also a challenge. Really low unemployment means that recruiting is tougher. A lot tougher! It can take much longer to find qualified candidates and fill open positions.

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. My team is flipping out and thinks a colleague didn’t deserve to attend a thank-you lunch. My workplace holds an annual conference/event for all of the employees (250+ people). There is a committee in charge of planning and all the logistics. A few people who were on the committee had retired or left for jobs at other places, and the committee was a bit short-staffed.

Q: I work in a medical clinic. A supporting staff member is supposed to work alongside any physician in a room with a sedated female patient, but we’re short-staffed and so this doesn’t always happen. Twice in the last year, I entered a room in which one of our physicians appeared to be acting inappropriately. It happened again this morning.

I work in an industry where I’ve been told for a decade technology is going to take my job. The staffing industry is a half a trillion dollar industry worldwide. The entire industry is built on us banking on the fact that someone in corporate TA is going to be lazy. Ouch! That should sting a little! So, I don’t really bank on you being lazy at my company.

Recently I caught a story on Yahoo Finance about the analysis of more than six billion nights of sleep data released from FitBit. We all think about sleep in almost abstract terms–I sleep or I don’t, I’m sleepy or I’m not, etc. But this has a real, tangible effect on how we operate as humans and how we perform at work, at home, and elsewhere.

Performance management is the responsibility of your human resources or people team. This sounds like a no-brainer. But what if I told you we disagree? Here’s the situation: traditional performance management is broken, and most organizations know this. That’s why 81 percent of companies are updating the way they manage performance. Fixing this problem takes more than new technology; it requires a change in the way your entire company views performance.

A couple months ago, I wrote an article about how to properly resign from your job. Shortly after, I received a note from an employer about a challenge they’re facing, and it reminded me that organizations need to know what to do when an employee resigns too. Here’s the reader note: As an employer, I had an employee who was working on an important project that didn’t even resign, they just left and never responded.

According to a Gallup poll , around 85% of employees class themselves as either ‘not engaged’ or ‘actively disengaged’ at work. No wonder employee engagement is a perennial issue. But what does a ‘disengaged’ employee look like? Disengagement can take many forms but some of the most common are: doing just enough to get by (if that), not recommending their employer to others, complaining to teammates and avoiding their manager, and making excuses for their mistakes.

The Internal Revenue Service announced in 2014 that effective immediately, “Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) will expire if not used on a federal income tax return for five consecutive years.”. This announcement generated some confusion. People wondered if it means that an individual's Social Security Number (SSN) or a business's Employer Identification Number (EIN) will expire if it is never used.

Being a consultant or freelancer really wasn’t cool back when I became one. If you went to a professional association meeting and said you were a consultant, people immediately made the incorrect assumption that you were going to start a sales pitch. Sadly, it may have been because it happened all too often. Thankfully, today’s consulting world is different.

In many businesses, employees are paid wages or a salary, and that compensation is subject to income tax withholding and employer taxes. But sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, and the members of a limited liability company are not paid wages because they are considered to be self-employed. So how do such individuals take money out of the business?

Even if you have a job that offers plenty of satisfaction in terms of both rewards and engagement, there can still be times when things go wrong and you find yourself having negative thoughts about your workplace, your colleagues, even your own suitability for the role itself. These types of thoughts are only natural responses to difficult situations, but they can lead to real problems with stress, which affects not only your own health but also the company’s bottom line and the national economy

The typical new hire process. Most of us are familiar with a typical new hire experience: We spend our first day or two filling out paperwork, getting acclimated to the company, meeting co-workers, undergoing training and taking care of organizational odds and ends that set us up to do our job. Often it’s a loose process– two thirds of companies have no formal onboarding program.

With a high rate of failure, even your rapidly growing company could be at risk.
