One-on-one meetings between managers and employees have always existed. However, they are getting much more attention lately. I believe a big contributor is the focus on continuous performance management. Which makes sense. Why not use regular communication as a way to strengthen performance. Organizations need to remember that the one-on-one meeting becomes successful when managers and employees have a good meeting.

Sweaty palms. Hot cheeks. That overwhelming feeling of awkwardness. If you’re anything like me, networking with a roomful of strangers might give you the impulse to run and hide rather than get out and socialize. However, after speaking with several experts about networking, I’m convinced: networking as an introvert (and doing so successfully) is actually easier than you’d think.

Organizations are focused on retention. And that’s a good thing. Obviously, turnover is expensive – both in terms of cost and knowledge loss. However, it’s unrealistic to think that turnover won’t exist. So, organizations need to think about what amount of turnover is going to be acceptable. Employees are going to stay for a few years and then move on.

In his TED Talk viewed over 17 million times, Daniel Pink gained fame when he said, “There’s a gap between what science knows and what business does.”. As someone who transitioned from the medical field into the business world, this connection rings true, with business often forgetting about the data uncovered from science, and the potential applications lost in most business practices.

There are a finite number of hours in the day, no matter how we may wish otherwise. The same cannot be said, however, of demands on our time. How often do employees find themselves with seemingly more to do than a workday can hold? When obligations stretch capacity, employees’ first response is often to chain themselves to their desks (or devices) trying to power through and increase productivity.

The purpose of collecting data is to take some action using the data. And, taking action is often one of the most challenging steps in any type of data collection process. Obviously, it doesn’t make sense to collect data and not do anything with it. Taking action is implied. The data might help us make a decision, notice a trend, or monitor our effectiveness.

To kick off Cornerstone's 15th annual Convergence conference, our CEO Adam Miller pulled up his Netflix account. At first, his recommendations bar seemed like an example of machine learning gone wrong: Sons of Anarchy next to Liv and Maddie ? But as Miller explained, it was a perfect example of how modern media is personalized for consumers (in his case, for parents with three young kids)—and inspiration for how modern learning could be personalized for employees, too.

When you think of a bad manager, what comes to mind? Is it someone who berates employees in front of other coworkers? Someone who makes his or her team stay late or come in early everyday for no reason? Are they too “into the weeds” of employees’ work? It’s usually pretty easy for anyone in a company to identify those kind of bad managers even if they don’t’ report directly to them.

Employee engagement used to be viewed as “fluff,” however, is no longer the case. As Patrick Lencioni observed in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable, “Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.”. Deloitte has found that CEOs and senior leaders from more than 3,300 businesses across 106 countries agree, identifying “culture & engagement” as the #1 topic on their minds i

Organisations that fail to embrace customer experience with HR processes such as hiring, training, rewards, and recognition, miss the opportunity promote an environment that facilitates employee customer experience success.

If you were asked about your top priorities as a manager, how would you answer? Increasing productivity would probably be first on your list, along with steady company growth, low employee turnover, seamless teamwork, and high employee engagement — after all, most businesses share similar goals.

Gallup polls show that Millennials, which are quickly making up the largest portion of the workforce, switch jobs more than any other age group. 60% are open to new opportunities, and engagement levels are overall low.

Emotions are an innate part of the human experience. Just because you step foot into an office or a meeting doesn’t mean you automatically let go of the emotions you carry with you outside of work.
