A couple years ago, as my wife and I were returning home from an employee engagement conference where I had spoken, she said something to me that I didn’t fully understand at the time. I remember it sounding something like this. “The content here was good, but it was all focused on the happy, positive side of being human at work. Where’s the conversation about all of the hard, painful stuff that humans bring with them to work?

One of the first things great leaders know is that they should set goals with the employees, not for the employees. In a dynamic and ever-challenging work market, successful managers and entrepreneurs turn their employees’ professional goals and objectives into motivators, not burdens. Why is it Important to Help People set their Goals? The process of involving the employees in the goal-setting process empowers them, instills responsibility and accountability, gives them freedom, and keeps them

We spend an average of 90,000 hours of our lives at work. But according to psychologist, bestselling author and host of the WorkLife podcast Adam Grant, too many of those hours are unhappy ones. From managers who don't provide feedback in a productive way to the growing fears around robots taking our jobs, there are many reasons why we find ourselves feeling frustrated 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.

By Katherine Konrad, an experienced marketing professional and recent Celarity contractor . Putting your name in more hats increases your chances of being picked, right? I’m actually really asking because I was never that great at Statistics. I may have taken that class two times in college. Maybe more. But who’s counting? Not me. Though I wasn’t as confident on Statistics test questions, I’m certain the answer to this one is: it depends.

In a labor market that’s become more complex, employers could have as many as six or seven classifications of workers onboard at any given time. Working alongside full-time, part-time and temporary workers are seasonal and contingent workers.

A few weeks ago, I asked the question “ Which comes first: Leadership or culture? ” Honestly, I must admit that I agree with the person who wrote me on LinkedIn to say this is the ultimate chicken or egg question. But you guys said in a 4 to 1 margin that leadership comes first. It totally makes sense. It also means that organizations need to understand how this dynamic impacts them.

For a growing or small business, finding and retaining quality employees goes beyond compensation. Employers are able to offer benefits that employees can't access on their own, and so benefits provide value for employees at a relatively low cost to companies. The benefits package your company offers is often a deciding factor for candidates. When to Offer Employee Benefits Corporations and better-funded companies may seem to have access to the best benefits.

When companies are asked about their diversity and inclusion (D&I) strategy, they often defer to their chief diversity officer, or a similar title. But as a D&I practitioner, I would argue D&I is everyone’s responsibility.

Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

In my last blog , I talked about how culture is no longer an HR thing, it is a business thing. This means that every owner, executive, and manager needs to make culture a priority and make decisions that support the desired culture. But this is not to say that HR doesn’t play a critical role in culture. HR owns many of the mechanisms that influence the employee experience, and is an important part of facilitating the company culture.
