This article was originally published under Jeff Miller’s column “The Science of Workplace Motivation” on Inc.com. During one of my first corporate learning roles, a senior executive at our company approached me about the most talented developer in the organization. The employee in question was in line for a promotion that required managing a large team , and the executive asked if I could put together a management training to help him get to the next level.

I heard a speaker recently mention Type I and Type II failures. The way they described it was, a Type I failure is an irreversible failure and a Type II failure is reversible. One might say that Kodak is a case study in Type I failure. A recent article in Harvard Business Review summed up the story pretty well. A generation ago, a ‘Kodak moment’ was something worth cherishing.

Does HR drive more effectiveness and organizational performance by improving traditional HR value propositions, such as compliance and services, or by improving decisions? Beyond HR , which was published ten years ago, advocated a “decision science” to advance HR, talent management, work, and organization design. A notable analogy in the book is based on Finance’s history of three fundamental value propositions: Control: Adding value by ensuring compliance with rules, laws, and guidelines.

Unlimited vacation is still as popular as ever. Organizations are revamping their policies for a variety of reasons including increasing work/life balance and reducing administration. But I know that some organizations are apprehensive to make the transition because they’re concerned employees will abuse the time off and employee performance and company productivity will take a nose dive.

I’ve been hearing a lot of organizations talk about the scavenger hunt lately. Personally, I like scavenger hunts because they can educate while having fun. And with a vast majority of employees having cellphones, you can easily create digital scavenger hunts. Scavenger hunts are a great option for orientation and onboarding. Instead of showing new hires a bunch of internet pages in a classroom, let them do the searching.

Ready or not, we are now in what we call the age of ‘the people’. Fueled by consumers and their ability to promote or criticise a product or service, the rise in social platforms has created the rise of the “louder voice” and customers now hold some degree of power over organisations. This means they gain priority over other stakeholders, after all, performance and targets are attained by keeping these customers happy.

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.

It all starts with strategic context.

Your people plan must serve the overall strategy of the organization.

Employees don’t just work 40 hours a week because they want to. They come into work day after day for a mix of reasons, likely including a passion for what they do and to make the money they need to live their lives. When either of those is stagnant, however—I.E. you haven’t been able to give raises this year or employees are burnt out on a challenging project—there’s one other thing that keeps them coming back: their work friendships.
