You’ve likely seen the headlines: “Seven out of eight employees are disengaged and unlikely to be making positive contributions to the workplace.” Picking up a business magazine, sorting through social media posts, or attending Human Resources conferences, one can’t help but leave feeling discouraged or hopeless by statistics like these. If 88% of my workforce is disengaged and not doing me any good, why not sack the seven and get the work done by the one at a much lower cost? MORE

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. My boss told me no one was getting raises this year — but it was a lie. I work in the Human Resources division for a large organization.

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.
