One of the concepts that organizations will want to define in 2021 is what the hybrid workforce means for them. I’ve seen it referred to as when the workforce is more equally balanced between onsite and remote employees. I’ve also seen it defined as when employees have the option to work where it makes the most sense for what they do. And of course, there’s a lot of room in between to create your own version.

Do you believe that COVID-related unemployment benefits are preventing people from rejoining the workforce? This became a hot topic when the April 2021 Jobs Report showed one of the biggest misses on record— meaning the actual number of jobs the American economy was expected to add fell dramatically short of the expectation. Like everything these days, it's been politicized.

The unemployment rate remains elevated at 6.1%, but companies are having trouble finding people to fill jobs. This unusual dynamic was underscored by the release of the April labor statistics, which found that 266,000 jobs were created that month, far short of the roughly 1 million new jobs that estimates had predicted. Some analysts blamed an economic recovery that isn’t as strong as it seems, but others have pointed to powerful forces such as ongoing health fears and robust unemployment insura

“You are going to have to learn to turn the other cheek.” When it comes to the peaceful political discourse you are going to have to let people sometimes go off on you, get their anger out, and sometimes let it go. To truly create change you can’t snap, you can’t demean another opinion no matter how nonsensical it may seem, because in the end the only way to aid in conversation is to take a beating, and show people you love them no matter what.

Coffee, pen and notes write reshuffle. Is there a big department reshuffle on the horizon?

Trust me on this one when I say: You may be feeling chill (or resigned) about the latest company reorg, but the employees who report to you most decidedly are not.

Benefits have always been a vital company strategy. But in the age of COVID-19 —when health and safety were the biggest priorities, employees struggled with caregiving responsibilities, mental health issues rose and so much more—the importance of benefits has reached new heights. Smart employers and HR leaders turned to benefits as one of their biggest COVID-19 strategies to help struggling employees—a focus that will only continue during the pandemic and beyond.

The poster asked about an employee who had just changed religions, was now a Muslim, and wanted to wear “Muslim clothes.” This violated the company’s dress code, she said. Was she required to accommodate the request? Forum members, theoretically HR professionals, condemned her immediately as bigoted, called the question a no-brainer, and insisted that of course, she had to accommodate the employee.

Employee recognition can be a powerful force for good in any workplace. At its most effective, employee recognition leads to increased engagement, productivity, morale, sense of purpose, and retention. But without a recognition framework or system in place, it can be tricky to craft meaningful and consistent appreciation. Ultimately, you’ll want to create a program that addresses your organization’s needs while tailoring your recognition to each individual you’re celebrating.
