If you’re leading a growing company, you already know the challenge: there’s always more to hire than time or budget allows. The question isn’t if you should prioritize, but where to focus first.

When employees are actively engaged, they become champions of your company culture and collaborate actively across departments in innovative ways. But employee engagement isn’t a binary; it’s a spectrum. Employees can be actively engaged with their work and your organization. Or they might not be engaged at all, meaning they’re still getting their work done, but they won’t go out of their way to innovate or take on additional tasks.

In today’s complex healthcare environment, navigating third-party relationships has become even more challenging—whether it’s vendor relationships, employee activities, or patient-facing interactions. Left unmanaged, these conflicts can compromise trust, regulatory compliance, and even organizational reputation. So, how can healthcare teams stay ahead?

Employee recognition isn’t just a feel-good gesture but a necessary tool for improving engagement and productivity, reducing turnover, and strengthening team culture.

AI usage is quickly becoming an essential part of any workspace, but is it fair for organizations to enforce its use?

The tech giant has been on the warpath against its employees this year, tightening the bolts on employee reviews as far as they can go.

What was the last significant transformation effort that your organization implemented? How did the process go for you and your colleagues? If your experience is similar to that of the majority of companies, it may not have been as successful as hoped. It’s estimated that between 60% and 70% of large-scale change efforts fail. While there are often several factors that impact the outcomes of these initiatives, one of the essential components is management.

Every organization experiences turnover. As much as you might want to keep top performers, train leaders up from within, and build better teams, people will eventually leave. But there are two key differences between regrettable turnover and other types of turnover: who leaves and whether you can do anything about it. With regrettable turnover, you lose a top performer because of something firmly within your control.
Tech giants have embraced and circulated their AI tools at an unprecedented rate, but there has been little thought with regard to the long-term implications of these tools and how relevant they will be in the long run. A new report from Gartner made some predictions with regard to agentic AI, suggesting that 40% of them may be scrapped by 2027. Major investments have been made to build AI tools in-house or borrow adjacent tech from other businesses, but in many cases, these tools are limited in

Ending The Recruiting Process Early Is A Costly Mistake Before the recruiting process even begins, everyone involved needs to realize that this process shouldn’t end when the new hire starts their new job. Instead, the recruiting process needs to be extended for at least a month.

LW, I’d seriously consider having a discussion with your other “Directors” about this. Someone (maybe HR, maybe an executive) has a very loose grasp of how things work and it might be time they get a course correction. A letter signed by all the “directors” informing management/HR that their request isn’t in line with business norms and that the threat of legal action has no basis in law and comes across as uninformed at best and dishonest at worst might shake
