Bacon and eggs. Peanut butter and jelly. Chocolate and peanut butter. Learning and performance? Some things are just better together! Certainly you have heard of the trends going on in performance management; specifically the move towards doing away with ratings and focusing in on how best to truly develop employees. Some companies, like Amazon, T-Mobile and Deloitte, are foregoing the ratings part of performance reviews all together.

One of the things I love about my health insurance company is that they offer webinars and workshops to both members and the community. I’ve been able to get the latest info from a doctor about the Zika virus. They also hold nutrition workshops. Recently, I attended a Deskercise workshop (aka activities we can do at our desk). Because I work from home, I’m very conscious of the need to get active.

Those searching for how to improve employees’ performance often wonder if they are giving the right commands, or dolling orders in the best way. Often, though, the most effective way to improve the performance of your employees isn’t to give commands at all, but rather to ask the right questions and listen to draw the right action plan. Ron Ashkenas, a former business consultant and a contributor at Forbes says that “asking questions effectively is a major underlying part of a manager’s job — wh

Now that the dust has settled that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is here to stay and the 2016 ACA reporting deadline is just behind us, employers may be thinking that they are already too late to complete their reporting. Think again. It is still better late than never. As background, the ACA requires that businesses with 50 or more employees must offer healthcare coverage to at least 95% of their full time employees or face potential penalties of around $2,000 per employe

Not so long ago, you could see every person you worked with from your desk. If you had a question for someone, you just had to walk a few cubicles down to ask. You knew all of your colleagues by their facial features, not by their email address. Workplace collaboration is significantly different now. In fact, a 2016 survey by RW 3 CultureWizard found that around the world, 85 percent of employees have worked on a virtual team.

In the 1995 movie, The Net, Sandra Bullock portrayed a computer programmer who uses her skills to thwart a cyberterrorist attack. More than fifteen years later, in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara depicted the computer hacker, Lisbeth Salander, with a fringe specialty in deciphering old data and information. Between those two poles and in the years following them, however, women have appeared in few noteworthy roles as coding specialists.

Whether you like it or not, traditional job titles are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Employees no longer feel the need to attach themselves to a common job title. Historically, we’ve seen the first class of slashies in jobs in which people identify their work with their hobbies. Think about your local barista who is an avid painter on the side (Barista/Painter) or even the waiter at your favorite restaurant who also moonlights as a writer (Waiter/Writer).

People lie. It’s an ugly fact of life. Lying in the workplace can be detrimental to morale among other things. Often times people lie in ways that make it difficult for others to recognize. We get a “gut” feeling, but that is just that… a feeling and not evidence. This week on #WorkTrends host Meghan M.

A couple of weeks ago, I published a question from someone asking what niche job boards are. My answer: They’re really just industry-specific job boards. If you have a professional association for your field (e.g., the Public Relations Society of America if you’re in PR, the National Society of Professional Engineers if you’re an engineer, and so forth), they likely have a job board.
