Empathy: It’s absolutely essential to fostering positive relationships – inside and outside of the workplace. Understanding the reasons why employees are dissatisfied or disengaged is key to creating a productive and motivated workforce and retaining top talent.

Transparency is a corporate value to strive for, but not all companies are ready to be completely transparent about pay. While some employers feel the benefits of open salary policies outweigh the risks, others are understandably concerned about the potential challenges they can create.

I’m going to stop fighting. For years I’ve been fighting morons who claim that Millennials would rather do ‘meaningful work’ than making money. That is actually one big lie, I believe perpetuated by employers who don’t want to pay market wages! (Conspiracy Theory Alert!!!) Actually, it showed up on a bunch of studies that were poorly worded and confusing.

I’d like to believe that most businesses understand the advantages of having a diverse workplace. Organizations that have diversity realize new ideas and find different ways to solve problems.

Tech companies have recently come under scrutiny for a lack of diversity in their recruiting processes. According to a recent report from Recode , women hold just 30 percent of leadership roles and less than 27 percent of technical roles—an average based on data from Google, Facebook, Twitter and other top tech companies. As human resources departments work to address this hiring bias—often due to unconscious bias —artificial intelligence recruiting tools seem like a perfect solution.

Memos used to be the reigning champions when it came to workplace communications, but today, they have become much less common. Many companies are going paperless, and even those that aren’t tend to use digital tools that lead to fewer memos in the workplace overall. So, the big question is: are memos still relevant, as newer tools start to take over?

Is your workforce recognized at an acceptable rate? According to Gallup’s analysis, probably not. In a recent survey, they found that only 1 out of 3 U.S. workers feel they received adequate recognition in the past seven days. Even worse, employees that aren’t recognized at a satisfactory level are twice as likely to leave their job compared to those that are.

As painful as it is to admit, summer is quickly coming to a close. Kids are gearing up to go back to school (and some may be back already). I’m about to trade in my iced coffees for pumpkin spiced lattes. And for many of us, work is about to kick into high gear come September. While the seasonal transition can be exciting if you’ve taken time away from work to recharge and refresh, you should also reflect on how your company handles vacations and time off.

It’s relatively easy to manage the charismatic, sociable employee who gets along with her co-workers and clients.

Many employers might consider cutting their losses and bringing in a less neurotic worker, but it’s important to not judge a book by its cover.

But, every team will, at some point, have a team member who has fallen off the track, and who is under-performing. Here, the immediate priority is not going from good to great, but simply getting the employee back to an acceptable level of performance.

However, instead of confronting them, other employees do little to address them directly. According to over a thousand full-time employees across the U.S., over half (53%) say they handle toxic employees by ignoring them, with less than a quarter (24%) confronting these individuals directly.
