A few years ago, I wrote a post titled “ Happy Employees are not Engaged Employees.” It remains a very popular post. I received a note about it the other day. I would say employees with a sense of purpose are most productive. Is this the same as engagement (therefore the employee is motivated)? It’s a great question that really made me think. So I wanted to see if I could logically work through this.

We sat down with Tom McMullen, senior client partner and North America rewards expertise leader at Korn Ferry Hay Group. When was the last time you looked at a breakdown of your total rewards spend? Are you getting the return—in engagement, motivation, retention—that you’re striving for? Many HR professionals are asking themselves the same questions, wondering whether traditional reward strategies like the annual 3% pay bump really makes any difference.

Creating your first relocation policy can feel like being dropped in the middle of a desert with a bag of random tools and no map. You may have a bucket of anecdotes about relocations and some vague idea of what should go into a policy, but making use of those tools and navigating your way out of the sand is whole other thing.

When hiring, you not only want to find the most skilled and hardworking candidates around, you also want to find ones who are truly interested in the open position and the company. Having the right skills is important, but if a candidate doesn’t align with the company’s values and culture, it won’t be long before you’re looking for a replacement employee.

Apple recently released statistics showing that the company has made slight – albeit real – progress towards diversifying its workforce. Intel followed suit. While this level of transparency (and progress!) should certainly be applauded, it mirrors a larger trend within the technology industry: to center the conversation on diversity largely around pipeline rather than inclusion.

I’m not a big fan of over-generalizing the characteristics of the different generations in the workforce. It’s just too easy to say “Millennials are entitled;” “Baby Boomers aren’t good with social media;” or “Gen Xers are lazy.” Too easy, and not at all true. Any of it. So I read with some interest the results of a survey about the work habits of the generations that Paychex recently published.

When you think about big companies going down over the last couple of decades, it's really about corporations thinking their positions are insurmountable and being slow to try to develop new technologies and approaches that would replace the cash cow they found themselves with. For example: --Internet Explorer got overtaken by Chrome. --Blockbuster got overtaken by Netflix, and at the retail level even by RedBox. --.

I gasped out loud when I received this letter, and so will you. A reader writes: An employee, “Sally,” started at our workplace about a year and a half ago. She’s not my subordinate, but is the subordinate to a peer of mine, and works frequently with my subordinates. A few months later she got a new boyfriend, “Peter.” (I found out about this through normal water cooler-type conversation.).

ACA Times

Employers have lost a significant margin of error when it comes to ACA information reporting in 2016. As previously discussed, as the good faith standard for incomplete or inaccurate reporting no longer applies for 2016 reporting, the need for compliance is more vital now than before. Forms 1094/1095 B and C are being taken very seriously, and last year as the first time mandatory reporting was required under the Affordable Care Act , the IRS provided a certain amount of leeway to employers who

Depending on where you are in the world, parental leave benefits can either be thorough and accommodating or almost non-existent. For example, in Norway mothers are allotted up to 35 weeks of full pay or 45 weeks of 80 percent pay and fathers may take up to 10 weeks of parental leave. In the US, because such policies are not mandatory parental leave laws are not as widespread; and compensation during time away from work is ultimately decided by the respective company.

It’s about time someone demystified and explained the differences between recognition and reward. Recognition and reward are two completely different things and are used for different purposes. Some people and their organizations tend to see the two as being one and the same. I’ve seen way too many managers and employees not understanding either the subtle, or even the more obvious, differences between rewards and recognition.

We often refer to the midday work break as the “lunch hour,” but our recent survey of 500 American workers shows not many people are taking advantage of that full hour anymore. So what has the workday lunch in America become? Our data uncovered some surprising trends, habits, and economics. Industries with the longest lunch breaks include media and communications, insurance, and legal services, all averaging over 50 minutes per day.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise.

Sometimes you even have to fire people. Firing people is really, really, really hard. Knowing if you should fire someone can sometimes be even harder–even though the signs should be obvious.
