There’s an interesting dynamic in today’s workforce. It’s the proliferation of the gig economy , which is an environment where temporary positions (such as freelancers, contractors, and consultants) are common.

A reader writes: I’m a new manager who heads up a team of 12 employees, and I’m having an issue with the other groups that we work with. My problem is that the other groups have developed a nasty habit of not including my team on work to be performed, then dropping it on us demanding it be done “ASAP.” I don’t mind the occasional unexpected item coming up — it does happen, and that can usually be workable — but I’ve found a couple of recurring themes: Either the rep

Most recruiting done today is inbound recruiting. This is organizations posting jobs everywhere, people seeing these jobs and then applying. These candidates are coming ‘inbound’ to you in some form or fashion – into your ATS, into your email, showing up at your front door, whatever it takes for them to find you. Outbound, then, is the opposite.

Working in the finance industry can be one of the most interesting jobs but it can also become a bit stale after a while, depending on whether or not an employee has the drive and ambition to become a top performer. The key question here is, what motivates each employee to excel in whatever his or her position is and is there anything you can do, as the boss or team leader, to motivate them?

By Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – Less pure output and more holistic wellbeing, productivity is driven by the employee experience and technologies that can give leaders greater insight. Last week, I wrote about worker productivity from the perspective of economists and the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

With online courses, podcasts and new tech tools giving employees more ownership over their professional development, what role should HR now play in learning & development?

There is no more one size fits all solution to L&D.

I'm Gen X, so almost no one I manage these days is older than me. But as a driven, achievement oriented 30-year old, I started managing lots of people who were older than me for the next decade. As a result, I learned a lot about how to p**s the old folks off. I'd like to think I adapted pretty quickly. Gather around the monitor, young ones, because I'm about ready to drop some knowledge.

If there is a lesson to be learned from the Olympics, that lesson is that a key motivator for high performance is recognition. I came to this realization from a unique perspective; not only do I work for the best company in the Recognition industry but I have also been married for 28 years to a two-time Olympian.

There’s a lot written about building Personal Brands. A lot of the discussion about Personal Branding has to do with leveraging Social Channels in building huge networks of followers. While it might be ego gratifying to have a large and wide network and to be well known, I think a lot of the thinking around building your personal brand is misdirected.

If you are getting ready to go off to college, or you are sending a child off to college, you might be concerned about a major. Majors are important, of course. I mean, I majored in political science and look where it got me. I asked some small business owners what they majored in and how that influenced their lives. And you’ll never guess what the Art History Major does now. <—Clickbait sentence!

As established organizations fight to maintain market share, or developing organizations fight to take their fair share, both have a common competitive advantage – their people. The days of having great technology as the brand of an organization are rapidly disappearing. Today’s successful companies focus on their people, making sure they are engaged on the right activities, laser focused on delivering top customer support, and are out-innovating the competition.
