Google is recently caught under fire over allegations of gender pay discrimination. An employee-led probe at the tech giant alleges that female employees are still compensated less than their male counterparts , at most job levels. As a matter of fact, three ex-Google employees have filed a class-action lawsuit for such discrimination. Bridging the gender gap in technology has been one of the main narratives in the call for equality for quite a number of years now.

But in the last 20 years, thanks in large part to technology advancements that now automate these tasks, HR professionals are dedicating their time to business-growing efforts like career pathing , employee engagement and talent retention.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Remember when you were a kid, and your parents dragged you along with them to visit a relative or friend’s house? I use the word “house” loosely because, for a kid, it felt more like a prison. There was no cable TV, no video games, and no other kids to play with—just adults talking about boring adult stuff. Of course, this was before you had a cell phone to pass the time ( kids have it so easy these days ).

Promoting in-house is a smart way to grow your business and invest in your staff towards leadership development. Companies that promote from within often have higher satisfaction ratings from employees and there’s nothing like the possibility of a promotion to keep your team working hard. According to Adam Foroughi , a co-founder and CEO: “Outside hires can sap the motivation for mid-level and junior-level talent to work harder and move up the ladder.

Hiring managers and HR professionals could probably conduct a standard interview in their sleep. The same tired questions, the same handshakes, the same cup of water (though hopefully not literally)—it’s no wonder that so many companies are trying to shake things up these days in the recruitment space. Trying out new tactics for pre-screening and interviewing isn’t just to make the process more interesting for HR though—it’s often to reveal certain skills and personality traits or ensure candida

It’s difficult to say which is a bigger challenge for employers: recruiting or retention. After all, hiring great people means nothing if they leave within their first year. And that happens — a lot. Companies with low turnover tend to provide employees with what I call the three “ Characteristics of Retention ,” which are culture/values recognition, community impact, and continuous learning.

Throness identifies two main obstacles to conducting effective training sessions: (1) having a conversation about performance in the first place, and (2) overcoming a reluctance to share negative feedback.

Training and development initiatives are important because they help ensure your staff continually improves and keeps their skills current. They’re also a great way to boost employee retention. When you invest in your employees, they feel valued and are more likely to stay put. Unfortunately, many small business owners don’t have the budget for big-ticket seminars or workshops, so they assume all company-sponsored professional development is simply out of reach.

We talk a lot here about “red flags” that warn you that a job may not be one you’ll be happy in. But red flags can be tough to spot when you really, really want (or need) a job; it’s often pretty easy to overlook danger signs. And sometimes you don’t realize something was a red flag until it’s too late and you’re already in the job.

Beads of perspiration appear on your forehead as you realise that HR is on the other side of your phone conversation. The very pleasant and oddly chipper voice on the other side summons you to their offices. Your heart races as you slowly meander down the hallway running through the various wrongdoings you’ve made in your head. It’s a scary experience for any employee, so it’s no wonder there’s a lot of mystery and mythology surrounding this influential department.
