It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. Can I get reimbursed for having to get a doctor’s note? So, I know the answer is probably going to be no, but I’m wondering if I could ask to be compensated for the cost of a doctor’s note? I work retail where traditionally people can be a little dishonest for calling out “sick.” We’ve had issues recently with a few employees doing this.

To give us a thorough explanation, I asked Mike Haberman SHRM-SCP , co-founder of Omega HR Solutions , if he would share his expertise with us.

Back in the day, culture was something you became exposed to when you traveled to a foreign country. And employee performance was as easy to manage as uttering the words, “work harder or you’re fired!” But modern employees and workplaces are far more complex. Counterintuitive management theories now tell us that annual reviews do more harm than good , and people must make space during the day for naps and meditation to enhance productivity.

Which isn’t surprising when you consider most executives cite on-the-job experiences, stretch projects and mentors as key elements for developing leadership qualities. These types of interactions that help employees grow can be categorized in two ways: strong mentorship and engaging management.

By: Ruth Chapman Marketing, Achievers EMEA. According to Gallup, companies with a highly engaged workforce outperform their peers by 147% in earnings per share. Yet, even with more evidence stressing its importance, the state of engagement in the UK remains low, with only around a third of workers being highly engaged. As a consequence, productivity continues to lag nearly 20% behind that of other G7 countries.

"The Villain Is The Person Who Knows The Most, But Cares The Least.". --From Chuck Klosterman In I Wear The Black Hat. When it comes to Employee Relations, any investigation you do of general bad stuff is going to uncover a lot of ugly things. Human nature takes over and people do things they shouldn't. However, at times you still need to look at all the bad in any situation and determine, who's really responsible?

“How to find top talent” is one of the most popular recruiting Google searches. ‘Talent’ is a feel-good word for describing good job candidates. But, framing ‘talent’ as the main recruiting and retention issue for companies does us all a disservice. Trying to find people with ‘talent’ is subjective, bias-laden and imprecise. Successful hiring programs focus on finding employees with measurable skills instead.

Aside from simply not providing it with the initial application, what about when you’re asked directly, or given a form?

Everybody has the capacity for leadership. I know that’s not a trendy thing to write, but there isn’t much art or science in leading people or an organization. Some people choose to lead, and some don’t. It’s a decision, not a triumphant act of courage. Those who say yes are often given an unfortunate path where they can “improve their skills” and polish their presentation styles.
