A reader writes: Last night, a group from my department went out to celebrate another employee. It was a happy hour/dinner at a karaoke bar. There were seven of us total from my dept. The seven employees included two managers (including myself), three other senior employees (not managers), and one lower level employee [who is not my direct report; her girlfriend was also in attendance (not a member of my department)].

It’s more than sad; it’s a missed opportunity. In my experience, less than one in 10 large organizations make a concerted effort to fully align their leadership development and employee engagement initiatives.

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.

In many companies I partner with, a certain percentage of employees work from home or are virtual employees – contractors or long-term freelancers. The percentage varies ( ASTD , SHRM ), from 30 to 45 percent, which seems consistent with what I hear from the HR practitioners and leaders that I collaborate with.

Succession Planning: Should You Keep it Internal? The goal of succession planning is simple: to recruit top talent to fill key positions when they become available with as little transition time as possible.
