One-on-one meetings between managers and employees have always existed. However, they are getting much more attention lately. I believe a big contributor is the focus on continuous performance management. Which makes sense. Why not use regular communication as a way to strengthen performance. Organizations need to remember that the one-on-one meeting becomes successful when managers and employees have a good meeting.

Department of Labor withdraws misclassification guidance. Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) said that it is withdrawing two guidance memos on joint-employer liability and independent contractor classification. These guidance memos were issued in 2015 and 2016 under the Obama administration.

When you think of a bad manager, what comes to mind? Is it someone who berates employees in front of other coworkers? Someone who makes his or her team stay late or come in early everyday for no reason? Are they too “into the weeds” of employees’ work? It’s usually pretty easy for anyone in a company to identify those kind of bad managers even if they don’t’ report directly to them.

It’s a trend HR professionals all over the country are seeing: job hopping. It’s a shift in mindset that may have been spurred by the economic downturn about ten years ago, but it’s showing no sign of slowing down. This trend isn’t just in recruiters’ imaginations. Gallup polls show that Millennials, which are quickly making up the largest portion of the workforce, switch jobs more than any other age group. 60% are open to new opportunities, and engagement levels are overall low.

This makes perfect sense, especially in rapid growth companies where new hires are not always screened for values-fit. Our own team has grown by nearly 50% in recent months, but that growth has only strengthened our culture.

I once worked in an office where, at some point along the way, management instituted the policy that creatives shouldn’t communicate directly with managers in charge of client services. Staff managers were interlocutors with whom we creatives communicated with client services. As a result it took hours, and sometimes days, to perform tasks we could have done in minutes.
