As a franchisor, your franchise business can only be successful when individual franchisees are meeting – and exceeding – their goals. The center of any franchise business success story is the people – employees – who make it happen. The top priority management should have each time a new franchise location opens is to hire the best team possible. But with most franchise brands having dozens – or even hundreds – of locations, there’s no way you can chime in for every hiring decision.

Unlimited vacation is still as popular as ever. Organizations are revamping their policies for a variety of reasons including increasing work/life balance and reducing administration. But I know that some organizations are apprehensive to make the transition because they’re concerned employees will abuse the time off and employee performance and company productivity will take a nose dive.

Employees don’t just work 40 hours a week because they want to. They come into work day after day for a mix of reasons, likely including a passion for what they do and to make the money they need to live their lives. When either of those is stagnant, however—I.E. you haven’t been able to give raises this year or employees are burnt out on a challenging project—there’s one other thing that keeps them coming back: their work friendships.

Guest post by WorkHuman speaker Cy Wakeman on the Globoforce blog. What surprised me most when I was promoted to a leadership position was how conventional HR practices are rarely based in psychology, especially since these practices affect something all employees have in common – the human condition. Instead of calling people up to greatness, I quickly observed that conventional HR leadership practices caused more drama and fueled entitlement.

Perhaps it can be said that staff meetings are a necessary evil. It is important for teams to communicate, and a well-designed staff meeting can foster that communication.

The current labor force in America is polarizing – there are lots of older workers (aging quickly), lots of younger ones, and fewer people in the middle. That’s a legitimate managerial challenge. There are fast-paced changes in work that lead to skill shortages and complaints from managers that they have no one ready to fill vacancies. When a key position is left unfilled for any length of time, important decisions cannot be reached and critical activities are delayed.

Rob de Luca , BambooHR. Full disclosure: BambooHR fully supports the idea of a culture-first business strategy. . Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So too, it seems, when it comes to business, because for every theory attempting to establish good business practice, there appears an opponent determined to stand and fight against it.

Yes, employers can — and should — enforce drug policies that prohibit employees from working under the influence of drugs that impact performance and safety, even if the substances are legally prescribed prescription drugs. However, there is another a caveat to even the most black-and-white policies employers must keep in mind. That caveat involves the intersection of the ADA’s reasonable accommodation process with a company’s drug policy.

I love my job. Seriously, I’m one of those people who says I’d still work if I won the lottery. What I’d do is vary where I worked, as I’d use my newfound wealth to travel the globe , one time zone at a time, because I hate jet lag. But, for the past couple of days, I haven’t wanted to do any work. I’m visiting the in-laws in upstate NY, but staying in an Airbnb so that I can work undisturbed and so that my children won’t disturb their grandparents.

Remember the letter-writer who resigned and her employer asked her to write them a check to cover the plane ticket for a conference she now wouldn’t be attending? Here’s the update. I really appreciated all the support and insight from the comments section. I followed your advice to say that I wasn’t able to cover the expense of doing business for the company and that I would need to see the policy that she and the travel office referred to that would require me to do so.

We have just over 50 employees, so we are subject to FMLA. An employee had a baby a couple of months ago and went on maternity leave. We were all 100 percent sure that she would quit to stay home with the baby. Her husband has a good job and her sisters are stay-at-home moms. So, we started working on replacing her. We hired her replacement and she’s great!

Everyone thinks they’re an expert on Career Advice! My favorite career advice folks are the bloggers who haven’t had a real job except for blogging in like a decade!

Recognizing the severity of this problem is crucial.

While we found a number of similarities in background screening practices between these two areas, we also uncovered a number of differences regarding how, why, when and what we verify when conducting an employee background check.

Higher education is finding new ways to measure and support student success in college and beyond. Students, parents, and funding agencies are demanding more accountability, prompting institutions to demonstrate their ability to help students progress from college recruitment to graduation and then into the workforce. In some situations, success means helping a student graduate in four years with a degree and a job offer.

As an employment lawyer nearly 20 years under my belt, I’m fairly jaded. Or maybe, I’m just numb. Either way, I have plenty of stories for a cocktail hour. Like there was that time that I deposed the awkward niece of a plaintiff whose husband wiped the plaintiff’s work laptop with an industrial magnet. This was the same laptop that we believed that the plaintiff had used to fabricate FMLA paperwork.

Employee Engagement is critical to the success of all businesses, but it is especially important to those companies within the energy/utilities industry. When employees in this sector are not actively engaged, fines are levied, injuries occur, and employees & customers can lose their lives. Sadly, energy employees are among the least engaged workers in the nation, ranking 11% less engaged than the national average.

There are only four more months of this year. How are your vacation days looking? If you’re like most American employees, you probably haven’t taken a vacation yet this year. You may have so much unused paid time off (PTO) you can’t possibly take enough vacation before the end of the year. Vacation days don’t come easy in America. We are a work culture that rarely sleeps, never unplugs, and struggles to not check emails.
