You may think you're bad at judging which candidates will become star employees and which will crash and burn. But it turns out almost everyone is. According to a study out of the University of Toledo in 2000, interviewers tend to form an opinion about a candidate within ten seconds of the person walking in a room. The problem? These snap judgements are usually wrong.

I’ve been a Monster customer for at least fifteen years. I’ve used Monster in four different companies that I’ve worked for. I also use (or have used) CareerBuilder, LinkedIn, Indeed and Dice. So, I’ve got experience dealing with large spends on the Job Board side. Having a presence on Job Boards is part of almost every recruiting strategy that’s out there, it’s one place most organizations need to be, I truly believe that.

It can be said that those who work in PR or Marketing for an organisation are those who speak for it. They use creative ways to create buzz, hype it up and attract stakeholders that are the cream of the crop. It could start with successful campaigns, great commercials or even killer social media strategies. Being either of the methods, they basically build the company brand.

by Lynette Silva. Recognize This! – Working more human requires we allow our humans to be fully themselves, inside and outside work. You could call me a football fan if, by “fan,” you mean I sit and a read book next to my husband while he watches the Patriots game. But I seem to have picked up more than I realized by this fan-through-proximity method.

It's every manager's worst nightmare. You did the right thing with some problematic employees, but then you got investigated/sued. Getting sued is a scarlet letter. Without question, it's much better not to get sued, but if you do the right thing and get sued as a result, sometime you LOOK LIKE A BETTER LEADER THAN OTHERS AROUND YOU. Such is the case with Missouri Softball Coach Ehren Earleywine, who's had a lot of success at Mizzou but was recently under investigation.

In today’s workplace, being a change agent is crucial or soon your organization will become a fossilized relic. Merely staying the course is not enough. Change is only going to get faster as time progresses. Don’t believe me? Look at your job description. I bet if it’s over one year old it’s outdated. You will have to reinvent yourself several times over the next five years.

I remember my first encounter with a bully – we’ll call him Paul Bugbee. He chased a neighborhood friend of mine home from school for two years, shouting destructive words, despite his parents’ pleas with the school and Bugbee’s parents. What changed the pattern? My brother, who even at the tender age of nine was more than up to the task of making sure Bugbee regretted his impulse to bully.

We have all witnessed it. Some really well-liked, productive employee suddenly tenders his or her resignation, or maybe just doesn’t show up for work one day. The workplace quickly becomes abuzz with rumors of why the person quit. If the rumors are accurate then the reason most often lies with the manager. After all, there is a whole heck of a lot of truth to the old adage, “Employees don’t leave companies, they leave managers.”.

“People don’t care who they hurt or beat. For the love of money.” excerpt from the song “For the Love of Money,” by The O’Jays. Pay inequity. This is a well-worn topic that has been getting a lot of attention, especially over the past few years. Pay inequity is an insidious practice felt by many and one that knows no boundaries. Undeniably, it’s more targeted at certain people based on their gender, age, occupation, education, race, religion, and geography.

The DOL has said that by the end of 2018, it plans to audit every employer covered by the ACA for compliance with the healthcare reform law. Realistic or not, it sent a strong message to employers. . It’s certainly debatable on whether the DOL can make good on its lofty goal — but the implication is crystal clear: Many employers will have their ACA practices put under the microscope.

By Robert Mattson, VP of Content Marketing, Ceridian. When someone leaves an organization we all feel the loss. Whether it’s that hourly employee that is the heart of the store moving to the competitor down the road for a 50 cent an hour increase, or the top performer in a corner office. Even before the goodbye lunches and the cards being passed around to sign, the effect has been around for weeks and months.

I received an email from a reader last week that asked for a bit of HR advice. This company is small, approximately 45 employees with no HR onsite. The office manager handles HR and this question was a bit out of her expertise. The question surrounded two employees who traveled together for a work trip.

Most of the time, it’s just Lisa and I. I like her a lot. She’s very experienced and knowledgeable, and I’m grateful to her for sharing her knowledge. We’re in sales, so we’re chatty and get along well on a friendly level.

They are minor mistakes and I take full responsibility for them, but what should I say to my supervisor about being “tattled” on? I answer this question over at Inc. today, where I’m revisiting letters that have been buried in the archives here from years ago (and sometimes updating/expanding my answers to them).

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

I want to propose what may seem to some a radical goal for the international development agenda: The most impactful way for knowledge to serve development is for every successful, local, intervention to “ Pay it Forward ” to another facility or region. For example a team of originators in a region that has reduced HIV, “Pays it Forward” by taking what it has learned to another region to help that region accomplish what the originating team has learned to do.

Upon leaving, my manager and coworkers suggested things like “come back to visit sometime,” “feel free to drop by the office anytime,” “stay in touch and we’ll grab coffee,” etc.
