Dear Timmy, I recently applied for a position that I’m perfect for! A recruiter from the company contacted me and scheduled me for an interview with the manager. I went, the interview was a little over an hour and it went great! I immediately followed up with an email to the recruiter and the manager thanking them, but since then I’ve heard nothing and it’s been weeks.

Everything we do in compensation is communication. This is not only the name of a fabulous book (see my bio), but it also describes a fundamental belief of many Compensation Cafe writers. Compensation colleagues, you can create a compensation plan with this principle in mind, and still miss many important nuances. Why? Because compensation isn't just about numbers, it's also about people.

The business operating environment has transformed over the past decade with the development of technology. While the amount of time, risk and financial investment in new products used to be relatively large, businesses can now leverage real-time consumer data to constantly evolve existing products and test out entirely new ones. The cost and risk to experiment has substantially decreased.

The time clock is such a simple, mundane part of your business. However, it is also a driving part of your overall human resources picture. Employee time must be tracked accurately, and the time clock must be accessible to everyone. Chronic missed punches can lead to inaccuracies that can cost your business thousands of dollars in losses a year. If your clock is placed somewhere the employees don’t normally go, they may legitimately forget to punch-in—or they might be trying to pad their hours.

In today’s dynamic work landscape, where the lines between personal and professional life blur, understanding the intricate interplay between social determinants of health (SDoH) and emotional wellbeing is paramount. Employers must acknowledge that the whole person comes to work and every aspect of a person’s personal and professional life, especially their mental health, comes with them.

Based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, next to physical safety, ‘belonging’ is a basic human necessity. In context of the workplace, when an employee believes in the organisation’s mission, they tend to invest in that journey as well. These employees utter statements such as: “We are putting together a new program successfully” or “We have a great relationship, and hence we get things done together quite well”.

Your desk at work is an incredibly personal place. It might not seem like it, but it’s true. The average office worker spends around 5 hours 41 minutes at their desk each day, so it’s not surprising that it almost becomes an extension of their personality. With that in mind, there’s actually a great deal you can glean from a person’s desk space in terms of their personality and their working habits.

A great work environment with happy employees is the start for creating sincere and enduring employee advocates.

There is a lot of research out there that supports the direct correlation between employee satisfaction and its impact on customer satisfaction.

Keeping employees happy does more than just make for a pleasant work environment: studies have shown that turnover has a negative impact on the bottom line, with the loss of even an eight dollar an hour employee costing between $3,500-$25,000. Providing a positive employee work experience and decreasing turnover isn’t just the nice thing to do, it could directly impact how well your business performs.

You spent a lot of time constructing an eloquent mission statement — one full of promises and overflowing with trendy jargon. Top management applauds it, and clients appreciate it. But do your employees see it merely as rambling, meaningless verbiage? Less than 50 percent of the nation’s workers feel motivated by their employers’ core value statements.

Most firms have no idea that they have a revolving door that is bleeding diversity talent, because unexplainably, they don’t measure and report diversity turnover and the cost. But what if your executives knew that diversity turnover was off the chart, especially in tech where workers, and especially women, black and Latino tech workers were more likely to quit because of unfairness or mistreatment.

While judgment day has been pushed out further during the course of the series, the sense is that it still looms just over the horizon.

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.

A reader writes: Am I being unprofessional/unfriendly if I don’t engage in the “how are you/fine how are you/fine” interactions at my office? It feels deeply inauthentic. “Fine” is never the best answer for how I’m feeling, and it feels painful to say when in actuality I’m going through a rough time. When I ask someone how they are, I actually want to know, so hearing “fine” is also frustrating.

I think anyone can do well in a phone interview if they're prepared, but what happens when you get an ambush call? I know some recruiters like to do this -- call you during the dinner hour when the kids are screaming and the meatloaf in burning and the dog has just eaten a sofa cushion. You scream, a "dammit!" into the phone as you step in dog barf (the dog didn't like the cushion so much) and suddenly your career is teetering on the abyss.
