HR departments and companies invest billions to develop and upgrade their databases without spending enough time to design relevant and useful HR reports. That’s why staff members complain and protest about inaccurate assessments, data-driven errors and unpopular decisions – HR reporting fails to deliver unless the HR reports dig down into the databases to get the most accurate and relevant performance information, employee profile data and business intelligence.

Coworker with anxiety keeps asking us to drive her home and stay there with her. I showed several coworkers the response to my question on here, and they all thought it was great advice.

In many ways, it is thanks to the automotive industry, and Ford in particular, that the process of automation caught on. And although there were earlier attempts – Eli Whitney in the 1700s with muskets I believe–I think many of us automatically picture the Ford assembly line when we think of automation. That image of the conveyor belt, the speed and efficiency of automation so glaringly obvious you begin to wonder why it took two hundred years to perfect.

Over the past week, I’ve had quite a few conversations with HR professional on the brink of a role change or looking to undertake some study in 2017.

It’s the end of the year once again. And if you’re like me, you might be reminded of all the things you endeavored to accomplish in 2016…but just didn’t get around to starting/doing/finishing. Especially if any of them were official new year resolutions. And while I failed at some endeavors, but succeeded to form other productive habits, one thing is clear: my ideas with the best chance of success are the ones that take just a little bit of time, not a ton of money and can be easily turned

I believe taking the opportunity to recognize the truly great things in our life is important. We live in a time and culture where it is easy to both consume and contribute to negative information. Social media, online review platforms and good ole word of mouth allow us to get a message out more thoroughly than ever before. Consider these few statistics from the linked article in the Harvard Business Review: 48% of people who had negative experiences told 10+ people about it. 23% of cust.

I have written many articles on the challenge that young professionals face in launching their career after graduation. My message is to not rest on academic laurels and to not assume that academic achievement alone will enable anyone to get the position they want. I encourage people to separate themselves from “the graduate herd” ; to use education as the foundation on which to get a job and build a successful career.

It seems like they have everything it will take to succeed with your company. But then they actually start working and things are a disaster. They don’t get along with any of their co-workers, every email they send is indecipherable, and their attitude puts a damper on everything.

The holiday season is full of good intentions – but also many emotional pitfalls and opportunities to feel let down, put down, or shut down.

Today’s workplace is more concerned with online attacks than before. As hackers launch cyber-terrorist attacks against businesses of all sizes, everyone from the customer to the CEO is concerned for the safety of their information. Some of these hackers don’t do anything but break into the system and vandalize webpages and cause other types of chaos, but many are looking for credit cards and other information they can use to make money.

Record numbers of organizations are either reviving and rebuilding their diversity programs or building one from scratch. In conjunction with this revival, diversity’s definition is changing. Corporations are now boring through traditional, more intrinsic categorizations (e.g, race and gender) to something even more basic, and perhaps more powerful: diversity of thought and experience.

There’s a saying in business: “If you want to get something done, give it to a busy person.” But is that fair to the busy person? It makes sense that organizations would want to give crucial work assignments to their most talented and productive employees. They know these workers will come through, having already proven themselves to be highly competent multi-taskers and the ultimate team players.

Business owners can’t just sit back and wait for new leaders to arrive, fully developed. They must actively identify employees with leadership potential and then find ways to nurture and develop that potential.
