Here are my top 5 issues for HR professionals that will impact your job for the rest of 2016. The election. I’ve been telling you for years that HR sits at the intersection of work, power, politics and money. This election is an HR election. Watch accordingly. HDHPs.

Whenever organizations begin using a new pre-hire assessment tool, the chances are very high that there will be some stakeholders who will be resistant to the new process. For example, a hiring manager may question the results for a particular candidate who failed despite being “one of the best” candidates they’ve seen. Or the interview team may start questioning the test after a candidate who passed the assessment interviewed very poorly.

During this year’s WorkHuman Conference hosted by Globoforce , keynote speaker Shawn Achor made the comment that employees never get tired of praise. At first, I totally agreed. Especially when you hear statistics like the ones from the WorkHuman Research Institute that found 21 percent of respondents have never been recognized at work and 33 percent haven’t been recognized in 6 months.

When it comes to talent management, there’s a paradox that continues to confound HR leaders. For a long time, HR departments have been called on to become more strategic—less fixated on matters that only concern HR, and more focused on matters that concern the entire business. At the same time, talent management—a bedrock component of the HR function—is by definition a strategic pursuit.

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.

Change is rarely easy, especially when a habit has been formed. Just think about how difficult, stressful, and even annoying it can be when someone asks to change your morning routine or you are forced to change it. That is just one person. So imagine the challenges of trying to implement a change management process in an organization, where all people have different responses to change and ways of coping with it.

It’s been quite a rollercoaster ride for the Affordable Care Act this year, as companies like UnitedHealth have spiked their premiums in an effort to combat what they reportedly found to be huge losses in 2015. The blame has been placed upon the Affordable Care Act’s Health Insurance Marketplace , where coverage is offered at a perceived low rate as compared to that being shopped for privately.

If there's one thing I've learned in a career of being a manager/coach (both in corporate America and in sports), it's that when I'm not satisfied with the results I'm getting, I almost always should have changed what I was doing earlier. Flat results + Doing the same thing = more flat results. Why do we keep doing the same things even though we see diminishing results?

In a society where people have the right to voice their opinions, a leader’s role is often to find consensus. On the occasion when everyone agrees, it’s tempting to sigh in relief and start happy hour a little early. If this is the case, fight the temptation; your lack of conflict is a drawback. Successful organizations need dissent. That’s why I want a little Three Stooges on my team.

I’m going to make a bold statement: If you’re not recognizing your employees, you’re failing them. Recognition affects everything in a company – from the bottom line to the discretionary effort your employees are willing to put in—and recent research proves that (the 2016 Employee Engagement Trends Report shows that “feeling valued” is one of the three critical areas having the strongest association with overall engagement).
