Dear ReWorker, I am a manager in a retail business and have been there for over six years. Recently, a new general manager took over, and she seems to be cleaning house and hiring her own team. I have found out that a supervisor (we'll call him John) that reports directly to me is being asked to step down and he does not want to. The GM targeted him because he said he wanted to leave retail and was looking elsewhere.

This weekend I was doing some spring cleaning. Well, summer cleaning, since I missed the spring season. Anyway, one of the things I found was a box of items I used to keep on my whiteboard next to my desk as reminders of important aspects of HR. These shaped the way I practiced HR and ran my department on a daily basis. I thought it would be fun to share the notes here to help give you an idea of what kind of HR I practiced. 1: Your Company Values Your values statement should be the most tattere

Why is employee engagement critical to an organization? Many think “getting more employees involved” is the end game. That’s true, but for what purpose? To make every person feel like they are making a contribution? To make them happier? To make them more supportive of leadership? If the purpose of employee engagement isn’t clearly defined, and a disciplined process to achieve that purpose isn’t established, the best that can happen is busyness and dysfunction.

Sessions ran the gamut from how to work with investors to how to understand buyers, and many of the founders were asked to give their own short talks on lessons learned, competitive practices, etc.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has a tried-and-tried formula for coping with change: don’t make a big deal out of it. That’s the workplace take-away that most impressed me when I heard Mrs. Obama speak at WorkHuman 2017 conference. It’s advice borrowed from parenting her two girls. Mrs. Obama said that she and President Obama’s parenting philosophy has always been, “don’t make a big deal” out of big changes — and to reassure her daughters that th

Part of engagement and building the modern organization is ensuring that the rank and file in your company approve of your leadership. This is why Glassdoor has the CEO approval rating, etc. Leadership approval ratings are driven by a host of things.

I used to have a truly unreasonable hatred for writing job descriptions. It was so unreasonable that the complaining and avoidance tactics I used were legendary. There was a day in my career that I thought for sure I had been dealt bad karma when I was assigned the task of writing job descriptions for an entire department (50+ job descriptions). With no way of getting out of doing it (because quitting my job would have been a slight overreaction), I had to work out a plan of attack.

When you look for data about what drives employee engagement, the list is always pretty similar. Feeling valued. Trust. Knowing someone cares about me and my development. Appreciation. Here’s the funny thing. If I were to show you just this list and ask you what it describes, “work” is not likely the first thing you’d say. You’d probably guess that they describe some kind of relationship–with your best friend or spouse or maybe a family member.

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.

Older generations often accuse Millennials of being entitled, less accountable and even lazy.

Traditionally, onboarding has been defined as new hire paperwork and tasks required to maintain compliance and ensure day one readiness. But what about after day one? In the current talent market, new hires decide if they are going to stay with a company within the first six months of employment. According to a recent Department of Labor study, 69 percent of new hires to take part in a structured onboarding process are likely to remain with a company for longer than 3 years.
