Nearly 2 million people in the United States work in a job related to electric power generation or fuels according to the U.S Department of Energy. While we often think of police, fire, and medical personnel as first responders, it’s easy to forget that this vast workforce plays a significant role in crisis response, especially after natural disasters.

Organizations decide they’re going to change all the time. Especially during times like we’re experiencing today, when recruiting is tough, engagement is a challenge, and retention is a top priority. It’s not unusual for an organization to say, “We need to change so we can get the best talent and crush the competition.” But organizational change doesn’t happen just because: Something goes offline, like a system.

There’s a lot of talk about the role of the HR analyst so I thought it would be fun to compare some of the job descriptions out there. I randomly selected 5 HR analyst job openings on LinkedIn and, after removing the company-specific information, posted them below. Do you see any trends? My hypothesis was that job descriptions with similar names would mention similar requirements.

Agile software development was created as a way to meet the rapidly changing and complex demands of customers. Agile HR is gaining momentum as a way to meet the rapidly changing and complex demands of today’s workforce. From sprint-based project cycles, to kanban boards for communication and more, there are many visual reminders of how Agile works. However, Agile is so much more than a way to decorate an office–Agile teams get results.

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.

Employee feedback should be simple. Just speak with your employees, right? Not exactly. Most managers are afraid to communicate with employees and for good reason. Research shows that feedback interventions can often backfire and more than one-third of feedback conversations actually decrease performance. As a manager, giving feedback is something you will probably do as the most frequent part of any continuous performance management process.

A coach coaches in real-time during a game, reacting to their team’s performance and providing in-the-moment guidance to help the players improve and the team win. The coach doesn’t wait until the end of the season to start coaching. The same principle applies to performance reviews. The traditional method of performance management – waiting until the end of the year, or doing biannual reviews, simply doesn’t work.

Enterprise Zone (EZ) programs have existed in the United States since the early 1980’s. However, most people are unaware of these programs or fail to realize their impact. When new tax legislation is proposed or passed, the majority of people immediately consider: “how does this affect me and my family?” The focus is on personal tax rates, credits and deductions.

When I think of optimism and resiliency in people, I think of our “greatest generation” and people like Louis Zamperini. Zamperini faces extraordinary trauma, as depicted in the book Unbroken , and he has leadership lessons for all of us. If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, Unbroken , you must add it to your list. Zamperini’s story is unbelievable that one person could survive so much and live a healthy life to age 97.

A trend I’m seeing more and more, and which is reflected in the latest Bersin By Deloitte ‘Market Trends’ Keynote , is L&D’s shift in focus from ‘learning outcomes’ to the complex and individually experienced reality of the work itself. Senior L&D leaders generally recognise this already. Many conversations they’re exposed to at board-level seek to address actual performance and organisational capability to meet current and future needs.

This blog is generally about HR.

Since the solution to most business problems generally involve workforce alignment and OD issues, it stands to reason that HR people could have something valuable to say.

It seems like I’m seeing more and more people with service animals—particularly “comfort animals” meant to ease anxiety or similar problems.
