When it comes to office holiday celebrations, not all parties are created equal. In a recent survey by staffing firm OfficeTeam, workers from 27 major U.S. cities were asked to describe their company holiday parties and rate them on several factors. While 36% of overall respondents describe these celebrations as fun, the results show that attitudes on holiday festivities vary considerably by city.

Fitness customers today have countless options when it comes to getting in shape. From full-service gyms to at-home fitness apps to studios dedicated to yoga, cycling, crossfit and more, the possibilities are endless. And with many fitness centers offering first-time visitors a free week or month of membership, consumers often jump from free trial to free trial, rather than joining one fitness center for the long-term.

Today’s media has a lot of talk about rules. Specifically, about breaking rules. Remember the Marcus Buckingham book “ First, Break All the Rules ”? In a world where disruption is often truly valued, knowing how and when to break the rules is essential. And that’s the key – knowing how and when. Whether it’s one rule or a few thousand, today’s Time Well Spent from our friends at Kronos reminds us that every once in a while, we have to abide by the rules.

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.

If there’s one trend that is picking up speed in today’s organizations, it’s the realization that keeping departments in separate silos isn’t the most efficient way to do things. Cross-departmental collaboration is helping companies tap into the skill sets of their talent in new and exciting ways. For example, consider how well HR and marketing work together.

There are plenty of articles and opinions on how to become a better manager and leader, but nearly all of them are blind to the overwhelming evidence that 50-65% of managers don’t give a crap. That may be a generous number. Take a look at Gallup and other studies, and you will find, for over 15 years the average breakdown is, 30% of employees are engaged, 50% are meh, and 20% are actively disengaged.

Almost two years back I riffed on the Progressive Insurance ad titled 'Sprinkles are for winners'. To save you some time and a click, I really liked (and still do) the spot. Competition is hard. Trying is good. But there are winners and there are not-winners (losers), and in most forms of endeavor, the winners get the spoils and the sprinkles. Here's the original Progressive ad in case you need a reminder.

Most companies start recognition programs because they want to increase employee engagement. High employee engagement has been linked to better productivity, customer/patient loyalty, employee retention, and overall financial performance. However, there is a lot of conflicting information out there about what “employee engagement” means, and many use the term interchangeably with recognition and rewards.
