Gone are the days of listing job postings on bulletin boards and keeping thick files of paperwork on every employee. HR has gone digital and that technological shift, along with a younger workforce, has changed the role of human resources departments. The history of human resources dates back to the late 1800s, when industrial welfare workers inspected factories and helped to regulate hours for a workforce that included children.

Imagine you had two extra hours today to spend however you pleased. What would you do with that time? Play with your kids? Work out at the gym? Sleep? For many of the nurses in a recent Swedish study, the answer was all of the above. The 23-month experiment followed 68 nurses who were divided into two groups: one on a regular 40-hour work week, the other just 30 hours per week.

Every article you’ve ever read about bosses starts with this quote: “Employees don’t quit jobs. They quit bosses.”. It may be a little overused but it’s absolutely true. What kind of work an employee does is not nearly as important to corporate culture and overall job satisfaction as how their boss treats them. Everybody wants to be a great boss, but if that desire was enough, articles like this wouldn’t be necessary.

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.

For many executives, it is tempting to view employee recognition software as a cost without seeing the full benefit of the investment. Appreciation and employee engagement are mistakenly seen as soft benefits – making it all too easy to avoid investing in an employee experience enhancement program that, at first glance, looks more like a bonus than mission-critical functionality.

One of the hardest things for me to get used to during my time abroad is the different schedule. The meals in Spain (and in many other countries) are later, generally, lunch is eaten around 2 and dinner is eaten around 9 or 10. These late eating times are killing me, and I am constantly hungry all morning and late afternoon. Although I can’t stand the eating schedule, one of my favorite things about Spain so far is the siesta time.
