Whenever people ask me what I do and I say “human resources”, their first response is … oh, you hire people. Which is true, HR often has responsibility for talent acquisition. But it’s certainly not the sum and substance of the role. So, when I try to explain what HR does , it becomes this long list of things – benefits, compensation, safety, employee relations, etc. etc.

Do you remember the last time you wrote a business case for office supplies? Things such as pencils paper and envelopes? Neither do I, even though it’s apparent that we need these things to get work done. It’s been decades since we have needed a funding justification for simple office supplies. I would also suggest that other items in the more recent history of business technology fit in the same category.

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.

Not all recognition and rewards programs are created equal. That, however, can be hard to prove when trying to convince executives it’s time for a change. Many companies think that simply checking the box on having a rewards program is good enough. What many HR leaders don’t realize that traditional approaches and technologies to little to engage employees and even worse, they’re actually wasting money along the way.

Culture is a vital and unique part of every organization. It’s what makes people decide to join a team and is the biggest reason employees choose to stay or leave. It’s the key to gaining (and maintaining) a true competitive edge—one that makes work a place people want to be. But company culture can be very difficult to define. Unlike pay, perks, and promotions, culture is a rather elusive quality that stands in a class all its own.

No longer a specialist relief pitcher called in to face a tough hitter, or a rarely used bench player padding stats in garbage time, employee recognition has become a widely recognized superstar when it comes to driving employee engagement. And with only 41% of employees recognized at their desired frequency, and 60% feeling their managers don’t recognize them in the moment , a huge opportunity exists for your business to leverage recognition to engage your employees.

Earlier this month, Warren Buffett appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” and had several things to say in his interview; especially about Trump’s American Health Care Act. While many speculated that Trump’s proposed bill to repeal and replace Obama’s Affordable Care Act would only help the wealthly, Buffett confirmed the suspicions. “If there’s one clear-cut message that comes out of that bill it is we’re going to cut the hell out of income taxes for the rich on investment income,

The predictable irrationality of human beings is something that never ceases to amaze me. Dan Ariely paints this picture for us in a way that surely leaves us all slapping our foreheads, wondering how we, too, fall prey to irrational lines of thinking on a regular basis. Nowhere is this more evident than when we are facing hard times with our businesses – when the economy is in a temporary decline, or competition has released a better product and sales are stalling.

Employee engagement is suffering. According to Gallup's 2017 State of the American Workplace Report , only 33% of U.S. workers are engaged with their jobs. Previously, the management consulting company found that a mere 13% of employees are engaged across the globe. Considering the fact that, as Dale Carnegie points out, companies with engaged employees outperform those without them by up to 202%, it comes as no surprise that engagement is routinely listed as a top concern for many organizations

At the heart of a meaningful change is someone who thought beyond the boundaries. Someone who challenged the status quo. Someone who exerted emotional labor to pursue, fight for their ideas and convince others. And then they bring about change. You can call them rebels or change makers and they are inevitable for growth and positive change. Rebels may not be a very popular lot and many bosses I’ve seen work overtime to subdue the rebels.

I’m an advice column junkie. Carolyn Hax, though, stands above the rest of the advice givers and when she told someone, “ Please promise me this: that you won’t marry anyone until you’re ready to approach your own life as if you’re its CEO, ” I knew these were wise words for everyone. I’m not going to talk about marriage (although I agree with her advice on that), but I am going to talk about your work life.

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.
