I’m a big fan of 2nd chance candidates. Candidates who were fired, terminated, let go, etc. for many various reasons, most of which come down to wrong job fit, the wrong personality fit with their boss, wrong skill fit, etc. I don’t have actual numbers, and I wouldn’t believe any study who told me a number because here’s what really happens.

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 you hear the phrase “happy at work” and start zoning out immediately, consider these two words: discretionary effort. Discretionary effort refers to the activities beneficial to the business but not part of one’s job — a real game-changer. Even your workplace’s biggest Scrooge can get behind employee experience programs when they realize that happy employees drive more revenue by being more productive and creating a better customer experience.

The idea of having a purpose at work has gotten a lot of press lately, but the coverage is incomplete (back to this momentarily). First, a definition. I like to think of purpose as your Profound Why – Why are you working so hard? For what higher-order reason?

The thing I love most about the Internet is the availability of information. For all the evil, bad things that are out there, you can find as many inspirational and informational stories too.

I totally get it. The last thing you’re in the mood to do once open enrollment is finally over is… think a little more about open enrollment. A 10-hour nap would be nice. Maybe a large glass of champagne. A post-mortem where you talk about what went well, and what could have better if…yeah, not so much.

Many companies have gone through an organizational restructuring, where a traditional top-down management structure with a strict hierarchy is switched out in favor of something that more resembles a lattice. In a lattice (or horizontal) organization, employees may not have one direct supervisor; instead, they have connections and responsibilities that span departments and lines.
