The Office , a well-known sitcom with such bright characters like Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, Andy Bernard, and others, depicts a lot of funny though hyperbolized stories that can still happen in a workplace.

The exit interview is a long-time staple of HR departments. But an increasing number of companies large and small are ending the practice of asking departing workers to sit down for a final interview. The concept seems sound.

How to Become a Data-Driven HR Leader

Reflektive

A survey of nearly 28,000 business leaders showed that only 11% trust HR to use data to anticipate and fill their organization’s talent needs. This is actually a decrease from a survey three years ago, when 20% of business leaders felt they could trust HR’s use of data.
