There’s lots of talk about digital transformation but do we really know what it means? And everything that’s involved? One of the best definitions I’ve heard was at last year’s KronosWorks conference. John Frehse, senior managing director at Ankura Consulting Group LLC, described digital transformation with the line, “Data is out. Answers are in.” His point was that digital transformation is about organizations getting answers through the strategic use of technology.
The most powerful coaching tool a manager has is a one-on-one meeting. These meetings are dedicated time for managers to learn important information about their employees and offer useful feedback in real-time. When one-on-ones happen frequently, managers have the opportunity to increase their overall effectiveness and boost employee performance. Here are four tips to help you have more meaningful one-on-ones with your employees each and every week. 1.
The shockwave of the COVID-19 pandemic is being felt worldwide. Many employees feel the financial pinch of limited hours or reduced pay, and the mental pressure of mitigating the fallout from this health crisis. Unsurprisingly, the World Bank estimates that the pandemic will plunge most countries into a recession in 2020, with per capita income reducing in the most considerable fraction of countries globally since 1870.
Twelve years ago, when the Great Recession hit and money got tight, businesses had to make cuts. And what was one of the first things to go ? Management training and development. The COVID-19 economic crisis is going to tempt business leaders to do the same thing, and I’m here to warn you: don’t repeat the mistake. . How do I know it was a mistake? Because for the last 7 years, my entire business has focused on helping companies pick up the pieces from slashing training budgets long ago.
To keep your business running smoothly (and legally), HR needs to get compliance right every time. Our HR Compliance Checklist is your go-to guide to cover the basics and start your auditing processes, helping you identify and address any gaps in your HR functions. Remember, compliance rules can differ based on industry and location—you’ll still need to keep up with changing regulations, but our checklist can help you get started.
I want to highlight two very different approaches by employers that were described in the comments on one of last week’s letters. The first : My friend just texted me and her office is doing “pants and shoes checks” before Zoom meetings to make sure people are complying with the dress code 100% even if you only see 50% of the outfit. Another was just told that her staff need to have workspaces that have dedicated offices and if they don’t have them in their current residences they are supp
While many U.S. employers are struggling with layoffs, others—primary in retail, e-commerce and delivery—are looking to hire. And big time. According to a recent report from CNBC, in fact, employers in those industries and related sectors are preparing for the upcoming holiday season like never before, as consumers abandon on-location buying sprees for virtual settings, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

If I work less, you will pay less. True? I’m assuming your answer to the question, what do you value most, time, or money? Your answer was time. Given enough time I can make more money. No matter how much money I have, I can’t necessarily buy more time. So, if I do my work faster for you, that should have a higher value, right? You see, it doesn’t work both ways.
Yesterday I felt the need to respond to a post on LinkedIn (lord knows why) that led off with the statement “You don’t need to have a background in HR to lead HR” and then linked to this article. Loads of happy-clappy folks chimed in about how the best skill set for HR is to “care for people” and similar thoughts that practically brimmed with smile emojis.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) People Analytics Conference. During one of the sessions, speaker Jack Phillips shared five components for successful organizational analytics, and I wanted to share those with you. I really liked this model because I felt like it was something the entire organization could support.

In today’s complex healthcare environment, navigating third-party relationships has become even more challenging—whether it’s vendor relationships, employee activities, or patient-facing interactions. Left unmanaged, these conflicts can compromise trust, regulatory compliance, and even organizational reputation. So, how can healthcare teams stay ahead?
It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. We have to share our feelings on a color-coded scale. My manager has started asking our team to go around the virtual “room” and share our state of mind at the beginning of each meeting. We are supposed to to share how we’re doing on a color-coded scale of red to green. This has been explained as a trust-building exercise.
When I talk about 15Five’s mission, I like to say that we are in the business of employee feedback. Because when it comes to enacting positive change, managers are most effective when they’re aware of what’s really going on around them. Throughout my time in leadership, I’ve found that by uncovering what’s most meaningful for my team and the company as a whole, I’m better able to take action on what matters most.

Most people recognize 360-degree feedback as a tool for individual development. While it is possible to run a 360 purely for individual development–this is the classic purpose behind most 360s–it is also common for there to be additional organizational objectives behind the assessment. There is nothing wrong with understanding and tapping into the full power of the 360-degree feedback process; however, organizations fail to be clear about their purpose , which leads to anxiety and di

A reader writes: Is it a bad idea not to take all of one’s allotted vacation time? Abe, my one partner (I’m polyamorous), feels strongly that I should use all my time, but I don’t really see the point. I can’t travel, do things, or see family/friends; I’d just stay home and be in the way of Ben, our other partner, who attends a graduate program online.
In business, we are often so results-focused that we can discourage the outside-the-box thinking that drives innovation. But curiosity is vital for building thriving companies and for fostering healthy relationships between managers and co-workers. When you ask your employees the right questions, you’ll get quality feedback that sparks creativity, puts out potential fires, and helps employees show up as their best selves.

To some degree, employees working from home is here to stay for the foreseeable future. As leadership teams move on from the initial concerns of VPN connections and transitioning in-person meetings to video, another question presents itself: how do we maintain our collaboration and company culture with a remote workforce when not all of us are in each other’s company?
Over my years as an analyst I run across a lot of HR technology companies. Some start life with a killer application, others start with a vision of creating a network or library of content, and others want to build a platform. Workday, for example, was a platform company from the start – they didn’t. Read more» The post Eightfold Now Valued At $1 Billion: A Platform Not A Product appeared first on JOSH BERSIN.
2 minute read: An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) can be beneficial for employers and employees alike. According to HealthCare.gov, employers can “control costs by providing defined non-taxed reimbursements to employees for qualified health insurance costs.” Employees, in turn, can choose the individual health insurance coverage that works for them and their families.
A couple of weeks ago, I asked you a question about “ checking out a person’s video background during a call ” and you can see how you responded above. Honestly, this is not a surprise to me. And it shouldn’t be to you either. What’s in the background during your video calls says something about you. The question is does it reflect what you want it to say about you?

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. I don’t want to be friends with my coworker. I work in a bookshop. It’s the sort of place that hires pretty much only graduates, and an obsessive interest in reading is an absolute must — for a retail job, it’s much more of a career than is typical. Their hiring practices mean that generally the shop ends up staffed by a group of very like-minded people with a lot of common interests, and as with a lot of retail jobs, there&#
One of the most effective manager practices to improve employee performance is the one-on-one meeting. Using these meetings purely as a performance check-in, though, is a wasted opportunity, especially in a remote work environment where relationships suffer without regular (video) facetime. At 15Five, we’ve architected a leadership framework called Best-Self Management.
In the world of workforce development, creating reliable partnerships with other organizations is crucial, especially when offering virtual webinars. These “partner webinars” have been a key element in attracting more participants to attend these impactful discussions.
