It’s hard to put a value on talent. While talent is technically a renewable resource (when an employee leaves, they can be replaced), there is no guarantee the new hire will be as strong a contributor to the organization (of course, they could bring even more to the table!). That is why most companies focus on retaining the employees they have. Still, employee turnover is unavoidable, especially in periods of low unemployment and when jobs are plentiful.

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.

The number of job openings in the U.S. fell from 7.6 million in January 2019 to 6.8 million in January 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Is this an early sign that the talent shortage is dwindling? Maybe. But regardless of what those numbers reflect, HR professionals continue to worry about maintaining a skilled workforce. While the largest decreases occurred in retail trade (139,000 jobs) and construction (112,000 jobs), retaining key talent is HR’s chief concern, according to

For far too long, being nice has been mistaken for being weak. In reality, niceness is an necessary quality of leadership for the world we’re living in. It has become so rare that when someone does a kind act or goes out of their way to be nice to someone, it goes viral on social media. Being nice doesn’t mean you can’t make hard decisions or stand up to difficult people, it just means you are respectful, kind, and show empathy to your employees.

Poor culture is a pain point that comes up again and again.
