As any seasoned recruiter or hiring manager would tell you, the hiring process is about a lot more than the interview. While the interview is a great chance to really start to get to know a candidate, what job seekers do afterwards can be just as important. Everything from the questions they ask to the post-interview thank you note is full of information about what type of employee they would be.

April is Autism Awareness Month. The topic of autism among our youth and adults is something I’m quite passionate about. You might be surprised to know that 1 in 68 births in the United States receive an autism diagnosis with that number increasing every year. Autism Speaks, a leading autism advocacy non-profit, defines autism as a group of complex disorders of brain development that is often referred to as autism, autism spectrum disorder or ASD.

There will always be challenges that face HR executives and practitioners. Historically, many issues arose from lack of data. It used to be embarrassing. HR practitioners used to wince when they needed to justify expenses. Workforce analytics are now better than ever, but organizations need to properly access them, align their information with decision-making, and act accordingly.

I love the definition of employee engagement that I read in this recent TalentCulture post. It’s succinct and comprehensive: . When employees are engaged, they adopt the vision, values, and purpose of the organization they work for. They become passionate contributors, innovating problem solvers, and stunning colleagues. . But what does it mean to be a disengaged employee ?

April 12th marked “ Equal Pay Day ” in the US, a day that unfortunately must remind us that the typical woman earns.79 cents for every dollar a man earns. Reflektive customer Glassdoor supports those findings and reports that their data shows women earn.76 cents for every dollar a man makes. Fortunately in the tech industry, many companies have made it a mission to right this and ensure that a women with equal skill, background and talent is paid the same as a man.

WooHoo Inc. (whose founder, Alexander Kjerulf, sat down with us for a Q&A last summer ) recently released some interesting findings in its survey of more than 700 workers from around the globe about bad days at work—how common they are and what makes them bad. Some may argue that a bad work day could have nothing to do with the job itself. And that’s true—but rarely.

I am amazed sometimes by how technology is impacting the world we live in. For example, SpaceX being so successful in reusing spaceships may not have a great impact today, but it does change the way we look at the future, and what we understand by science fiction. Human Resource is one of those industries which does not quite make its way into science fiction books, and no kid grows up thinking of revolutionizing the technology inside this particular market.

Should we discard all learning methods of the past to meet the demands of modern learning opportunities? Probably not. We certainly need to modernize learning to keep up with how, when, and where learners need it. However, although it may come as a surprise, digital and flashy isn’t what makes learning modern. But it’s best to trend toward the modern side of learning to keep today’s learners engaged.

Startups are natural rule breakers. You’ve got to ruffle a few feathers and disrupt the status quo if you want to build the next Facebook. But there’s one area where startups definitely don’t want to break the rules: payroll and HR. Startups that don’t comply with payroll and HR laws can face serious legal and financial consequences. Some penalties are even severe enough to (almost) drive them out of business.

I took the day off, yesterday. My brain is mushy from writing white papers on HR, and I needed a break from the internet. So I went to the North Carolina Museum of Art. It’s not too far from my house. There’s a beautiful running path that crisscrosses through the campus. The greenway is full of sculptures and interactive art. I don’t know where you live, but springtime in Raleigh is warm and humid.

In the history of organizations, the department of Human Resources has always ran an extra mile to create its clout among other business functions. This reality gets magnified when it comes to startups since it is highly convenient to overlook the people practices when your company is bubbling with non-channeled energy and is in a hurry to generate profits.

In today’s business world, it is not good enough for human resource managers (HRMs) to simply create initiatives, programs, and processes as proof of their excellence.

Have you heard about the recent study released by the University of Melbourne’s Neuroscience Institute? In their Applied Economic and Social Research study, they looked at the optimal number of hours a week an employee should work. Their findings were surprising, to say the least. Research showed that for every hour you work up to 25 hours a week, your cognitive function steadily increases.

Do you have this level of trust in your coworkers? How much do you trust your coworkers? Your boss? How about senior leadership? If you’re striving to build a culture that really stands out from the rest, one key piece of the puzzle is trust—in colleagues and in leaders who are responsible for setting the tone for the rest of the business. And if you’ve ever worked in a company with high levels of mistrust and suspicion, you know full well how it can seep into every corner of your work life.

Blogging is interesting because sometimes you research and report, other times you give pure opinion. Today is an opinion day, and it’s a fine line between doing that and becoming “preachy” The truth is that there have been times when I’ve been nearing job burnout during my career. Face it, we all have those times. It’s important to think about ways to head that off instead of waiting for things to get to that point.
