In this corner, with a record of effectively improving career development and job performance —supported by detailed feedback from managers as well as colleagues — we have 360 degree performance reviews. In the opposite corner, with a proven record of improving efficiency — supported through lean staffing and related Six Sigma models, downsizing as a result of the recent recession, and the rise of the mobile- technology-enabled workforce — we have the team of one. The contradiction seems obvious.

In the wake of the HuffPost Top 100 Most Social HR Experts list , and the significant number on the list who do not have HR certification , was a comment made by one of those top 100 members: As a recruiting practitioner I really see no value personally or professionally in being a SHRM member or gaining a certificate.

Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian philosopher of communication theory who passed away 33 years ago, once stated: “Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today’s job with yesterday’s tools and yesterday’s concepts.” ” I have been thinking about that quotation in relationship to employee engagement.

. My good friend Christine Martell shared a wonderful story of career mentoring with me the other day. A woman was being sexually harrassed at work and went to see a labor attorney about it. After a few minutes of discussion about the situation, this was the conversation that followed: “Karen, I’m going to talk to you like we’re having a glass of wine, okay?”. Okay, I like those conversations,” I responded with a small smile.

Guest Post by: Meghan M. Recruiting the best talent and culture can be a heartbreaking process. While there’s nothing more exciting and fulfilling than finding the right person for a job, there are those times when – on paper or digital at least – the candidate seems a perfect fit, only to crash and burn within months of being hired. The tangible recruitment and training costs of these mis-hires can be high, and they also drain morale and energy from a team and company. So what happened?
