'It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. I only invited some of my employees to my birthday party, and now I’m in trouble. I had a birthday part and invited some of my direct reports. I was later asked by my boss whether I had a birthday party and invited direct reports and whether the party was discussed. When I responded that yes, I had a party and that it may have been discussed as far as the venue and the dress I was wearing, she stated that could be seen as favoritism.

'Toxic employees - we all know them when we work with them. They are the folks that always have something negative to say in a meeting.

Toxic employees make their teammates 54 percent more likely to quit and cost employers up to three times more in hiring fees, according to our latest report, “ Toxic Employees in the Workpla

'Recently there’s been a bit of backlash against the rising tide of mobile recruiting. When hearing about mobile recruiting trends , some have argued the whole thing is a sham. They talk about how companies are simply profiting from the idea of mobile recruiting but recruiters aren’t. According to pundits and thought leaders, the numbers are promising, but they’re used to promote products that don’t need to exist in the marketplace.

'Business meetings are the bane of our professional lives. According to The Muse, managers spent between 35 – 50% of their time in meetings. That’s a pretty significant number. You might be saying, the answer to this is get rid of meetings. But here’s the thing. I doubt that meetings are going away.

'There’s really no other way to say it: if you’re not adapting to mobile, you’re falling behind. Phones and tablets are taking over, and if you’re still looking for candidates the old-fashioned way, candidates are going to gloss over your job ads or, even worse, never see them at all. With 72% of candidates looking at career sites on their phone, you’d think companies would wise up and deliver career sites that take advantage of smartphones.

'When openings become available in your company, you want to shout: “We are hiring!” far and wide. But before you start yelling from the mountain tops, take a step back and ask yourself: “Where should I start looking for candidates? Should I look internally or externally?”. This is a dilemma for hiring officials. While many companies have "promote from within" policies (where you need to start at the bottom and work your way up), others focus their efforts on the outside candidate pool.

Do you believe in the universal adage “absence makes the heart grow fonder?” This saying that is often associated with romance, love, closeness and other things related to the heart. As a matter of fact, I subscribe to the saying because, quite often I miss the things that I highly value and treasure. However, for people in management positions, the term “absence” does not contain any romantic or lovely connotation.
