Every business needs an employee handbook, right? This contains all those fun legal things like the fact that you're an at-will employee, that you need to comply with a code of conduct, and what the dress code is (among other things). So, it's a really, really important document. Except that maybe that's not true. Linda Itskovitz, VP of marketing for employee communications company GuideSpark, says the handbook is a very unimportant document. Because no one actually reads it.

With a few key strokes last month, the National Labor Relations Board , in a 3-2 decision down party lines, wiped away years of precedent and re-wrote, or, in its words “ refined,” the definition of a joint employer. In a ruling that will, if upheld through inevitable appeals, significantly impact the franchise, outsourcing and many other industries, the NLRB decided a California company, Browning-Ferris Industries, was a joint employer of workers hired by a staffing firm.

“Why aren’t they doing their work?” At some point in their career, every manager has asked themselves this question. Common as the question might be, it’s a much pricklier problem to actually tackle. Many businesses become so absorbed with productivity and numbers that they don’t attempt to root out the common problems of their workplace and instead compensate with short-term solutions. Or they fire and forget instead of getting employees back on track.

Succession planning is, at its best, the crux of your company's talent management strategy. If you do it right, every employee — from the entry-level associate to the VP — should have clear pathway to success in your company. But all too often, this isn't the case. Succession planning becomes focused on senior leadership only —instead of preemptively considering how employees at all levels will advance.

She hates going to the doctor or taking medicine, but finally went a week ago and got some antibiotics and cough medicine. The cough medicine has codeine in it, so she can’t take it during work hours. The antibiotics don’t seem to be helping. My issue is with her constant cough and nose blowing.
