Good management is important. We all know this. In fact, multiple studies have shown that not getting along with a manager is often the strongest influence on employee engagement—and eventual departure. Or, at least, that's what we thought. According to new research from IBM on why employees quit, the old HR adage "people don't leave companies, they leave managers" is being called into question.

I ran across an article in Workforce magazine recently titled, “ How to Create a Single-Friendly Culture ”. It’s a good read so you might want to check it out. The big takeaway for me was that organizations need to realize that employees have lives outside of work. They have people and things that are important to them. Employees want to know that the company will be supportive of those things that employees hold dear.

Employee engagement surveys are often the first tool HR leaders use to start creating a data-driven strategy for their company. However, when it comes to deciding what questions to ask in your survey, all is not created equal. The questions you ask are incredibly important in terms of both the data you collect , and the signal you are sending to your people by asking each one.

While the Fair Labor Standards Act says that employers must keep records of all hours their employees work, it does not prescribe a specific timekeeping system or method. From that standpoint, the key is to choose a process that works for you and your company—as long as the information is complete and correct. For most companies, this involves some system of sign off before they submit an employee’s time card to payroll.

Over the years, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about the right way to get a job. I think it only makes sense to talk about the right way to resign when you leave a job. Because there is a right way to do it. Even if the organization is terrible and your boss is a jerk , it’s important to resign the right way. That doesn’t mean you can’t be honest and authentic.

The large growth we’ve seen at Pets Best supports this. The number of companies offering our pet insurance as a voluntary benefit in 2017 has increased over 134% since 2013.

With voluntary resignations at an all-time high and unemployment rates historically low, employee retention is a key objective for most HR organizations, and employee turnover is the single most prevalent HR metric. However, knowing your turnover rate does little to support strategic business plans. To achieve true insight, a more in-depth analysis of what’s causing turnover in different parts of the organization is required.

Securing employment is not easy. You need to write a CV or resume that’s going to strike a chord with an employer who will sift through dozens of applications and think nothing of tossing an imperfect application aside. If you’re among the select group of candidates who gets called for interview, that requires an altogether different skill set. The application and interview process can prove challenging for any candidate, sometimes even more so for candidates with a disability.

But employee engagement isn’t the result of some inspirational decals on the walls, a product, or even a strategy—it’s an ultimate goal. You can create a workplace that supports and encourages employees to do great work and excel in their careers by giving them the time and attention they need to develop and grow.
