Today’s Time Well Spent from our friends at Kronos reminds me of that old saying, “ Good, Fast, or Cheap – Pick Two ”. The saying represents the idea that we can get quality quickly, but it will cost us. If we want it quickly and inexpensively, then it might not be that good. And to get something good at a low price, it might take some extra time. In this case, we’re applying the concept to staffing the operation.

No matter how much we might not want to admit it, unconscious biases influence a vast majority of our decisions. This is due to the fact that our brains can consciously process 40 pieces of information per second —while we unconsciously process 11 million pieces. So, in order to keep up with all of the stimuli around us, we create mental shortcuts that ostensibly make decision-making easier.

We all know that stress kills creativity. According to a research , if a person is happy they will exude higher energy and creativity levels. Sadly, employee happiness has not been such a priority, and businesses tend to focus solely on keeping their customers and clients happy. However, there is a deeper connection between a happy employee and a satisfied customer.

Many organizations and survey software providers use the terms “employee pulse surveys” and “always-on survey” (or variations of always-on, such as “continuous feedback” or “real-time feedback”) interchangeably. While this makes sense on the surface, pulse surveys are technically more similar to annual employee engagement surveys than to true always-on surveys.

I was recently in a meeting with human resources professionals where the subject of employee engagement came up. And it’s obvious after that conversation, the term “employee engagement” has officially jumped the shark. So, you might be asking yourself, “Then why are you writing about employee engagement?” It’s a great question. The answer is because, regardless of what you call it, employee engagement is important.
