For years, many companies have relied largely on intuition and easily-captured metrics when it comes to People Analytics. But in the face of rapidly-evolving ideas, methods, and tools in this space, many people have been challenged to consider their trust in data and the science that it is—ideally—based on. Even when these new data-gathering technologies have been relentlessly tested and their insights supported , HR data can still be met with some degree of skepticism.

YES invites opportunity; NO closes the door on it. YES creates value; NO destroys it. YES is human. NO is mechanical. The leader who wants to build their business looks for ways to exchange mutual value with others; to find opportunities to respond to what others desire.

As unemployment rates continue to drop and the competition for talent in key roles heats up, talent acquisition leaders have little choice but to work smarter. Recruitment’s impact ripples out across the employee lifecycle. Every time a recruiter gets the right person in the right seat, the benefits from measurable improvements in employee performance has an impact on bottom-line outcomes such as new sales, product improvements, or increased patient satisfaction scores.

Mentoring and Engagement – Is there a connection? There are different perspectives on what employee engagement is in the workplace. It is a topic that drives most leaders in an organization crazy as they struggle to get a handle on what the whole engagement thing is all about.

What is morale? And why is it important to a team's success and a company's business goals? Morale is the capacity of a group of people to pull together persistently and consistently in pursuit of a common purpose,” says sociologist Alexander Leighton. Clearly, this is something everyone wants for their company. Good morale means employees are productive, collaborate better, miss fewer workdays, and feel more satisfied by their work.

When I first started learning about the use of big data in HR, I thought it was going to be just a waste of time. My initial impression was that it will take too much time for a bunch of weak and uncertain results. However, I soon realized that HR analytics actually derives a number of meaningful conclusions from what previously seemed like a big pile of useless data.

Employee engagement continues to be a challenge for organizations. I believe two of the reasons that companies struggle with engagement are 1) It’s hard to define and 2) it has a lot of moving parts. For example, employee motivation is a key driver in employee engagement. That’s why putting out free food, bean bag chairs, and a foosball table doesn’t create engagement.

If you’re in a leadership position, one of the easiest patterns to fall into is working in past processes. In the short term, this is typically an acceptable practice. In the long term, it can be career suicide. If you’re someone who is stuck in the past, there are ways to overcome any resistance you have toward the modern workplace, how people need to work, how to better interpret data or accepting new technologies and the impact on your work.

We all work long, hard hours. And that hard work can sometimes go without much recognition or appreciation. But it’s important to reward your employees for a job well done. Some surveys have shown that employee recognition has a direct correlation to employee satisfaction, and satisfied employees do better work and are less inclined to leave. Recognition makes employees feel appreciated: you're showing your peer, manager, or direct report that his or her work matters.
