It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. Dealing with a lazy and difficult coworker. I have a coworker who’s become comfortable in her job, meaning that she knows she is retiring in several years and seems to have thrown in the towel. My problem is the unprofessionalism in the office. Her job is to great visitors, but she sits at her desk with ear buds in and a scowl.

Imagine this. Your sales team just landed an introductory meeting with a huge potential client — a client that could easily increase your annual revenue by 25 percent if you land the deal. How do they prepare? The first thing the sales team does is learn everything they can about the potential client. They do research, gathering intel on the client's current performance and looking for insight on their vulnerabilities.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Imagine how different recruiting was just a few decades ago when a foreman in a Philadelphia railroad yard exited his office, crossed the workplace campus and was met by a mob of job candidates each morning. Not too long ago, word of job openings spread like wildfire through local neighborhoods and communities — all that separated the foreman and his next hire was a fence.

We know you’ve seen them, the 10,000 articles out there about candidate screening questions. The “how to’s” the “dos and don’ts” and, of course, the “best practices” articles that flood the internet.

It’s hard to attend an HR conference or visit an HR website and not hear the term “employee engagement.” Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends 2015 report rated culture and engagement as “the most important issue overall, slighting edging out leadership (the No. 1 issue last year)” in 2015. And for good reason. The employment landscape has changed dramatically in the past few decades.

Maybe the situation is more than just “mention” worthy.

We are a staffing company with employees in almost every state. Employees are non-exempt and submit hours worked via timecard. But what happens when we don’t receive one from the employee? Are we required to pay the employee even if we do not have a time card? The FLSA requires employers to pay nonexempt employees for all hours worked, regardless of whether employees submit timecards as required by the employer.

There’s a big difference between knowing what the strategy is and being able to connect with it. Bottom-line: the difference is engagement. Organizations create strategies all the time. They communicate those strategies on a regular basis. For example, you could read a company’s strategy in the news. That doesn’t mean you’re connected with the strategy.

The interviewer gave me some positive feedback and said he was happy with our conversation.

There’s a phrase “for the long haul” meaning long-term or over the course of a long time. The idea is that the “thing” you’re working on should last a long time. Creating something that lasts doesn’t mean it can’t be changed or improved. I think about my first iPhone. It’s changed and gotten better over time. Some of those changes are software and some hardware.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.
