I believe one of the key metrics in recruiting is time to fill. It’s also a very flexible metric. Traditionally, we think of time to fill as the time it takes from the job requisition being approved to the job offer being accepted. If the requisition is approved on April 1 and the job offer is accepted on April 29, then time to fill for that one job is 29 days.

There are moments in life that you anticipate with great joy and fear: graduation, marriage, the birth of a child, a big promotion or a trip to a foreign country. Last week, I had the opportunity to experience traveling to China for the first time, and it certainly turned out to be one of those great moments of a lifetime. I was invited to speak at the first HR Technology China conference presented by LRP Publications and China Star.

Often managers, executives and HR professionals feel anxious about conducting performance reviews. While a performance review may prove challenging for some managers, these discussions are valuable for strengthening bonds with A-players and getting underperforming employees back on track. This also presents a perfect time for leaders to check in on their employees and test their engagement levels as well as get an idea of how employees feel they are performing. 43% of highly engaged employees re

I am amazed sometimes by how technology is impacting the world we live in. For example, SpaceX being so successful in reusing spaceships may not have a great impact today, but it does change the way we look at the future, and what we understand by science fiction. Human Resource is one of those industries which does not quite make its way into science fiction books, and no kid grows up thinking of revolutionizing the technology inside this particular market.

A couple weeks ago, I participated in a webinar with my friends at SilkRoad on “ HR’s Role in Bridging the Skills Gap.” During the webinar, we asked listeners about some of the strategies they were using, such as training, succession planning, and knowledge management. Afterward, I received an email with a question. And, it’s a tough question too. How do you overcome management saying, “We’re not that kind of company.”?

Last year, I saw something at a conference that surprised me. A speaker asked an audience of about 100 human resources professionals – who has a kickass talent acquisition function. The surprise? Not one person raised their hand. I get it. Recruiting is tough right now. But not one person raised their hand. I could understand if half of the audience didn’t raise their hand, but not one.

Every executive team understands that company culture is a vital, if often overlooked part of their strategy. Culture is neglected because it is always essential but often not urgent. Why? Executive teams often believe they are communicating their values more clearly than they actually are. The reasons for this are simple. We tend to overestimate how much we are communicating and the fidelity with which it is received.

In the whirlwind of bringing on a new hire, it’s easy for employers to skimp on the employee onboarding process in the hopes that this person will start being productive faster. As research shows, however, employees who experience longer, structured onboarding programs gain proficiency 4 months faster than employees who have been through shorter onboarding programs.

It’s been a busy spring for the ExactHire team, but we managed to fit in 2 MondayFunday events. March featured a cut-throat Nerf shootout (sounds violent, but I can assure you it was not), and April saw us channel our calm, creative, contemplative sides as we painted and decoupaged (?) picture frames for the mothers in our lives. Two extremes, I know, but both activities helped us accomplish our planned objectives: We had fun!

It’s almost impossible to read an article about company culture that doesn’t talk about its impact on employee performance. Yet for all of this coverage, there is very little public data for leadership teams that supports this relationship. We can do better. I’ll amend that earlier statement to say that there is very little public data that is easily digestible.

The more I write about engagement and motivation for business, the more convinced I become that there are a finite number of rules in the world and those rules are simply repurposed for whatever context we humans play (or work) in. The rules that govern how we should act at home are pretty much the same as the rules we should follow at work. Remember the book – “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” ?

Historically, a manager’s responsibility was clear cut: get your team delivering results. If the team wasn’t delivering, replace the talent; if they were delivering, recognize them for their service every 5 years… times are changing and managers own HR. Today, the role of a manager is much more complicated. The talent shortage, as warned in the late 90s by McKinsey & Co. , is real, and companies need people more than people need companies.

“Change before you have to.”. -Jack Welch. Culture change or evolution is one of the most challenging projects for a leadership team to undertake. In fact, culture change is so difficult that many leadership teams choose to not address it all, or take a top-down approach that mandates a new set of priorities. The cost, in either case, is lower employee engagement, and performance that suffers across the board.

One day I asked the usual question, “What kind of job are you looking for?” The client gave the same answer as so many who had before, “I will do anything, I’ll take any job.” I had been looking for a better way to ask this question to receive a more specific answer, so I could appropriately establish a client’s real employment desires.

Does your internal company culture impact your external brand? Yes. Think about company culture as your organization’s identity to the world outside the four walls of your office. Every interaction your employees have with customers, suppliers, even friends and family impacts how your company is perceived. When your company seeks to create one image, but doesn’t live up to it, your brand will be perceived as inauthentic.

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.

Achieving gender parity in the workplace has never been a simple goal. The obstacles to true equality are abundant. It seems that every time humanity manages to scale one, more pop up on the horizon. The good news is that the research is clear: Diverse companies perform better. Yet more recent research suggests that women and people of color who bring up diversity issues or hire a nonwhite or female employee are actually seen in a negative light by their coworkers.

When Michael Strahan’s departure from ABC’s Live! was announced last week, everyone was shocked – most of all his co-host, Kelly Ripa. If you’re in the dark here, Strahan and Ripa have co-hosted Live! since 2012, but early last week the network abruptly announced that Strahan would leave his post and join Good Morning America instead. The big wrinkle is that Ripa – who has hosted the show for more than 15 years — found out Strahan was leaving merely minutes before it was announced publicly

Some may argue that a bad work day could have nothing to do with the job itself. And that’s true—but rarely.
