On the surface, it seems obvious that sick employees would want to stay home and would be allowed to do so by their employers. Sick employees are uncomfortable and working will likely prolong their illness. Sick employees are also less productive and contagious, so they will hamper the overall performance of the workplace and potentially make other employees, managers, and customers sick.

Dear ReWorker, We have just over 50 employees, so we are subject to FMLA. An employee had a baby a couple of months ago and went on maternity leave. We were all 100 percent sure that she would quit to stay home with the baby. Her husband has a good job and her sisters are stay-at-home moms. So, we started working on replacing her. We hired her replacement and she's great!

Summertime means great weather and bus, train, or plane trips to even better weather and adventures, and if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself on a beach with a book in hand. When I take time off work to go on a vacation — a real one, where I’m not checking email every five minutes — I come back to work refreshed and ready to take my projects to the next level.

Overqualified candidates often pose a difficult challenge: experience, knowledge and self-sufficiency can be a big draw, but potential risks of boredom in the workplace and high turnover are enough to put any employer on edge. One out of every four workers with a bachelor's degree is overqualified for their job, according to a recent study , which means HR executives are likely to encounter this issue across a variety of positions and departments.

Young kids speak the truth, as anyone who’s ever been called out by a preschooler can tell you. I’ll never forget the time my three-year-old son looked at me with his innocent, big brown eyes and said, “Mama, you told me that’s a bad word. How come you just said it?” Nothing shines the light on a failed role model opportunity faster than being called on the carpet by a person who barely reaches your waist.

Diversity can have many definitions. Organizations often define it in the context of their culture. Generally speaking, diversity refers to the qualities, experiences, and work behaviors that make individuals unique. This includes age, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, disabilities, income, etc. It can also touch upon federal, state, and local equal employment opportunity laws, but…that’s for another post.

It seems like nearly every company I’ve worked with is struggling to attract and retain strong technical resources, whether their organization competes in the technology space or not. We can chalk up the demand to the advancement of science and technology’s role in nearly every industry, service, and product out there—combined with a shortage of the necessary STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) talent to support those needs.

Coffee is, for many of us, the first thing we use in the morning to awaken our bodies and minds before going off to work. It comes as a salvation and comfort throughout long and hard days in the office. But many people notice that as time goes on, they need more and more caffeine to get the same effect. It becomes a strange and habit of overstuffing without much pleasure and benefits it used to bring.

Every day of our lives, we face risks. To protect against these risks, we take preventative measures such as checking the weather forecast, maintaining our cars, or installing smoke alarms. Many people also purchase insurance policies to prevent risk. Injury or death at work is also a risk. Beginning in 1911, states adopted workers' compensation laws, and by 1963 all 50 states had some form of workers' compensation law in place.

Companies approach recruiting in different ways. Facebook’s method , for example, involves acquisitions for human capital and a six-week onboarding boot camp. Of course, that’s not the norm: On average, a recent study found it takes 42 days—and a cost-per-hire of $4,129—to fill an open position. That adds up, especially since Bloomberg recently reported that approximately 10,000 members of the baby boomer generation reach retirement age every day.
