Years ago, I worked for a boss that had a daily habit of three Venti Starbucks. Early in the morning, he would walk by my office and if I was there, he would stick his head in the office and say, “Let’s get some coffee.” I attribute some of my fondness of Starbucks to these meetings. More importantly, I realized if I came into work early, I got uninterrupted quality time with my boss.

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.

At this year’s WorkHuman Conference , pioneered by Globoforce, I learned about a new employee benefit called social justice PTO. We’re familiar with the concept of PTO (paid time off). Instead of employees having vacation days, sick days, etc., they have one bank of time to use as they choose. Social justice PTO is paid time off but for social issues, like protests or marches.

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.

The workplace of the future isn’t a hierarchy — it’s a network. In fact, at many companies, the change has already taken place. Peers have a better sense of what each employee is contributing, and some employees may report to multiple managers, depending on the project. That’s one reason formal performance reviews are being phased out.
