One of the most effective means of improving engagement and safety at any organization lies in ensuring every employee knows that they’re a valuable member of the team. And while many businesses offer employees Years of Service awards when they reach significant milestones, most companies fail to provide their employees adequate recognition throughout the year.

Last week I suggested that a sweeping strengths movement larger than we've ever seen could be coming. I defined strengths as, “your best means of contribution and contentment,” and wrote that few us have really tapped into the talents, traits, skills, knowledge, values, and more that are within us. And I commended us to seek humility as we seek our strengths.

A reader writes: My workplace wants to start giving out annual profit share bonuses in lieu of salary raises. Basically, the base bonus (which is based on how well the company does that year) would be multiplied by the number of years someone is there (so for the sake of simple math, if the base bonus is $500, then it would $1k for 2-year employees, $1.5k for 3-year employees, $2k for 4-year employees, and so on).

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.

This includes the social media posts they read, the promotional emails they receive and the conversations with past and present employees they have. With each interaction having so much power behind it, the way your company and your employees portray themselves really matters - especially to your candidates.

Happy anniversary, Google for Jobs. It has been just about a year since you made your debut, and despite all the hoopla at the time of your arrival, it's fair to say that most companies have brushed you off as just another Google tool. But, in the words of Mr. T: “I pity the fool." After all, 30 percent of all Google searches (about 300 million per month) are job related, and if you want to compete in the race for talent, you better play by Google's rules.

Do you have a detailed and accurate understanding of your total cost of workforce (TCOW)? If your organization is anything like most large businesses, the answer is no. Organizations are usually pushed to review their TCOW only when facing upheavals, crisis, or simply a pivot in the sector. This is because, in too many organizations, just finding the data can take several months, and as a result, this kind of overwhelmingly large project is only considered when it can no longer be avoided.

Hiring is projected to get a whole lot more complicated. For the first time in decades, there are more jobs open than workers to fill them. According to the June Openings and Labor Turnover Survey , there were just shy of 6.7 million open positions in April which is almost equal to the 6.6 million Americans searching for a job. While this creates a competitive challenge, it also brings us an opportunity to better our candidate experience.

HR fills the cracks of an organization, performing all the small and large tasks that don’t fit anywhere else. When accounting can’t manage it, HR performs payroll; when there isn’t a legal team on-site, HR verifies compliance and other regulatory concerns. Yet, perhaps the most important role HR plays within an organization is that of counseling, helping individual employees and teams work through problems and regain high rates of productivity.

Employee wellness has taken on a greater importance in the workplace over the past decade. Workers want to feel like their organizations are committed to them beyond measuring their productivity and contributions to the bottom line. They want a tangible connection between themselves and the company, and part of that is knowing that the organization cares about their well-being.

Diversity and inclusion (D+I) come as a package — you can’t have one without the other. But sometimes, organizations implementing diversity and inclusion programs put an unequal emphasis on the “diversity” part and forget about the “inclusion” part. It’s easy to think that the inclusion piece will simply just happen, because we’ve built workforces with inherently good people.

Susan was passionate about solving problems and building interdepartmental relationships. She had a sense of humor and could connect with just about anyone. Here’s the “but”: When Susan met with managers and employees during monthly team meetings, she did most of the talking.

As artificial intelligence makes further inroads into your daily work as a leader , you need to pay attention to soft-skill development because these uniquely human skills are what will differentiate your team members from the bots.

As more and more companies get rid of performance ratings, one questions remains: How do you manage compensation without employee ratings? The truth is, performance ratings systems do not work. While they can benefit top performers, performance ratings create a toxic culture that is not conducive to skill development and learning. Studies show that employees with both low and high ratings can lose up to 85% of their motivation to improve.
