I listened in on a panel discussion during this year’s SHRM Talent Management Conference when I hear a recruiter say, “My job is to fill openings.” And I thought to myself, “Hmm…no. A recruiter’s job is to fill the company’s talent pipeline.”. Now you might be saying to yourself, “Same thing.” But I’m not sure it is. Hear me out. From a process perspective, organizations hire employees from their talent pipeline.

A Professional Employer Organization , or PEO, allows businesses to outsource their administrative needs to a third party that specializes in these duties. This can include (but is not limited to) managing human resources, taking care of payroll, overseeing workers’ compensation issues, and offering employee benefits.

Hiring from within seems appealing to many companies, but is often not the best solution when filling management positions; despite familiarity or tenure. A company must challenge their business models to grow. In order to do this effectively, management should be the appropriate fit to support the organization. This is true regardless of whether the candidate is internal or external. Finding the right candidate for a managerial role can be tricky.

Prior to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Talent Management conference, I was able to attend the TAtech Spring Congress. The TAtech event was super interesting and I can’t wait to share with you some of my takeaways over the coming weeks. One of the big takeaways for me was a session by Jerome Ternynck, founder and CEO of SmartRecruiters. He was talking about making recruiting your organization’s competitive advantage.

Recent data suggests that about 7.4 million workers were displaced between January 2013 and December 2015. That's down from 9.5 million between 2011-2013, reflecting improving economic conditions. Freelance platforms, such as Uber, Lyft and TaskRabbit, can be thanked in part for the improvement. By providing sustainable alternatives to traditional “jobs," such platforms are prime for reintegrating people into the workforce.

Guest post by Kate Bischoff, Employment Lawyer & HR Consultant. Shoved deep in some desks of supervisors and employees, the employee handbook resides. For some, the handbook has lived in this dark corner of the workplace for years without a thought or care. In other workplaces, the handbook rests right there on the desk, enjoys frequent reading, and is referenced when needed. Where does your employee handbook live? Lawyers, like me, love handbooks (I’m not joking).

Organizations work very hard to provide consistency. They want customers to have a consistent experience. And I believe they want employees to have a consistent experience as well. That’s one of the reason companies develop benefit packages. They want to offer employees consistency in their workplace. There’s one challenge with that though…employees place a different value on things. Today’s Time Well Spent from our friends at Kronos reminds us that employees even value schedules differently.

There are many leadership styles: the authoritative leader who imposes their will, the transactional leader who trades reward for result and the consultative leader who listens and involves direct reports in decisions (to name a few). But the most effective leadership approach, according to Claudio Feser , a senior partner at McKinsey & Company, is inspirational leadership.

According to a Boston Consulting Group study , the ability to deliver on recruiting had a larger impact on revenue growth than all other HR areas, including onboarding and retaining new hires, managing talent, and developing leadership. Yet despite the importance of the talent acquisition function, recruiters still continue to rely on the embedded analytics in their Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) for the data they need to make fact-based decisions on recruiting and hiring.

There have always been hard to fill jobs, but we’re seeing more of this kind of issue than ever before. In fact, a recent CareerBuilder study puts the cost of open positions at nearly $800,000 annually, tallying up costs that ultimately hurt business performance.

One busy Friday , I met with a West Coast client in the morning and returned to my office to take a call from one of my East Coast clients in the afternoon. In the span of a few scant hours, both of my clients used exactly the same phrase to describe their current performance management programs: “Our performance management program is fine.”.

What’s the difference between employee satisfaction, employee engagement, and the employee experience? All sound like they fit together, but all have key differentiators necessary to an organization’s success. A well-known business proverb is that a client wants three things from a service provider: quality, timely service, and good a price. The service provider typically responds in exasperation, “Pick two, because you can’t have all three.”

Mindfulness by definition is, “the practice of maintaining a nonjudgmental state of heightened or complete awareness of one’s thoughts, emotions, or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis.” Seems simple enough, right? However, achieving a state of mindfulness as defined above, while balancing the busy schedule of a working professional seems like another impossible task on the grand to-do list. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the health and wellness industry hit a record high of $3.4

When I entered the workforce in 1997, I wanted to find an employer that would offer me a long and fruitful career; a goal I shared with the Baby Boomer generation before me. While this has been the experience of my wife, who has enjoyed 17+ years of employment with the company that recruited her out of college, I’ve worked for six companies in the almost 20 years since I graduated. One of the biggest things I’ve noticed? The social contract between employer and employee has changed.

Image a worldwhere the meek have really inherited the earth. Where the rich are now at the bottom of the economic pyramid and the poor are now the ruling class. Imagine working in a factory shooting screws for 10 years and the next Monday you show up and you’re the foreman. You are now large and in charge. Well, you don’t really have to image it.
