165,000 reasons meaning 165,000 dollars. But, you probably figured that out. What the heck is associational discrimination? Well, funny you should ask because, last Summer, I had a post about it. In the context of the Americans with Disabilities Act , associational discrimination occurs when a company excludes or otherwise denies equal jobs or benefits to someone because he or she has a relationship with or associates with someone else who has a disability.

I used to think that recruiters were just the same as human resources professionals. I was wrong. I was in fact very wrong. Our jobs, although similar in terms of who we report to in the corporate organizational structure, are distinctly unique. Great not just good recruiters require a different set of skills, abilities, and competencies altogether to engage, qualify and recruit talent to our organization(s).

The first meeting was magical. Sparks flew. The chemistry seemed just right. It feels like a perfect fit, and you can’t wait to see them again. So, now what? Do you make the next move? Do you call? If so, how long do you wait before picking up the phone? Do you come off as desperate if you get in touch too soon? Or seem disinterested if you wait too long?

I got invited to LinkedIn! Yeah, me, the guy who was blacklisted from LinkedIn because I tend to write stuff that isn’t so flattering about the organization. Before I tell you what I learned while at LinkedIn, I have to tell you that I had to sign an NDA the moment I walked into the building! So, what I’m about to say is what I can say without getting myself in trouble.

If you haven’t seen it, there’s an interesting article over on the Harvard Business Review blog titled, “ Don’t Let Your Company Culture Just Happen. ” My big takeaway from the article was that in order for employees to be engaged, they have to fit with the culture. Meaning that cultural fit needs to be an important part of the recruiting process. There are lots of companies that do this – hire for attitude and fit, train for skills.

I accept LinkedIn invitations from anyone. Some people agree with this strategy, others disagree. My logic is that I'm happy to connect with as many people as possible. And if I can help any of them out, even better. As a result, I have many LinkedIn connections whom I have never met, let alone worked with.

How well are you communicating your most important company information to employees? The answer has as much to do with the medium as with the message. And most of the time, that message isn’t being received. The problem of disconnected communication channels at work isn’t a new one. Companies have been trying to figure it out for years by communicating with employees through snail mail, paper memos, faxes, emails, intranets, digital signage, and more.

There’s an old saying that says, “Employees don’t leave jobs, they leave managers.” And it’s often true. Throughout my career, I’ve talked to hundreds of employees who love the company and their work, but they can’t stand their manager. So they leave. Sometimes they will just transfer to a different department or another location. Sometimes they will leave the organization all together.

<datascience.berkeley.edu> …Okay, so much has been written in the news about companies doing away with performance ratings. GE is probably the most famous company to make this change. But companies such as Microsoft, Dell , Adobe, Deloitte and Accenture have also (somewhat less famously) recently re-designed their performance management process, eschewing the formal annual review + rating in favor of more ongoing feedback and check-ins.

Over the last week I’ve received more than half a dozen emails from people looking for their first foray back into the HR realm after making a move to a new city, taking time off for childcare/maternity leave, and other similar stories. It’s a challenge, but this is easier than breaking into HR in the first place if you have some sort of track record to point to.

…Okay, so over the weekend I read an outstanding blog post from CEB here. It talks about how to distinguish between high performers in their current roles (who are doing good work but may not be a good fit at higher levels) versus the kind of talent that has the potential, desire and commitment to keep progressing. It turns out that – if you are in fact like 83% of companies – only 15% of your high performers are promotable multiple levels above where they are now, and 55% of t
