Recruitment of top talent and skilled workers these days is undoubtedly getting harder. Recruiters and managers blame it on the quality of the labor pool—and many job applicants so lack the necessary skills. But that's only one aspect of a complex problem: the real enemy might be your online job application. A recent study found that companies with 45 or more fields to complete on an application lose a whopping 88.7 percent of potential candidates who abandon the process before completion.

Data from the U.S. Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey shows that there continues to be more job openings than hires being made. Companies simply cannot hire fast enough to keep up with their workforce demands and competition is fierce for those high potential people who will deliver innovative solutions or go above and beyond for customers.

Your company exists for a reason: The founders saw a problem in the world and they came up with a profitable solution. For employees at the top levels of the company, this may be obvious; they probably know exactly what their job is working to solve. Employees who are farther down the line may not be so lucky. In fact, an alarming 61% of employees don’t even know what their company’s mission statement is.

I recently received this question from an HR Bartender reader: Hi – I need a labor law attorney who maybe would consider pro bono work or free advice. My goal here isn’t to call someone out, but maybe this is the wrong question. We would all like free legal advice. Myself included. So, simply asking for free legal services isn’t the answer. Labor attorneys have to make a living, just like the rest of us.

It’s not just about giving and taking anymore. Recent research by Adam Grant and Reb Rebele shows that the type of giving matters – specifically whether you are a “selfless” or a “self-protective” giver.

As the saying goes, “To err is human.” We all experience small errors and mishaps throughout our daily lives. These setbacks are no fun, often complicating our day, our work, and adding to stress levels. Even though stress can have a very real impact on employees physically, it often begins as a mental process. When facing life’s setbacks, the way employees view the experience can either intensify—or minimize—the resulting stress response.
