"Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal." - Albert Einstein. With all due respect to one of the twentieth century's greatest minds, few among us would argue that technological progress has put us behind. (Do we really still want to be using carbon paper, Correct-o-type and only getting cash between the hours of 9 – 3 at the local bank?).
As you know, on July 6, 2015, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published its proposed changes to the overtime regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Under the Act, to be exempt (from overtime), an employee must meet 3 requirements: The employee must be paid a minimum weekly salary; The employee must be paid on a salary rather than on an hourly basis.
Between the endless mobile apps, system platforms and now wearable technology - just to name a few - there are a multitude of “helpful” tools for your employees to get their jobs done. The perfect tech solution to create the best team just isn’t a reality; and there is such thing as too much technology in talent management. Leaders must create a balance between human interaction and technology for effective talent management leadership.

Sourcing candidates is an art, and like all art forms, it’s as difficult as it is rewarding. How do you know which avenues are working, and which aren't? What’s the line between sticking with good sources and trying new ones? When you’re trying to build better methods of finding great hires, it can be difficult to know the best practices and what to avoid.

Back in 1997, Tom Peters wrote an article for Fast Company magazine titled “ The Brand Called You ”. It’s a good read and was the first time I recall hearing about personal branding. The logic being that companies build their business on brand reputation; individuals need to do the same. In today’s technology driven world that means individuals have to consider their activities on social media as part of their brand.

The recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report noted some trends in the world of work. As the economy (still) slowly recovers from the recession, jobs are improving, salaries are rising, but unemployment is still staggering behind. Small businesses need to take special note of these movements in employment. While it might make some impact on your competitors, there are important things you need to know and how these trends affect you as a small business.
It's hard to believe it's the end of summer. :-( We may not be ready to let go of picnics (and double scoops of ice cream), but we are looking forward to the fall. That's because for most businesses, the last four months of the calendar year are typically the busiest. This doesn't just pertain to retail and seasonal shopping. Rather, the pace of business picks up across the board with the prevalence of conferences, continuing education opportunities, and end-of-year budget usage.
Your job as a hiring professional isn’t just to find the best fit for your company and the job at hand. After all, who’s to say the job candidate you want also wants you? Chances are, your first-choice candidate isn’t just interviewing with your company, but with a handful of others — which is why it’s equally important to sell your company and the position to candidates.

In today’s complex healthcare environment, navigating third-party relationships has become even more challenging—whether it’s vendor relationships, employee activities, or patient-facing interactions. Left unmanaged, these conflicts can compromise trust, regulatory compliance, and even organizational reputation. So, how can healthcare teams stay ahead?
Leaders do have to tell people exactly what to do when a person isn't yet competent--and confident--about the task or assignment. (The whole "leader" thing isn't just about high-concept and vision). But how do you develop managers who are knowledgeable and committed? You can build increased confidence and deeper understanding by asking questions designed to help them make their own discoveries and decisions.
<parksandrecbusiness.com> …So this evening I was reading a Sci-Fi/Political Thriller called Here Comes Earth by William Lee Gordon. Without spoiling too much of the (highly recommended) read here, I wanted to share an question asked by one of the main characters during one of the book’s many expositions. To elucidate his ideas, he poses the question: “What is the difference between leadership and manipulation?

If you’re looking for a way to quickly bring new managers and leaders up to speed, psychologists say you might find inspiration in a surprising place. In fact, they suggest that you take a page from the pre-school playbook, and implement a version of Show & Tell in the workplace. You remember Show and Tell? Where kids proudly hold out something to their peers for observation and then explain why it matters?

Due to recent government audits, time theft has become a hot topic. Government officials caught 60 federal workers cheating on their time sheets. According to the reports, some of the federal employees were out fishing, golfing, gambling or traveling during their claimed working hours. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Following the White House proposal to ensure US workers are in line with overtime pay, the Labor Department is focused on determining which workers are eligible for time-and-a-h
<bentleymasterminds.com> …So on Tuesday I wrote the first part of a two part post exploring the big learnings I took from great bosses I’ve had throughout my career. Part one covered my first three bosses – today I want to talk about the last three: Manager #4: . I moved into my first Manager role – from Generalist to HRM – after my prior boss (#3) left the Company to pursue other opportunities.
by Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – Engagement is an individual choice on a perpetual continuum influenced by leaders and managers, especially. I’ve been asked a couple of times recently, “Do you think ‘ employee engagement ’ has become just another business buzzword?”. It’s a valid question and one that often arises from a lack of understanding – what drives engagement and why should we care?
This HR lady is fired up! Lately, there is no shortage of posts and articles about Human Resources not being strategic, not being valued, and needing to change in order to make everyone else in the C-Suite feel better. From articles in HBR (including their current magazine cover saying “It’s Time to Blow Up HR”), to Forbes to the Korn Ferry Institute , people are questioning whether or not HR can be strategic, what they need to do to become strategic and whether we shoul

<www.forbes.com> …So I’m relatively early in my HR career. Out of my undergraduate program in 2009, I completed my MBA and Master of Human Resource and Industrial Relations over a two year period. Since graduating, I’ve had five great roles in four(ish) great years with six great bosses. …I am a moody person by nature… and I would be lying if I said that I haven’t had up times and down times over the course of my career to date.
I’m traveling this week and am sharing one of my most popular posts from 2013. Might be worth a re-visit! Skills shortages in 2020 will rise to an entirely new level. And I’m not talking about STEM skills, although they’re critical. Or the ability to speak multiple languages, which needs to be more common in the U.S. Or even the readiness of college graduates to take a place in the economy, which a majority of employers report is lacking.
Okay this will be a short post today informed by a post I was putting together for HRexaminer.com and a conversation that Im having on Facebook right now about what else employee engagement. It wouldn’t be 2015 if it werent about employee engagement.

…Not the Solution.” – John Boudreau and Steven Rice. <www.hrstrategyforum.org> This morning I read a powerful quote in a Harvard Business Review piece here from John Boudreau and Steven Rice. In the piece, the authors note that easier than ever access to best practices, new research, tools and ideas makes it tempting to reach for the latest off-the-shelf solution to whatever challenge one’s team or organization is facing (as opposed to really ruminating on the pr
A successful hiring manager recognizes that personality type plays a major role in the hiring process. While some people have no problem walking into an interview and answering questions rapid-fire style, others find this totally daunting. For shy candidates, the hiring process can become a nightmare. Working with these individuals and helping to understand how to make them comfortable is important, as it takes all personality types to make a business thrive.
