GE becomes the latest major company to remove ratings from its performance appraisal system. Earlier this year Goldman Sachs did away with numeric ratings, which are thought to have a negative impact on employee motivation. But for many companies, removing ratings puts compensation into a black box — employees don’t know how their raises and bonuses will be decided, possibly undermining the goal of removing ratings.

Non-profit organizations face many of the same challenges as for-profit businesses, but usually with more limited resources. Over the past decade, the number of non-profits has increased by 30% : there is currently one non-profit for every 175 Americans. This means funding is more strained and uncertain than ever, and competition for talented non-profit leaders is even stronger.

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.

Everyone talks about the candidate experience and how we should improve it, but actually taking the time to analyze, review and improve takes more than just writing a blog post about it. Nearly 60% of candidates have had a poor candidate experience when applying for jobs. Courting candidates is not easy, but it certainly becomes even more challenging if candidates are having poor experiences.

Every employee needs feedback—including both constructive criticism and praise for a job well done. Traditionally, this feedback is given during the annual performance review, in which managers and employees set time aside once a year to discuss their mutual goals and expectations.

It’s an outcome of engagement. When you’re engaged at your workplace, you feel better about your life. You feel appreciated, recognized, and connected to the people with whom you spend the lion’s share of your day.

It’s a common assumption that most organizations don’t do succession planning. IMHO, the reasons include the high level of administration involved with succession planning and the difficulty in identifying and developing talent. It’s hard enough to figure out what the business world will look like in three years, much less what the organization’s talent needs will be.

I’ve seen a new term lately called “ghosting.” The Urban Dictionary defines it as “the act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone.” It’s done in the hopes that the person being ghosted will come to the realization on their own that the other person wants nothing to do with them and they’ll just go away. The idea being that the person doing the ghosting is avoiding a difficult conversation or hurting another person’s feelings by ignoring them.
