We’re all familiar with this game, right? Often played at parties, it’s a great way to get to know someone or learn new things about old friends. Let’s apply it to increasing employee engagement , something that still eludes many HR leaders. Below we’ll share three stats that have come from news articles within the last few weeks. Then, it’s up to you to choose which two are true and which one is false.

The hiring process is a big deal. Sorting through applications, setting up interviews, and undergoing the interview process all to hopefully find the perfect candidate is time-consuming, yet essential to keep your company moving forward. How do you engage top candidates and avoid not-so-great ones? A 2016 Connexys survey found 74 percent of HR decision makers said the scarcity of talent is only increasing.

Red Adair, the renowned oil fighter who rose to prominence in the ‘50s and ‘60s once stated, “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." Although this quote comes from a time and profession far removed from those in which we operate today, the message may hold more truth now than ever before.

Recruiters with large numbers of people in their talent networks are always in high demand. The more people there are to choose from, the more options for high quality talent employers have. Not only that, but a strong talent network also helps companies save on time and hiring costs and lowers turnover. So, if you haven’t already done so, it’s time to plug a good talent network into your existing system.

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.

In my last post , I discussed how social media can be used to identify, engage with and hire talent. But another important aspect of social media recruiting is growing your presence once you get online. Like everything else, your social media presence needs an accelerator or advocate to help it grow. And lucky for you, the best resource you have to take your social media recruiting to the next level sits right in front of you (or at least in the same building): your employees.

Evolving your human resources processes sometimes means updating to the latest tools and introducing new systems to your workforce. But, for many companies, new tools come with new skill sets. For example, filling out a performance review once per year is something most managers have learned, as using performance reviews is fairly pervasive across industries and has been for many, many years.

As the web continues to dominate every waking second of our lives, the proliferation of job titles and entire departments under the umbrella of “user experience” has grown dramatically. After all, if we’re going to spend most of our time on a computer or a mobile phone, or engaging with some sort of device, it’s crucial to work with people who can make that experience, simpler, more effortless, and easier for the user.

A ROCKSTAR company culture leads to ROCKSTAR employees. Great company culture is really important, and not just the visible components, but it’s the invisible components which really matter.

Not all goals are the same. That was a big takeaway for me from this year’s WorkHuman conference, hosted by Globoforce. Maybe on some level I knew this, but speaker Caroline Adams Miller really made me focus on the topic by discussing the difference between performance and learning goals. Performance goals are ones that focus on an outcome. The outcome (or goal) is based on performance.

HR Pros have heard for years that it’s their turn for a “seat at the table” and that they need to “get strategic” about people management.

XpertHR’s latest research into HR roles and responsibilities has for the first time in the last 14 years of doing the survey, found that the role of HR data and HR software is a key priority, particularly for private

Want to be a true HR leader within your business? Learn to influence others. When you think about it, there are few decisions that HR makes with ultimate authority. A significant portion of what we accomplish comes through the influence, coaching, and guidance of our peers, executives, and staff. I’d even go so far as saying that the majority of what we are proud of as HR leaders comes from what we accomplish without making the final decision ourselves.

We’ve talked often about individual engagement. But what about teams? That’s what this reader note is all about. Hi Sharlyn. What are the most important questions a company should ask to know if the team is engaged? What are the tale-tell signs that company should look out for on disengagement? I think this is a great question. So much of the work we do involves teams.

Pokemon Go is the rage right now. I knew nothing about it, and so I slinked around the internet trying to figure out why my neighbors were walking around the parking lot like dazed zombies with their noses glued to their phones. I then played it cool and acted like I was up to speed the entire time by throwing around terms like “gyms” and making sure my co-workers knew that the plural of Pokemon was still Pokemon. .

Indeed for many of us things are better than ever — so good, in fact, that more and more of us have an opportunity to seek the highest levels of personal fulfillment — even at work.

A great manager advocates for you, teaches you, challenges you, and motivates you. So the benefit of having a healthy, positive relationship with your manager is clear – it sets you up with a foundation for success. A bad manager – someone who doesn’t provide helpful feedback, adds stress instead of helping relieve it, and isn’t focused on supporting his or her team reach personal development goals – stalls your professional growth.

Wouldn’t it be great if recruiting were like baking? A few cups of experience, a tablespoon or two of technical know-how, a dash of just the right certifications. How easy it would be to fill positions if you could Weird Science your way to the perfect candidate. Unfortunately, as many of us know, finding someone whose life experience and education are crafted just for the position you’re filling is often a pipe dream.

Want to be a better leader? Want to motivate and engage your employees to great success? The old way of doing things relied on collecting data, running numbers, and looking at spreadsheets. Employers motivated employees with bonuses and financial perks, but few authentic interactions with management. As neuroscience enters the world of leadership development, research tells us that the basis of leadership might be different than we thought and we may need to change the way we lead.

Last week I received excellent service from an Uber driver. When prompted to enter feedback on the app at the end of my ride, I rated my driver five out of five stars and added a comment about the exceptional service. I felt my opinion mattered, his assistance was admirable and it should not go unmentioned. In fact, you’re actually prevented from using the app again until you rate your previous driver.

The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration.

Incentive programs are sometimes more art than science. I think that is due to a variety of studies that contradict each other and gurus who do the same. That tension creates “gray” areas and they get filled with the “art” part of the design. The contradiction starts with the “incentives destroy intrinsic motivation” camp – which can happen if you focus on rewarding already intrinsically motivated behaviors (why would you do that anyway?).

Here’s a situation that may feel like déjà vu to some. You have just concluded a difficult conversation with Tim, one of your software developers; while Tim works hard, he is certainly not your best developer. Yet, he just left your office wondering why he has not been given a raise in the last four months. The irony? Tim has only been with your organization for five.
