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.

I’ve written a lot about Millennials and the massive impact they are having on the future of work. The largest generation in today’s workforce, they are the generation perfectly matched to ride the wave of digital technology and mobility that came of age more or less at the same time they did, and they’ve helped turn traditional business practices on its ear.

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.

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.

As a tech company, we experience first hand the challenges faced by HR and business leaders in the hyper-competitive tech talent market. While the race to out-innovate with new ideas and products fuels the technology industry at large, the competition between companies is fought most pervasively as on the talent front lines. Innovation and ideas come from people, and being able to attract, retain, and develop the best people creates the real competitive advantage. 90% of technology CEOs are conf

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.

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.

What is Paul Thinking

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?).

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.

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.

Pokemon Go is the rage right now.

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. .
