Cheesy coaching and athletic stories tell us to "envision our end result." Then we will know how to get from Point A to Point B. Although we all scoff at motivational speakers for saying these things, maybe they are onto something. While you are not training for a marathon as you are sifting through resumes (or maybe you are), you can still employ the “picture yourself crossing the finish line” philosophy.

I started my job as a writer and speaker in 2007. I began traveling around the country and telling people how much I hated HR and recruiting. It wasn’t a super sophisticated message, but I just wanted my fellow colleagues to know that they could do better. Like, don’t you want more for yourself? And, during the past ten years, there’s been a sea change in the way HR-related professionals talk about themselves and their dreams.

The day after college graduation, I moved from a small town in Pennsylvania to the bustling Washington, D.C. metro area without so much as a job or a plan. After a few lackluster interviews, I soon found myself working as a recruiter at a staffing agency. With one taste of successfully connecting a candidate with a client—I was hooked. And there I’ve stayed in recruiting, talent acquisition and, finally, employer branding for the past 17 years.

Schedule, workload, environment, salary, culture, values, management – these all affect employee satisfaction in one capacity or another. Although there’s no such thing as the “perfect job” (or the perfect employer, for that matter), odds are that high turnover means there’s an issue in one or more of these areas. Regardless of the cause, voluntary separation and employee satisfaction are invariably linked, making the former a reliable way to measure the latter – wh

by Miranda Nicholson, director of HR, Formstack. Picture this: you’re looking for a new job, hear about a new opening at a fantastic company, and submit your application. You have a great interview, receive an offer, and accept it in a heartbeat. This is an ideal scenario for a perfectly qualified candidate, but every HR professional knows there’s a lot more that goes into recruiting behind the scenes.

Nearly two-thirds of business owners do not have a succession plan , according to an article by CNBC. There could be lots of reasons for this, but the big one that comes to mind is the laborious process of succession planning. This isn’t to say that succession planning isn’t important; it’s just time-consuming. The good news is identifying and developing future talent doesn’t have to be a painstaking process.

Do you want transparency in your workplace? We’re willing to bet the answer is yes. After all, employees want more open communication. Companies are boasting the policies that support it. This is probably due in part to findings like these from a few years ago, claiming that 46% of employees were seeking new employment because of their current organization’s “lack of transparent leadership communication.”.

I’m beginning to see a shift in the conversation about Millennials. Instead of talking about generations from the standpoint of attitude or behaviors, the dialogue has moved to one of mindset. Frankly, it’s about time. I’ll use Boomers as an example, since I am one. Well, I’m Generation Jones , but no one talks about that distinction. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.

The latest survey from the prestigious Conference Board ranks Human Capital as the #1 challenge facing global CEOs. At first glance, senior HR executives might take that top ranking as a positive thing. However, that would be a mistake because Human Capital was classified as a strategic challenge (not an asset) and it has, unfortunately, remained the number one CEO issue for the last four years running.

While this number may seem small, note that a reported 50 percent of LGBT workers choose not to disclose their sexual orientation at work out of fear they might miss out on promotions, be discriminated against or treated differently.

According to research by Gallup, only 31.5% of U.S. employees were engaged in 2014. This means that more than half of the workforce was either not engaged or actively disengaged. Engaged employees are passionate about their work, committed contributors to their company and dedicated to its success. Disengaged employees are, naturally, the opposite. Signs of disengagement are easy to spot – lack of enthusiasm, less-than-stellar attitude, frequent absences, and apathy– to name a few.

The HR profession is mostly women (look around you at any event and you’ll see). Yet when we look at the representation of females in the C-suite, whether in HR or in general, the blend is more evenly mixed or even weighted towards men. Why? The 2016 HR Technology Conference had a new feature: the Women in HR Tech Summit. The event was a success by all measures, but one person heard about the summit and started to wonder, what do female executives in HR technology do differently?

Someone recently left a comment on HR Bartender with a mention of the old saying, “The customer is always right.” I think my opinion of the saying has changed over the years. There are times when the customer is absolutely right. The company messed up big time and they need to take responsibility for their mistake. Organizations have a huge opportunity to win a raving fan, instead of gaslighting the customer into thinking it was their own fault or simply apologizing with accepting responsibility

Twenty years ago, many Americans in the workforce used the vacation time available to them, taking the equivalent of about one month off every year. However, in the past few decades, Americans have slowly taken less time off and opted to spend more days in the office. The U.S. Travel Association’s Project: Time Off conducted a study to learn more about how Americans use vacation time — and why so many Americans don’t take advantage of their earned vacation days.
