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.

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.

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.

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.

Unlimited vacation. Free gym memberships. Nap pods. Such "perks" are increasingly commonplace—viewed as a smart engagement tool and a key strategy in driving workplace culture. But when it comes to improving work-life balance and helping employees feel rested and productive, is a nap pod really the answer? Perhaps not, according to some experts. “Many of these perks keep people at the workplace whether they're being productive or not," Lotte Bailyn, professor emeritus at the MIT's Sloan School o

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.

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

During the annual performance appraisal , self evaluation forms a crucial part, because it coomunicates to the manager or the supervisor how well an employee perceives their performance within the organisation. While the objective of self evaluation is to ensure that the employee and the management are on the same page, a lot of employees view this as a scope to blow their own trumpet and go overboard at times.

A happy workforce is a loyal and productive workforce. Boredom, frustration, overwork, underpay, can all leave a high-potential employee looking at his phone up to 150 times a day, or worse – looking at job ads. Many employees will lack the confidence to speak up about their situation, so from a distance it can seem like everything’s okay. But maintaining the status quo is often not enough.
