There are moments in life that you anticipate with great joy and fear: graduation, marriage, the birth of a child, a big promotion or a trip to a foreign country. Last week, I had the opportunity to experience traveling to China for the first time, and it certainly turned out to be one of those great moments of a lifetime. I was invited to speak at the first HR Technology China conference presented by LRP Publications and China Star.

“People are our greatest asset.”. Does your company live this adage? We’ve heard this aphorism so often we’ve become numb to its profound truth. And for many, if not most organizations they are empty words. But if your organization wants to win the escalating and spreading global battle for talent , you’ll need to ensure they mean more than that. To win, you’ll need a new talent management strategy.

Growing a business is a challenge.

In recent years, outsourcing has become a potent strategic weapon for many businesses.

Often managers, executives and HR professionals feel anxious about conducting performance reviews. While a performance review may prove challenging for some managers, these discussions are valuable for strengthening bonds with A-players and getting underperforming employees back on track. This also presents a perfect time for leaders to check in on their employees and test their engagement levels as well as get an idea of how employees feel they are performing. 43% of highly engaged employees re

Every executive team understands that company culture is a vital, if often overlooked part of their strategy. Culture is neglected because it is always essential but often not urgent. Why? Executive teams often believe they are communicating their values more clearly than they actually are. The reasons for this are simple. We tend to overestimate how much we are communicating and the fidelity with which it is received.

Not one person raised their hand. I get it. Recruiting is tough right now. But not one person raised their hand. I could understand if half of the audience didn’t raise their hand, but not one.

“Change before you have to.”. -Jack Welch. Culture change or evolution is one of the most challenging projects for a leadership team to undertake. In fact, culture change is so difficult that many leadership teams choose to not address it all, or take a top-down approach that mandates a new set of priorities. The cost, in either case, is lower employee engagement, and performance that suffers across the board.

It’s almost impossible to read an article about company culture that doesn’t talk about its impact on employee performance. Yet for all of this coverage, there is very little public data for leadership teams that supports this relationship. We can do better.

The more I write about engagement and motivation for business, the more convinced I become that there are a finite number of rules in the world and those rules are simply repurposed for whatever context we humans play (or work) in. The rules that govern how we should act at home are pretty much the same as the rules we should follow at work. Remember the book – “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” ?

Does your internal company culture impact your external brand? Yes. Think about company culture as your organization’s identity to the world outside the four walls of your office. Every interaction your employees have with customers, suppliers, even friends and family impacts how your company is perceived. When your company seeks to create one image, but doesn’t live up to it, your brand will be perceived as inauthentic.

In the past few years, I’ve personally reviewed 150-200 new recruiting apps and while some have the potential to be important, most miss the mark in some way. As I review these apps I always filter them on the problem being solved and the following biased criteria: Improving quality of hire is more important to me than process efficiency. I prefer solutions that fully address all aspects of the hiring process including job analysis, sourcing, interviewing and recruiting.

If the team wasn’t delivering, replace the talent; if they were delivering, recognize them for their service every 5 years… times are changing and managers own HR.

Most of the time, relocation programs are the focus of large corporations, companies with many branches or office locations, and fast-growing companies who need to pull in as much talent as possible as quickly as possible. While that attitude may have had a legitimate basis in the past, thanks to shifts in the relocation industry, it is no longer applicable.
