Personality tests like DISC, Myers-Briggs, Caliper, and others are a standard part of the hiring and onboarding processes in many organizations , but their results aren’t widely shared and discussed. For most employees, these personality tests can seem like a waste of time, or, worse, an invasion of privacy. What’s the value of these tests and how can we make better use of this kind of information while team building? Nathan Smith has his own approach.

There’s no doubt that hiring qualified people is important. Having top-notch talent who do quality work will help your organization reach its goals. Unfortunately, in an effort to get hiring right, some organizations have made their selection process an obstacle course. Take, for example, a prominent company in Seattle. It’s a great place to work. However, a less prominent employer in town, with whom they compete for employees, is winning the war for top talent.

The word “contributor,” not “employee,” will be a better representation of a worker in 2025, according to 47% of companies and 57% of workers. The findings come from a study from Randstad US , an HR services and staffing company in the United States. Workplace 2025 took an in-depth look at the views of more than 1,500 HR and C-suite executives and 3,100 workers across the U.S.,

“Eighty percent of companies say they offer flexibility, but it's a black market topic. You raise it [as an employee] and you're not taken seriously," Annie Dean, former attorney and current entrepreneur, told the New York Times last month. Dean founded Werk , a company dedicated to helping people find flexible work schedules. And while there aren't solid numbers to back up Dean's statement, it rings true to many of us.

Last week I had the pleasure of presenting a workshop based on metrics, evidence-based HR, and change management. The session was a lot of fun, because we were able to tie the three topics together in a variety of ways to help reiterate not only why each of them matters, but how each of them can really build value when used in conjunction with one another. HR is often using anecdotal information (if any at all), conjecture, and pure hope to make decisions, but we can do better.

A Data-Driven Approach to Company Culture. When Lazlo Block left his position as Senior Vice President of People Operations at Google, he did it with a bang: “The future of HR lies with data science,” he said, and promptly launched a stealth startup that will focus on people analytics. It’s true: bringing Big Data into HR is the wave of the future.

I think it’s fair to say we all want our learning to last. I think we call it ‘sticky’. We spend many hours reading, watching videos or in training classes, we want to see our efforts (and our expense) pay off. From a corporate perspective, CEB, a research firm, reports that sales representatives are forgetting 70 percent of the content that they receive in one week , and 90 percent in one month. That’s from the learner side of the equation.

One of the core topics in any orientation and onboarding program is company culture. We want candidates to see the company culture before they apply and during the hiring process so they know they’re a good fit. And we want them to fully immerse in the culture once they arrive. And I use the word “immerse” because some organizations are taking the challenge literally and creating cultural immersion programs.

Numbers and statistics can guide many decisions, however, many recruiters still rely heavily on instinct when it comes to sourcing and hiring. The idea of a “data-driven hiring cycle” is becoming more relevant than ever as the use of analytics becomes more attainable for many companies. A 2015 survey reported 43% of companies struggle with finding the talent analytics they need.

The millennial generation is now the largest population on the planet, according to Pew Research. With more than 74.5 million individuals aged 18-35, millennials recently surpassed the Baby Boomers as the predominant generation alive today. This means millennials are quickly becoming the key drivers of productivity in the workforce—and as they flood the market, businesses large and small need to be diligent about recruiting them.

I ran across this image the other day from last year’s HR Technology Conference. It reminded me of the times when an employee has said to me, “My manager is out to get me.”. In fact, I was conducting a training session with a group of managers recently and someone asked about having HR in the room when managers are coaching employees. My thought on this is “No, HR should not be in the room” when a manager is coaching an employee. Maybe if a manager is disciplining an employee. But not coaching.

A reader writes: I have a job I really enjoy, but the salary is low and turnover is very high. We’re constantly hiring as people cycle out — mostly through school job sites, but also largely through one particular recruiter, though she’s become less responsive as the turnover has stayed so high. I’m learning a ton so I want to stay awhile longer. However, mine is a really burgeoning field, so I’d also love to keep my ears open for other opportunities.

Making Company Culture a Priority – Even If Your Team Is Always on the Road. In 2015 alone, employees around in the United States took 488 million business trips , spending $302 billion. That’s a lot of free cocktails! While the occasional long-distance business trip pops up for about 10% of employees , other employees find themselves traveling shorter distances more regularly.

A couple weeks ago, I discussed the importance of customer service and shared Kelton’s 2016 findings that nearly 7 out of 10 HR decision makers reported they’ve regretted their HCM provider choice, predominantly due to poor service. The study concluded that the majority of respondents agreed that customer service is as important as or more important than product functionality, but only 35% believe their current provider is doing well with partnership.

Written by: Colette Peterman. There are many things to consider when thinking about implementing a new benefits system. Maybe the motivation is different: going from paper to electronic, wanting to streamline and centralize processes, and/or simply wanting something that’s more user friendly to the participant. Whatever the reasons are, there are many similar considerations to be aware of before pulling the trigger.

Despite years of hype, development, and openhanded spending, big data and business analytics haven’t lived up to their massive potential. Software vendors are having a hard time creating sustainable value, and customers aren’t getting an adequate return from their investments. And yet, where others are struggling, Visier is thriving. I believe it’s because of their unique and innovative approach to business—and more specifically, human resources—analytics.

I recently spoke with a VP of talent at one of the world’s largest firms. She told me that on a recent evaluation of more than 200 recruiters, those with domain expertise made more placements per month with stronger candidates. Domain expertise means the person was an accountant, engineer, store manager, sales rep, etc., before he/she started recruiting for these people. I also spoke to a number of staffing firm owners who said their best recruiters were all subject matter experts in niche areas.
