There are a seemingly endless amount of factors that come into play when conducting a job interview. Was the candidate being truthful when they described themselves on their resume? Was the job description accurate and thorough enough to attract the right batch of candidates? Are those in charge of hiring actually clear on what they’re looking for as they expand their team?

Dealing with a bully, whether on the playground or the workplace, can be a traumatic, not to mention energy-sapping, experience. When a bully is present, everyone stays on edge, never knowing when—or who—the bully will strike next. What can you do when the workplace bully is in charge? How do you successfully work when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder to see if you’re next in his or her line of sight?

HR blogging used to be good. No, seriously, like ’86 Lakers good. There was Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and a few other guys who’s names I don’t remember. And, just like the ’86 Lakers, the old-school HR bloggers played like a team that wanted to win. But then, just like every Hollywood sports story, people got greedy.

Regardless of your political views, I think it’s safe to say that the U.S. is discussing health care. I’m not here to tell anyone how they should feel about the Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, with this discussion comes a lot of disclosures about medical information. As in, “I’m an employee who has ABC condition and this is what I think about ….” or “My spouse/child/etc. has XYZ condition and therefore, we need to do…”.

There’s been a lot of conversation lately about what is being termed “fake news”. While the discussion about fake news has been related to politics, it occurred to me that this could easily happen in the business world. ERE had a blog post about it – “ Fake News Afflicts the Workplace Too.”. Sue Meisinger, former CEO of SHRM, also talked about “ HR and Fake News ” in her latest Human Resource Executive Online column.

If you are one of the many managers trying to maximize effectiveness (while minimizing your chance of being replaced!), it is critical that you focus on the Employee Experience (EX). The EX is essentially the sum of perceptions of interactions (both positive and negative) an employee has with an organization and its members. The EX is a relatively new term that has created a shift in the way employee engagement is viewed.

Picking HR technology hasn’t always been an easy process, but it was indeed simpler in the past. System admins and other stakeholders would take a look at a system, see if it met their needs, and make a decision based on that alone. However, that didn’t always lead to positive results. Today we have this concept of the employee experience and companies are starting to factor in the opinions and needs of not only the employees and the admins, but also the executives as well.

The office can be a pretty full-on experience. Messages arrive left, right and center, never when you expect them, and often asking more attention than you’re able to afford. Meetings with clients get you away from the computer screen, but are just as demanding in their own way. By the time you reach the end of the day, you are exhausted and have only achieved a fraction of the work you originally set out to do.

What is a Leadership Style? A leadership style differs from a leadership trait. A leadership trait is similar to a personality trait. In other words, it is stable, and it tends to be active in different situations. For instance, if an individual is an extrovert, this behaviour pattern is exhibited across different situations. Similarly, an autocratic leader tends to showcase his autocratic behaviour most of the times.

A new hire’s first 90 days could very well be the most crucial. According to the Academy of Management Journal, it typically takes new employees about 90 days to adjust to a new job. During that time period, they typically build a rapport with their co-workers and managers, and become familiar with the company’s values. When you think about the term “onboarding,” you probably picture putting together a training manual, making introductions, and setting up workstations.

The headline “Improve Employee Engagement” is everywhere in the business culture. Employee engagement is a term used by human resource professionals that represents the degree that employees are enthusiastic about their work, their willingness to learn, and their commitment to the mission of the organization.

To set these goals, many people use the S.M.A.R.T. framework, meaning their goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.

Look more closely, and you’ll see that sometimes even the “easy” choices are difficult. If you’ve ever struggled with what seems an obvious choice — say, “fruit cup or chocolate pie?” — you can probably relate.
