My engagement is my responsibility, don’t take that from me. Psychometrics in Canada recently completed a survey of 368 Canadian HR professionals. These professionals were asked : Who is primarily responsible for engagement? 50% said managers. 34.1% said senior leaders. 15.9 said employees. It boggles my mind that only 16% of HR managers see employees as having primary responsibility for engagement?

'I’ve posted several times recently to suggest that what seem like decent engagement scores being reported by some organisations and a few vendors may hide a number of potentially very significant, and growing, employment problems. New based research from Plateau Systems seems to confirm this thinking:- So firstly, yes, this survey also suggests job satisfaction is fairly high.

Everything I know about the behind-the-scenes deals in Hollywood comes from watching Entourage. In other words, I don't know much, but I recently had a chance to chat with a very successful Hollywood producer and find out the secret to his success. The big secret? Telling good stories. Here's the column I did for Gannett/USA Today. A successful Hollywood producer of movies such as The Color Purple , Batman , and Rain Man , says stories such as these are what employees and job seekers need to evo

Dear Evil HR Lady, The company I work for is very small (6 of us in total including part-timers). The founder and my boss are also father and son respectively. My boss is a bully and true to your advice I have been trying to offset his negativity by rising above it, concentrating on the task at hand, and confronting him where necessary. However, nothing seems to help for very long.

What's the rudest behavior you've seen at work by someone with a smartphone in their hand? It may take you a minute to think of the No. 1 worst behavior (many people seem to carry a list in their pocket), but before you spout off, I want you to consider something else. What's your rudest workplace behavior? Are you snarking about someone else's behavior when your manners are less than stellar?

'I think one of the most interesting inputs at the HCI Summit I covered recently was from Gary Hamel emphasising the importance of ideology – knowing what you believe about something in order to be able to support it through the design of your organisation and its processes and practices etc (or alternatively to deliberately not support it if your own ideology is out of alignment with that of your employer!).

'Yesterday, the 6th largest amount of snow in history fell into our area. Given the sheer volume involved poses unique strains on the organization. Do we have the personnel to clear the sidewalks and parking lots? Are the streets safe enough for faculty, staff, and students to trek from their homes and start their regular routine, or should work be closed or delayed?

What’s your problem? Psychometrics in Canada recently completed a survey of 368 Canadian HR professionals. These professionals were asked : Is employee engagement a problem in your organization? 69% said yes. No problem. I see it differently. Employee engagement is not a problem to be solved but an experience to be lived both individually and collectively within our work and our organizations.

Every company everywhere should have a plan to combat workplace violence and properly respond to violent incidents. California has stepped to the plate and become the first state to mandate workplace violence prevention requirements for employees and employers. Even if you are in a different state or country, these workplace violence requirements are applicable to almost every employer anywhere.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I am 18 years old and just started a full time job. I work 10:30-6:30 at a daycare center and I already hate it. I started working as a sub there and wasn’t getting many hours, so when they offered me this job I was really excited about the hours I would be getting. But, I now have no life. Summer is coming and I’m not going to be able to do anything.

Last year, Seth Godin showed us a way to become a Linchpin. This year, he urges us to “ Poke the Box ” – to act, to start, to initiate, to experiment, to try (and fail and learn from it) and most importantly to finish and deliver. Poking the box is about taking initiatives, not just waiting for someone to delegate them to us. Seth has packed a lot of punch into this book, so much that the passion and force in his writing almost instigates us to start/act.

'Task lists. Post it notes. Legal pads. Emails to myself (my current favorite). Napkins. Even the palm of my hand. I''ve written notes on just about everything. Little reminders to add to my task list for follow up. So much to do, and so little time to accomplish it all. Thank goodness I can go to my office and start tearing through my list. Sometimes my days fill up with work before they even get started.
