It’s your favorite time of year. The time when you sit down at your desk and review all the feedback you’ve received from the candidates you interviewed. Hearing all the positive things they have to say about your interview process gives you that bump in confidence you need as a staffing professional. Excited to see how you’re doing, you open the data file on your computer.

The annual performance review is dead. Long live continuous performance management. Okay, so that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But there is no denying that one of the most enduring – and often disliked – performance-assessment tools is quickly falling out of favor with the world’s biggest employers. From Microsoft to General Electric to Accenture – top employers representing iconic brand products and services have abandoned the annual review.

The long list of pressures HR leaders are under is well documented. It's as if every organizational ailment somehow finds it's way to the human resources department to either get fixed or take the blame. There is a new issue lurking however, that most HR leaders, particularly those in the healthcare industry, are ill-prepared to address. That issue comes in the form of a question directly from the CEO.

In 2015, 39% of companies said Quality of Hire (QoH) was their most valuable recruiting performance metric. It’s what makes spending so much time and effort in the recruitment process worth it in the end. It’s the reason that cutting corners and saving money isn’t a good idea when it comes to recruiting. Quality of Hire is one of the most important and, unfortunately, one of the most difficult hiring metrics to track.

Building a vibrant workplace requires a foundation of trust, respect, and honest communication. It also requires employee appreciation. Over 200,000 global employees were studied by the Boston Consulting Group , and the top reason they reported enjoying their work was, “feeling appreciated”. Number 2 was having a good relationship with their supervisor, and number 4 was that they had a good relationship with their colleagues.

Are you one of those bosses who feels their employees should simply be happy to have a job at all? Unfortunately, some supervisors really do feel this way, particularly when the job market is tight. However, it’s an expensive point of view to maintain, especially in an economy that is nearing full employment : Discouraged employees are 87 percent more likely to quit, and you’ll spend a minimum of 21 percent of an employee’s annual salary on a replacement.

When it comes to providing job references , I’m a bit torn. I know a lot of companies still ask for them. On the other hand, I’ve always thought that your references will all say that you’re perfect, so why bother? But after receiving today’s reader note, maybe I need to rethink my position. Hello! I’m in the middle of interviewing for an upper-level research technician position and I’ve discovered that my reference list is out of date.

Employers must take it on faith that the skills described on candidates' resumes accurately demonstrate that they have the “right stuff" to meet the requirements of the job opening. Resumes focus more on specific accomplishments than on merely listing function and responsibilities—this helps, as granular detail implies honesty versus hyperbole. But as a former HR executive, I confess that simply relying on resumes means that many candidates I've offered jobs to may not have been up to par.

When things are important to us, we tend to be passionate about them. That seems like a no-brainer, sure, but it’s important to note because that kind of emotion is often a double-edged sword. The same collaborative spark that unites a work team can also fuel their interaction, sometimes turning a discussion into an argument or igniting a full-on blowout.

When was the last time you thought about gravity? It plays a pretty important role in our lives, doesn’t it? It keeps us from floating off into space. It literally holds our solar system together. Gravity is vital to our survival. And yet, unless you are a physicist, you probably haven’t thought about gravity since your last science class. It just works in the background of your perception, affecting you in so many ways you don’t notice.

The recruiting industry has long talked about “purple squirrels” — but it’s talked about “passive candidates” even longer (LinkedIn guilty as charged). The notion is that when comparing people actively looking for a job to those that are happily employed (or “passive candidates”), the happy employees are more valuable, yet harder to recruit. But what about everyone who's somewhere in between?

I just finished a super interesting read from the Harvard Business Review (HBR) titled “ Generosity Burnout ”. I would highly recommend that everyone download a copy. The idea behind generosity burnout is this: our best career advice for others is to be a servant leader , pay it forward, be nice, help others, etc. However, if every time someone asked, we said “yes”, we could be placing ourselves in a position where we’re sacrificing our own well-being and goals for others.

Each year, more companies are opting for team-based over individual-oriented organizational structures to handle various projects and tasks. Teams are a go-to structure mostly because through collaboration you tend to produce better and more unique solutions.

Emotional intelligence (EQ) is a hot topic right now. So hot that it caused a lot of controversy on ABC’s The Bachelor, where one contestant told another that she “lacked the emotional intelligence” to be with this season’s bachelor. Burn. However, most discussions about emotional intelligence are happening beyond such high quality TV (wink) in relation to job skills.

Then there are toxic employees, who epitomize the 99:1 rule; 99 percent of the negative energy in the workplace is caused by 1 percent of the people. Toxic employees consistently seeking drama by playing one or more of these three roles: victim, persecutor, or rescuer.
