Technology and an unending stream of social media messages, notifications, and alerts have invaded our personal lives more than ever before – leaving the door wide open for the bullies of yesterday to get off the playground and into the Twittersphere. It’s almost comical to hear of exes who continue to stalk one another on Instagram and we all compare our traditional 9-to-5 careers to the jet setting elite on Snapchat, but have you ever stopped to think how this can impact our work lives?

Every manager and every HR person has to fire someone at some point. It's generally unpleasant—and rarely similar to the movies, where the employee has done something so spectacularly wrong, you can just yell "You're fired!" and everyone feels good about the decision. Instead, the signs of an unfit employee are often more subtle, making it hard to know when to take that final step. If you're thinking an employee isn't working out, here are five signs that it's probably time to let the person go

As we all know, recruitment is a competitive game. At any given time there are a limited number of vacancies and promising job seekers, while the number of recruiters competing for them is only on the up. When it comes to getting ahead and staying ahead, cloud-based recruitment systems are the best solution.

Bells and whistles and corner offices aside, talent management is dedicated to one basic question, right? Who’s next? From tending the pipeline right through issues of succession , we are tasked with populating a world whose needs never end. May get stormy, may get depressed, but talent needs work and work needs talent. Downturns lead to upturns, fortunately: the BLS reported that job opportunities increased to 5.4

A reader writes: I manage a team of 12 IT staff. Over the last year, we were responsible for an extremely large project working long and hard hours. The cost savings to the company was supposed to be in the millions. We sang the typical tune, as instructed by HR, to demand everyone to work more efficiently and put staff on performance plans if they only met the status quo. Well, now it’s time for pay raises and was told I am being given $5,000 to split between the 12 staff.

With voluntary resignations at an all-time high and unemployment rates historically low, employee retention is a key objective for most HR organizations, and employee turnover is the single most prevalent HR metric. However, knowing your turnover rate does little to support strategic business plans. To achieve true insight, a more in-depth analysis of what’s causing turnover in different parts of the organization is required. Why should HR make employee retention a priority?

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. If you go to a good college, do you still need to get work experience while you’re in school? I recently had a dispute with my younger brother, a senior in high school. I suggested that when he goes to college, he should take advantage of connections through the school to get an internship or two over the summer, for the experience and flesh out his resume, since degree =/= job in this day and age.

A great company culture is obvious: it just works. Projects get done, and people are happy to be there. There’s an energy in the air that invites productivity and participation, and even if it’s not perfect, it’s at least a place where everyone feels comfortable. . It’s far harder, we think, to diagnose and treat exactly what’s gone wrong in a culture “gone wrong.”

How do you make your employees happy? As an HR professional or executive for your company, this is a question that's likely always top of mind. And for good reason—having a team of happy, engaged employees is not only good for office morale—it's good for your customers, too. A recent Gallup poll showed that only 32 percent of employees feel engaged at work.

A few years ago, I wrote a post titled “ Happy Employees are not Engaged Employees.” It remains a very popular post. I received a note about it the other day. I would say employees with a sense of purpose are most productive. Is this the same as engagement (therefore the employee is motivated)? It’s a great question that really made me think. So I wanted to see if I could logically work through this. We have a tendency to toss these words around interchangeably at times.

She also notes that, “organizations are spending $1 billion on turnover costs.”

While getting paid as a salaried employee isn’t always the main goal when seeking a promotion, I thought it would be good to talk about what it takes to get promoted.

Employees walking around with titles like “chief happiness officer” and “product evangelist” are expected to be exuberant, enthusiastic proponents of a company’s internal and external brand. And they could very well be crazy about the companies they work for. But they might not be so keen on such creative, “non-traditional” job titles, which a fair number of workers apparently don’t find all that endearing or even accurate.
