HR Hardball
OCTOBER 27, 2016
It’s one of the great statistics in recruiting…”Recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing a resume.” According to The Ladders, 4.8 of those seconds are reviewing four areas; name, current position, current employer, and dates of employment.

Hold up. I need to catch my breath after last night’s episode of The Walking Dead. (Don’t worry. No spoilers ahead). Last week, I blogged here about the EEOC’s new Strategic Enforcement Plan.

Ask a Manager

A reader writes: When being asked by a hiring manager “why are you looking to leave your job,” one of the common advised response is “I’m looking to take on a new challenge.” Do you think that answering with “I’m looking to take on a new challenge” can be interpreted as admitting that the candidate (me) is not qualified or lacks the experience?

With all of the talk about work stress and burnout, I wonder if mindfulness practices can be used in a wellbeing program. So I decided to do a little experiment and practice mindfulness for a month.

Everybody knows that the most common reason for quitting is that an employee doesn't like the boss. Lots of people take this to mean that bosses whose employees quit are horrible people who yell and scream and micro-manage everything from font size to the type of fingernail polish allowed in the office. Those bosses absolutely exist, but there are other types of bosses that are generally good bosses—even generally great bosses—that still do little things that drive good employees insane.

Over the past 20 years, there’s been a 40 percent increase in the number of companies that offer work from home or telecommute benefits to employees. The result is that more than 60% of organizations have had to build, manage, and lead a team that they don’t necessarily see in person every day. While in-house employees can benefit from the existing company culture from day one, virtual workers are often on their own when it comes to building camaraderie and sensing the tone of a new workplace.

It occurred to me after I published the post that there might be organizations that are postponing or struggling with these conversations. So here are a few things to consider when it comes time to talk with employees about the changes and requirements of moving from salary to hourly.

Close your eyes. Imagine you’re a manager and you have 10 employees that you’re responsible for. Notice I didn’t say “10 employees who work for you”. That was on purpose. As a manager your REAL job regardless of what you think or what your manager thinks, isn’t to get the most out of people listed “under you” on the org chart. Your REAL job is to help those on your team get what THEY need WHILE achieving company objectives.

People hate meetings… and for good reason. Leadership knows they are expensive , and take up time that could be better spent on producing actual outcomes. Managers can find it difficult to facilitate them without having a process in place. Employees can find them to be boring or a waste of time. But meetings don’t have to be that way. Managers and other company leaders can be more intentional about which meetingsto have and which ones to skip, and who really needs to be there.

When I speak about HR strategy, one of the things that inevitably comes up is that it’s hard to plan ahead. Things change. The business changes. The objectives shift. It makes it difficult to pin down the right HR strategy to support the organizational goals. And that’s okay. Death, taxes, and change are the things we can count on in this life.
