There’s something magical that happens when we wholeheartedly thank someone in a meaningful way — I mean a flow-blown THANK YOU that comes from the heart. The magic occurs on both the giving and receiving ends. According to UCLA neuroscientist Alex Korb , the “magic” of gratitude isn’t magic at all. Feelings of gratitude trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter linked to enjoyment, focus, and euphoria.

While more than 75 percent of CEOs say gender equality is part of their top 10 business priorities, women remain underrepresented across every level of the corporate pipeline—comprising just 37 percent of management positions and 19 percent of C-Suite positions, according to a recent study from McKinsey and LeanIn.org. This gender disparity doesn't stem from the inability of women to perform at top levels.

Momentum is the strength or force that allows something to continue to grow stronger or faster over time. We tend to think of momentum in the context of objects – such as the rock gained momentum as it rolled downhill. But it occurred to me that momentum applies to activities – support for a project can gain momentum. If workplace activities can gain momentum, then we need to be focused on how to increase it.

One of the things I love about my health insurance company is that they offer webinars and workshops to both members and the community. I’ve been able to get the latest info from a doctor about the Zika virus. They also hold nutrition workshops. Recently, I attended a Deskercise workshop (aka activities we can do at our desk).

Bacon and eggs. Peanut butter and jelly. Chocolate and peanut butter. Learning and performance? Some things are just better together! Certainly you have heard of the trends going on in performance management; specifically the move towards doing away with ratings and focusing in on how best to truly develop employees. Some companies, like Amazon, T-Mobile and Deloitte, are foregoing the ratings part of performance reviews all together.

Companies with well-defined values know they create a virtuous cycle. First, the values attract top talent who are able to be picky about the tone of their workplace, and then, those people affirm the company values through their voices and actions. This is the case at Artemis Connection, a strategy consulting firm founded by Christy Johnson two years ago.

Risk is often thought of as something that happens from the outside –– such as a natural catastrophe or economic slump. Yet risk exists within your own business. And if you still use paper time sheets and time cards with your employees, you may be exposing your payroll process to a great deal of risk. Take employee time theft, for example. No one likes to think of employees stealing.

I know I’m a little late with a reference to “ Take Our Kids to Work Day ” but I believe the concept is one we should embrace year around. It’s important for us to expose kids to work. Because someday they’re going to enter the workforce and we want them to be prepared. In career development, that first level – often labeled entry – is where we learn those key attributes of being a good employee.

Dear ReWorker, Performance ratings are due soon, so I filled out the forms and rated my employees based on their performance throughout the year. I gave one employee an outstanding rating as I really think she has met those criteria. I gave her the performance review and the rating, and she was thrilled.

Early in my career, I worked as a recruiter in a bustling HR department.

As HR is increasing its presence as a strategic part of the business, key performance indicators, or KPIs, are becoming a key part of the language for discussing how it is actually performing.

All businesses have a slow season. It’s within this period that companies have a tendency to place urgency on reducing costs. In most cases, it’s a good way to tackle costs by trimming the fat. Unfortunately for some organizations the presumption is that managers will take the right actions to control their department costs. Or perhaps follow their CFO’s suggestions to delay critical investments, shift costs from one accounting category to another, or reduce overhead.
