You have to know what the store needs, have a sense of sales trends, and be able to anticipate shopping spikes, all while making sure to keep the wishes of your employees in mind.

While the message sounds simple, have one brand – it’s really not that easy to do.

4 Steps to Aligning Employee Expectations With Organizational Goals

Cornerstone On Demand

I can't tell you how many times I've heard HR professionals tell me, "I went into HR because I'm a people person." It makes sense, since one of the roles that HR professionals play is advocating for employees. But it's not their only role—it's also up to HR teams to advocate for organizations. This doesn't mean that the best interests of the two sides are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary, they must be aligned to ensure business success.

Resolutions Every Manager Should Make for 2018

Cornerstone On Demand

This article was originally published under Jeff Miller's column “The Science of Workplace Motivation" on Inc.com. I normally don't like the idea of New Year's resolutions because setting or modifying goals shouldn't be something that happens once a year—it should be an ongoing, iterative effort. In fact, treating resolutions like one-and-done projects is probably why 80 percent of them fail by February. Regardless, to resolve means to have intent, and that is something I can get behind.

Organizations struggle with how to be successful. They craft a strategically brilliant plan that would make the pundits proud.
