Missouri law presumes that all employees are employed at will. That means employees or their employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause. Despite that presumption, Missouri law has three judicially created exceptions to employment at will, and employees may not be terminated for any of those reasons (in addition to obviously discriminatory reasons).

I took my first job out of high school because of tiramisu. Yes—the dessert. It all started with those decadent layers of vanilla cream, espresso soaked cake and rich chocolate shavings. Let me explain. When I was in school and determining where to apply for a job while in college, I knew I wanted to work for a company that I truly believed in. One whose products I actually enjoyed for myself, and whose people I felt would support me.

Remember the old iPhone commercial, “ There’s an app for that. ”? There are a lot of apps available to us. Apps for banking, well-being, photography, and of course, games. It could be said that we’ve become an app driven society. And that might not be a bad thing. Apps can really help us in our personal and professional lives. But today’s Time Well Spent cartoon from our friends at Kronos reminded me that apps can’t do everything.

In my professional career, I’ve found that we don’t spend enough time explaining to employees how they get paid. What I mean by that is organizations often do not share the factors that determine pay ranges, etc. Which is why employees can get confused – which leads to today’s reader note: Hey! I have a quick (but perhaps complicated) question for you.

How employers compensate their employees is an issue of hot debate. In May of 2017, the House of Representatives passed the Working Families Flexibility Act , a bill that would allow private employers to provide compensatory time to employees in lieu of paying them overtime pay. The bill would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, particularly with regard to overtime pay.

A business or team can only be as successful as the sum of its parts. There are several companies with effective leaders that struggle with employee turnover or poor performance. According to one Gallup poll , 24 percent of employees who aren’t in a leadership or management role feel disconnected from the company or team. This can decrease employee satisfaction, which significantly affects performance; if employees no longer care about their job, why would they care about doing it well?

One of the things I’ve noticed lately is the number of articles about external recruitment but not much about internal. External recruitment strategies include mobile and social , advertising, job fairs, etc. Even the employee referral program is an external sourcing strategy. The two methods of internal sourcing that come to mind are job postings and job bidding.

I’ve written about employee engagement quite a bit over the years. At this point, I think we all know it’s important and companies need to focus on it. But it’s also important to understanding that engagement isn’t necessarily the goal. What I mean by that is the goal should be what engagement creates. Research shows us that: Organizations with a high level of engagement report 22 percent higher productivity.

While there is no shortage of employee engagement strategies, one tactic they typically have in common is giving and receiving feedback. Whether it’s a performance review or a coaching session, or a reward or recognition, in each of situation, employees receive some type of feedback. So, if feedback is so critical to employee engagement, why does the word evoke a feeling of dread?

The importance of aligning hiring to organizational culture is endlessly discussed, debated, and analyzed. Everyone from researchers to C-suite leaders to HR professionals has an opinion on how to achieve this seemingly elusive nirvana. We constantly ask ourselves, “What’s the best way to ensure the individuals we’re hiring are a ‘fit’ with our culture?”.

People mean everything in the workplace. The chemistry that forms between a working team can, in the best circumstances, define the successes that they collectively achieve; but in any case, it is surely the main defining factor of whether work is a pleasant and fulfilling place to be. None of these relationships is quite as important nor as influential on the others as the relationship between you and your boss.

I believe that leaders are responsible for creating the work environment that brings out the very best in people. The most effective leaders I work with (and have worked for in the past) strive to constantly inspire higher levels of performance from their teams. Simultaneously they make every effort to retain their most important employees over the long-term.
