We’ve discussed why things such as diversity and inclusion are so important in the workplace, and we’ve talked about how you can improve diversity factors within your own team. But what about your current hiring practices? After all, experience and brand start at the beginning of the candidate funnel ; when they first interact with your company. In fact, 75% of job seekers consider an employer’s brand before even applying for a job.

Digital transformation is more than simply introducing new technology ; it's about changing the very nature and future of work. To be successful, consultancy firm Deloitte charges that companies need to "be digital" rather than "do digital." Technology should be part of the DNA of your company, rather than viewed as yet another technology-led business restructuring initiative.

At this year’s WorkHuman Conference , pioneered by Globoforce, I learned about a new employee benefit called social justice PTO. We’re familiar with the concept of PTO (paid time off). Instead of employees having vacation days, sick days, etc., they have one bank of time to use as they choose. Social justice PTO is paid time off but for social issues, like protests or marches.

It’s time to start thinking about open enrollment and benefits renewal. It can be frustrating for small and midsize businesses (SMBs) to have to budget for benefits when each year they see significant increases that outpace inflation. So what’s an SMB owner or HR professional to do? This post takes a deeper look at what the PwC annual report identifies as the three inflators and two deflators that are driving health spending increases for 2018.

Most of us go to bed thinking about the work that didn’t get done and the tasks that are still on the list instead of recognizing what went well and how we moved the needle forward , even if only a little. That makes sense, since humans are wired to focus on the negative. This is evolution’s way of keeping us alive. For CEO’s and leaders running organizations, it’s important to acknowledge this natural negative lean.

For years, many companies have relied largely on intuition and easily-captured metrics when it comes to People Analytics. But in the face of rapidly-evolving ideas, methods, and tools in this space, many people have been challenged to consider their trust in data and the science that it is—ideally—based on. Even when these new data-gathering technologies have been relentlessly tested and their insights supported , HR data can still be met with some degree of skepticism.

In some ways, hiring looks very similar to what it did twenty years ago. People search for positions, indicate interest, and are filtered down until the most promising candidate is offered a job. However, the technology we use has upgraded considerably over time. Today employers have tools to increase efficiency and efficacy, including video interviews, automated assessments, and more.

Organizations understand that the onboarding process is important. I think the challenge is deciding what should be included. Companies grapple with balancing the “welcoming employee experience” part with the “legal and compliance” piece. During this year’s SilkRoad Connections Conference , Madeline Laurano, co-founder of Aptitude Research Partners , shared that an organization’s onboarding strategy should define the two touchpoints in the employee experience: pre-hire and post-hire.

By now, it should be clear that the old way of working just doesn’t cut it for your employees.

The workplace of the future isn’t a hierarchy — it’s a network. In fact, at many companies, the change has already taken place. Peers have a better sense of what each employee is contributing, and some employees may report to multiple managers, depending on the project. That’s one reason formal performance reviews are being phased out.

YES invites opportunity; NO closes the door on it. YES creates value; NO destroys it. YES is human. NO is mechanical. The leader who wants to build their business looks for ways to exchange mutual value with others; to find opportunities to respond to what others desire. To serve others in a way that will create long term relationships that prosper both the organization and the individual.
