Fortune Magazine has called pet insurance the “hottest employee benefit” and one survey forecasts that nearly 60% of companies will offer pet insurance by 2018 (Willis Towers Watson 2016). The large growth we’ve seen at Pets Best supports this. The number of companies offering our pet insurance as a voluntary benefit in 2017 has increased over 134% since 2013.

Dear ReWorker, I manage field sales reps. I flew in for a scheduled "field ride" with an employee and upon arrival she let me know that she had a "doctor's appointment" and wouldn't be available for the field ride. I sat around the city all day long until meeting the employee for dinner at 6:00 that night, then I caught a flight that next morning. I never questioned the whereabouts or the all-day doctor appointment (maybe it is something serious, who knows?).

I’m a big fan of 2nd chance candidates. Candidates who were fired, terminated, let go, etc. for many various reasons, most of which come down to wrong job fit, the wrong personality fit with their boss, wrong skill fit, etc. I don’t have actual numbers, and I wouldn’t believe any study who told me a number because here’s what really happens.

I know a lot of people toss everything into the “employee disengagement” pile. This causes disengagement. Or that causes disengagement. Reality is, the drivers of employee engagement (or disengagement) are the things that drive work and productivity. A foosball table, while it’s fun and cool, probably doesn’t drive work. Therefore, it’s not a driver of employee engagement.

50 years ago, large organizations could not measure “good” or “bad” when it came to their own workforce trends. It was difficult to tell, for example, whether a surge in employee turnover was something that required action. This all changed in 1980, when Dr. Jac Fitz-enz — now celebrated as the father of human capital strategic analysis and measurement — founded the Saratoga Institute , and developed the first international HR benchmarking service.

Managers have a tough job and a full plate. They’re responsible for their department planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They’re also responsible for hiring. But managers themselves are often hired and promoted for their technical expertise, not their ability to hire others. This means that organizations need to give hiring managers all the tools they need to hire effectively.

Years ago, there was no such thing as employee recognition. Our parents and grandparents had no real concept of what it was to feel appreciated at work. You got a job, you did it, and you came home—every day for 40 years. But perhaps that’s why we’ve seen the alarming burnout rates and poor cultures of some companies today. And maybe that’s why today’s employees want a career they’re not only awake for, but proactively energized about.

No matter how much you try to tune it out, you can’t hide from political coverage. It’s on TV, podcasts, sports talk shows, and in nearly every social media post, tweet, pin, or snap. Even the place where politics was historically off limits is now no longer safe… the office. Political tensions in the workplace were high during last year’s election cycle, with 26% of employers sensing greater political volatility and 57% of Americans saying the political climate caused them stress.

What is Employee Empowerment? Employee empowerment is giving employees the authority to make decisions about their jobs. That can mean giving employees the authority to decide values, priorities, goals, plans, schedules, methods, hiring, training, etc. In the extreme, it can even mean giving employees the authority to decide their jobs and compensation.

I ran across a tweet recently that posed an interesting thought : What if managers created “personal user manuals” about their management style? Back in the old days, we called this managing up. Managers would share information about themselves with their teams – things like “I’m not a morning person.” or “I like communicating via email.”. Employees could then use the information about the best times and methods to communicate with their manager to help them get the necessary resources to do the

If you have ever worked in an office environment, you would know that work-related stress is one of the biggest issues that employees face. The stress at work can be caused by umpteen reasons but some of the most common ones are long working hours, relationship with team-mates or boss, work overload, unrealistic deadlines, and targets. The stress on workforce increases to such an extent at times that it begins to affects their quality of life, physical and mental health of employees.

If you hear the phrase “happy at work” and start zoning out immediately, consider these two words: discretionary effort. Discretionary effort refers to the activities beneficial to the business but not part of one’s job — a real game-changer. Even your workplace’s biggest Scrooge can get behind employee experience programs when they realize that happy employees drive more revenue by being more productive and creating a better customer experience.
