Got overtime? A lot of businesses do, and very few plan for the extra expenses as a result of overtime, some of which aren’t as easy to spot as an extra hour on a timesheet. According to our latest survey, only 23% said they specifically budget for overtime expenses and 48% said they avoid scheduling overtime if at all possible. While many expressed concerns about the cost of overtime, both to budget and sanity, 16% shared they are not as proactive as they need to be about overtime.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

The U.S. has always been known as a melting pot; diversity is its strong suit. However, when it comes to corporate America, diversity has historically been lacking. Although 92 percent of U.S. population growth is attributed to ethnic groups and 36 percent of the workforce is comprised of people of color, only 21 minorities (that's right—21, not 21 percent) are Fortune 500 CEOs.

Lists of the best places to work for are a dime-a-dozen, and usually, you’ll see the same places mentioned time and time again: Google. Big-budget finance companies, industry giants. Usually, these are the companies that can afford to shell out big when it comes to benefits, like free laundry services and college tuition reimbursement. What makes “good places to work” seem to be the monetary value of their perks.

They find your company online and go exploring from there, looking for all the information they can find about you, your employees and your company. Then, they make their decision on whether or not to apply for a job at your company based on what they see.

Tomorrow I’m heading to Las Vegas. I’m attending the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Annual Conference. This isn’t my first SHRM Annual – in fact, my first SHRM conference (more than a few years ago) was also in Las Vegas. At that time, a small earthquake happened – let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself. The reason I’m writing this post is because last year I attended a blogging conference and, during the event, I met someone who posted an introduction on her blog.

Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra once said, “The future ain't what it used to be." Although he used the saying in the 1970s, the popular quote also aptly describes the state of our workforce today—especially now that every millennial is old enough to work. For the first time, the millennial generation, or those born between 1980 and 1996, will dominate the workforce this year based on their size alone, eclipsing the Baby Boomers and Generation X.

Organizations with well-defined social responsibility programs can improve their brand reputation, attract more job candidates and customers, and increase employee engagement. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs arose from the understanding that businesses function as a part of society—the success of each deeply affects the other. The importance of corporate social responsibility has increased in recent years, in large part due to the growing influence of millennials.

The notion of Employee Engagement has been with us for a while now. I noticed in a meeting last week that everyone was passionate when we started discussing "engagement". But the longer we talked, the less I was convinced that we were talking about the same thing. In fact, we all had a personal, sensible, gut level idea of what it meant. But the "definition gap" emerged when we began talking about how to approach the issue.

Though companies around the world commit to them every year, 45% of employees think employee performance reviews are a complete waste of time.

A job interview is a two-way street. While you’re evaluating candidates to find the best fit for your job and culture, those candidates are evaluating you. Job candidates look at everything from how you’re dressed to who’s present at the interview to the work environment to determine if you’re a fit for them. A job interview often serves as a candidate’s first impression of your brand and culture — and you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression.
