'Jon is once again absent, this time on a “father and son” camping trip. In my mind, the idea of centuries of bush craft knowledge, passed from father to son, perhaps set to life-affirming music, makes a fine Gillette advert.

'Bad leaders can pop up anywhere. They’re easy to spot, fun to mock and, let’s face it: we love to hate them. But what about when you’re the leader and you find yourself slipping into bad leadership behaviors? According to a recent study by the Center for Creative Leadership , nearly 40 percent of new chief executives fail outright within their first 18 months on the job, and even more of them fail to live up to the expectations of those who hired them.

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.

'We’ve all used behavioral interview questions—questions that ask job candidates to recount a past experience so we can assess their likely future performance. In theory, behavioral interview questions should work just fine (because past behavior is usually a decent predictor of future behavior). But most interviewers ask behavioral questions in a way that gives away the correct answer and thus ruins the question’s effectiveness.

Company culture impacts how your employees perform their jobs, how your customers are treated, and can contribute to turnover rates. Video interviews allow companies to quickly connect with candidates.
