We know that in many sectors, talent is hard to find. And that is only likely to get worse in an era of sustained skill-shortages. Yet most recruitment companies still focus all their energy, and their KPIs, on job-order metrics. Now, let me be clear on this. I LOVE KPIs. I believe you can’t manage […].

When skilled employees leave a company, the entire operation suffers. Generally, this is due to poor management. Although managers may complain that great people keep leaving their team, they usually don’t try to change how they treat employees, either. In most cases, people don’t leave a company because they’re bored or seeking a promotion elsewhere, but because their managers aren’t doing an adequate job of performance coaching.

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 heard the sayings about teamwork before: “there’s no “I” in team” or “a chain (team) is only as strong as its weakest link.” If you haven't heard these sayings, just watch any Disney sports movie and you're bound to hear it once or twice. These type of saying are typically applied to sports, however they can—and should—be applied to any type of group of people working together.

It’s no wonder many hiring managers and HR professionals feel like they’re struggling just to stay afloat.

A funny thing happens when you get busy. You get stressed. Now, some people handle stress better than others, but to some degree stress affects a change on everyone. You begin to lose focus on the unimportant things or, at least, the not immediately important things.

Most companies realize when they hire someone that it’s not a solemn vow to be together forever. The generation of company men and women who spent the bulk of their working lives at one company has mostly retired. Today’s employees expect a more transient working life. The average worker now stays at a job for about four years. The twenty- and thirtysomethings among us, currently the largest generation in the workforce, stay for about two years.
