Hire for cultural fit, but make sure there’s room for diversity. Why? Because with a strong company culture, employees are happier and more productive and diverse teams outperform less diverse teams by an average of 35%. It’s decided: teams are to hire similar people with many differences. Confused yet? There’s no denying the validity of both fit and diversity in the hiring process, but where do we draw the line between too much of either or not enough of one?

The Whiteboard

OCTOBER 15, 2015

Surprisingly, and perhaps disappointingly, I’ve never been fired from a job. Surprising, given that a good proportion of my day-to-day behaviour isn’t appropriate for the workplace. Disappointing, given that being the narcissist that my ex-girlfriend describes me as, I like to place myself centre-stage for all my blogs. However, I have been a walk-on extra for a few dismissals, so hopefully I’ll get to indulge my borderline sociopathic tendencies in today’s WhiteboardR

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.

When the economy is dragging, nurturing employees may go on the back burner; in turn, employee morale begins to drag. Even within a robust market, companies immerse energies in staying ahead of the innovation curve or beating the competition, thus dimming the mentoring light. In these scenarios, courageous employees who reach out to management for stretch opportunities and promotions often face rejection, further toppling their morale.
