Millennials are now the largest generation in the workforce, and they’re totally different than the generations of workers that came before. They want more than just a job. They want to feel like they’re doing something that matters. They don’t want to mindlessly do tasks — rather, they want to be engaged with their work […].

Businesses don’t just run on machinery; they run on the hard work and innovation of employees. Unfortunately, many North American employees are stifling their productivity and creativity by working without significant breaks for many months, or years, at a time. In 2014, more than 40 percent of Americans didn’t take any vacation at all.

It seems like such a simple question. Do you know why the organization hired you? One of my former bosses took me out to lunch one day to tell me why she hired me. She said, “Because you didn’t come from the industry.” She wanted an outsider who would ask questions and challenge the status quo. She felt that was what the company needed. If organizations want employees to be engaged and successful in their roles, they have to tell them why they were hired.

When employees quit, it has a multiplying negative impact: their co-workers may feel over-burdened and discouraged, while the company suffers from a drop in productivity. Furthermore, the expense of recruiting, hiring, and training replacements is substantial.

Work life balance is defined as a “concept including proper prioritization between career and lifestyle.” I realize some people will say work life balance is a myth. Some might say work life integration is a much better term. Regardless of what you call it, I’d like to think we can agree on this: we don’t work all the time. We want to know we can take time off.

As our workforce evolves, so must the way we support it. With more employees choosing to work beyond age 65, HR leaders are increasingly being called upon to guide aging employees through one of the most complex transitions in their professional lives - from employer sponsored plans to Group Medicare. Without clear guidance, confusion around eligibility, coverage options, and cost implications can lead to uncertainty and missed opportunities for optimized benefits.

Recognition is often high on the list of what employees want from an employer, but all too often it isn't regarded as highly by business leaders. Getting it right is crucial for your business and there are key elements that need to be considered. One size doesn’t fit all. The likelihood is that you have a diverse workforce. This diversity needs to be carefully considered when planning your recognition scheme and establishing the rewards that employees will receive for their efforts.

My definition of a crisis is a people-stopping, show-stopping, product-stopping, reputationally redefining event that creates victims and/or explosive visibility.

I wonder sometimes if the reason there are so many complaints about annual performance reviews is because people find them boring. Let’s face it – it’s the same process using the same form. And if the goal is for employees to have consistent performance, that means that managers are discussing the same thing with employees. Every year. Long-term employees have participated in the same process each year for what seems like an eternity.

Sometimes managers will let employees avoid accountability because they dislike confrontation. But a lack of individual accountability is bad all around. It’s bad for the employees who likely know they aren’t performing well. For instance, a salesperson will probably know he is the only one who didn’t meet his sales goal. Without the encouragement and push to improve, he may feel ignored, discouraged and devalued, which may lead him to quit.
