Employees are sensitive creatures, and one of the quickest things they pick up on is whether or not their boss trusts them. Trust is a critical element for a healthy work group and company. Without it, morale and productivity suffer, good employees leave and the rumor mill works overtime. What does a failure to display trust look like?

When I speak about HR strategy, one of the things that inevitably comes up is that it’s hard to plan ahead. Things change. The business changes. The objectives shift. It makes it difficult to pin down the right HR strategy to support the organizational goals. And that’s okay. Death, taxes, and change are the things we can count on in this life.

“We have an onboarding process, so we don’t need to put new employees through an orientation.”. Is this your philosophy for new hires ? If so, you’re not alone. Many businesses think that having an onboarding process means they don’t need a formal orientation.

People hate meetings… and for good reason. Leadership knows they are expensive , and take up time that could be better spent on producing actual outcomes. Managers can find it difficult to facilitate them without having a process in place. Employees can find them to be boring or a waste of time. But meetings don’t have to be that way. Managers and other company leaders can be more intentional about which meetingsto have and which ones to skip, and who really needs to be there.
