87% of millennials say their development in a job is essential. As a new generation of employees is promoted to their first supervisory or management role, organizations continue to fail to set them up for leadership success. One of the first lessons I learned as a new supervisor at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company was that my customers were no longer my most important priority—it was now my employees (or my internal customers).

I loved this Harvard Business Review white paper by Teresa Amabile titled, “ In Pursuit of Everyday Creativity ”. From a business context, we’re constantly focused on creativity and innovation. We place value on it. My takeaway from the white paper is that we tend to label people as “creative” versus looking at a creative process that anyone could use successfully.

Employee feedback should be simple. Just speak with your employees, right? Not exactly. Most managers are afraid to communicate with employees and for good reason. Research shows that feedback interventions can often backfire and more than one-third of feedback conversations actually decrease performance. As a manager, giving feedback is something you will probably do as the most frequent part of any continuous performance management process.

You’ve heard me say before that one of the worst things organizations can do is ask employees for feedback and then not do anything with it.

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.

“How much did you make at your last job?”. Until recently, it was fairly standard practice to ask job candidates about salary history in interviews or on job applications. But not anymore. Now, it’s becoming increasingly off limits. More and more states are adopting laws that prohibit asking job candidates about their salary history. The laws are part of a recent effort to fight gender discrimination and narrow the pay gap between men and women.
