by Andrea Vearncombe, Total Rewards Manager, Achievers. Why do your employees show up at work every morning? If you think it’s just to earn a paycheck, then you’re overlooking something essential about human motivation. Most people agree that fair compensation is a requirement for employee engagement and job satisfaction, but it only meets the bare minimum.

PARIS Rushing to the cloud As we move from traditional on-premise ERP projects to cloud-based environments the role of system integrators is changing radically. Gone are the days when Accenture or IBM could command hefty fees for unlimited mandays and run projects unchallenged by awestruck (and often ignorant) customers. First, customers are now savvier about technology and no longer accept any proposal that comes their way lock, stock and barrel.

The business world today is experiencing a leadership gap. We talk about the skills gap and the challenges facing recruiting. What about leadership? It only seems logical that if there are gaps at other levels of the organization…there will be a gap at the leadership level. I don’t hear anyone saying, “We have plenty of great leaders; we just don’t have any good employees.”.

Imagine you’ve recruited an employee who, for all intents and purposes, seemed competent enough. At least, that’s what you thought when you hired him. But over the last few months, you’ve noticed that he is just not performing up to the standard you were expecting. Maybe he’s missing deadlines, turning in incomplete reports or just isn’t “getting it” You need to do something.

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Alabama SHRM Conference. It was a great experience, and I love taking notes from other speakers throughout the day as well.

by Andrea Vearncombe, Total Rewards Manager, Achievers. Do you give your employees big annual bonuses as a reward for their work? Or perhaps you just give them out of tradition? If so, you have plenty of company: It’s common to rely on annual bonus plans to build employee motivation and pad salaries. However, a lot of bonus plans aren’t set up in a way that truly motivates good work.

When employees quit, you may feel shocked, hurt, angry or relieved. However, for the sake of your company’s good name, it’s not always appropriate to make them aware of these emotions. Former employees are walking advertisements for your organization. They hold a valued insider’s perspective. If it ends sourly, they can write a negative online review about you company with the click of a button.

A few weeks ago I received a strange text from my cousin. He wanted to know if I would be interested in trying out for a game show called Family Feud. Of course my instant reply was “YES!” We had to put in some effort up front and submit our interest. We got together and created little jingles for each person to sing to introduce themselves and did some humorous stuff to try to stand out, then we submitted our video and waited.

Salary.com has the How Much Are Mom’s Worth? salary wizard which calculates how much someone would be paid for all of the jobs moms do (teacher, cook, chauffeur, etc) and reminds moms that all the work they do is worth a six-figure salary even though they never actually see a dime.

In fact, air travel caters, in large part, to business travelers who need to get from point A to B in order to conduct business transactions.

It seems that the idea of self-directed work teams is coming back into vogue. I ran across this article recently about the companies that have embraced the practice. It’s called “ Why self-managed teams are the future of business ” and it’s worth a read. Many years ago, one of the companies I worked for decided to move toward self-managed teams. A group of managers, including myself, spent months working on how self-managed teams could be incorporated into our culture.

If you want to keep a pulse on your company’s health, you need to understand how engaged or disengaged your employees are feeling on a regular basis. It’s no longer sufficient to gauge employee satisfaction just once or twice a year. After all, if leadership, employee morale, or performance problems aren’t solved quickly, they can lead to a drop in productivity, job satisfaction, and customer service.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, the one day a year we are supposed to celebrate Mom and thank her for everything she does to make our lives easier, safer, healthier and, overall, more enjoyable. That is what my mom did for me for more than 40 years and saying “thank you” was definitely worth doing more than once a year. As a working mother, I am very appreciative of my employer’s emphasis on creating an environment where work-life balance is not a buzzword, or a bad word.
