We spend a lot of time talking about creating employee engagement. The rationale being that engaged employees are highly productive. And productivity fuels the business. In creating employee engagement, we need to think about employee satisfaction. I don’t see how a dissatisfied employee becomes engaged. It seems like their dissatisfaction with the company, their manager, their work, etc. is a barrier to engagement.

Is workplace bullying a problem in your organization? What image comes to mind when you hear the words “workplace bully?” A ranting lunatic who yells and stomps and is king of the insults? Or is it someone who subtly disregards someone else’s work while smiling in their face? Turns out, it can be both. Either way, these are toxic employees who inflict harm on your staff and your company.

Several years ago, I worked for an HR director (I’ll call her Susan) who loved to talk as much as she loved her job. Susan was passionate about solving problems and building interdepartmental relationships. She had a sense of humor and could connect with just about anyone. Here’s the “but”: When Susan met with managers and employees during monthly team meetings, she did most of the talking.

Some of you might be thinking, doesn’t every organization focus on performance? Well, I think the answer to that is … maybe. I know in my career, I’ve worked for companies that spent a huge amount of time focused on goals , only to abandon all of them for some shiny new program. I’ve also worked in situations where achieving the result was the most important thing … and it didn’t matter who was hurt along the way.

I was at a conference recently where a speaker used the term “HR Lab”. I thought it was pretty cool. My vision of a lab is a place where you test out new things. Or you take existing things and tweak them a little. Human resources could definitely use a Lab. When I think back on my HR career, I know there have been times when I would have loved to spend more time thinking through a policy or procedure.

If you haven’t seen it, there’s an interesting article in The New York Times titled, “ Generation Grumpy: Why You May Be Unhappy if You’re Around 50 ”. The article talks about how people usually become more mellow with age BUT not the current group of middle aged Americans (aka the “Grumpy Middle”). My take from the article is that this group of people missed out on their peak income earning years because of economic downturns like the Great Recession and the growing wealth gap.

As corporate purse strings tighten in the post-recession era and the need for ROI is seemingly ever-increasing, it’s not uncommon for workloads to expand without the corresponding increase in talent.
