Analyze a Team’s Dynamics Before Prescribing Solutions. When I worked at Lowe’s Home Improvement, I managed a talent development team that supported several departments. Inevitably, one of my VPs or directors would call and ask for team building efforts. When I receive these requests, I can’t help but think that this is sort of like a patient asking a medical doctor to prescribe the latest pharmaceutical product as seen on TV.

Over the past few months, we’ve talked about chatbots and machine learning. It only seems logical that we should have a discussion about artificial intelligence (also known as AI). While these terms are often used in the same sentence, the more I learn, the more I realize that there are subtle nuances in each.

The traditional office landscape is changing and has been for quite some time, but the degree to which it should be shifting is subject to debate.

Perhaps Gallup CEO Jim Clifton said it best in the 2017 State of the American Workforce Report : “The very practice of management no longer works.”.

One that accurately reflects the culture of the organization.

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.

When you see your employees breaking off in clumps, it’s likely they’re drawn to each other based on a common interest, work style, work location or personality. But what happens when those clumps turn into cliques at work? Let’s be clear: People tend to gravitate to others who understand them and where they feel safe. This isn’t a bad thing.
