Take a proactive approach to reinforce your organization’s alignment by planning a retreat geared toward employee engagement.

Creating a resume where all the content lays out on the page in a way that is easy to read and visually appealing can be challenging. Sometimes in their quest to get all the content on one or two pages, the writer resorts to using design strategies such as a smaller font, tighter margins, or compressed spacing to trim the document. But these strategies are flawed and can make the resume harder to read.

There are currently 78 million Americans who were born between 1946 and 1964, and as they gradually transition out of the workforce and into retirement , the predictions regarding their effects on national health care costs are ominous to say the least.

Dear A Advisor, I’m a new manager and I’m expected to do performance reviews with my team. Performance reviews seem so outdated — I don’t think something that resembles a report card helps with employee engagement.

Do you know someone who is social and liked and respected by everyone? Does this person have contagious energy? Is this person motivating and inspiring? If so, this person would make a great candidate for a “culture chief” at your office.

It takes a lot of dedication to build a great corporate culture, but it is essential to promote employee engagement and build a great company.

Their employees have no way of connecting to the larger purpose of the organization, nothing to identify with, nothing that gives work greater meaning.”.

Hi there, A Advisor, I’ve been looking into some employee recognition programs for my company, and I notice that some of them resemble social media sites; they even have a newsfeed like Facebook or Twitter.

I want my employees to engage with our company’s values, and I don’t want them to recognize frivolously.

“As stress, change, pressure and constraints increase in an organization, so too does the need for a concerted effort to enhance employee recognition. Managers can find it difficult to give positive feedback during tough times, and managers are least likely to use a recognition program when morale is low.
