Confidence – that magic elixir that draws employees to a manager like bees to pollen. How do some managers exude confidence and others just come across as know-it-alls? It’s not as difficult a question as it might seem. Confidence is essentially a positive state of mind. Think about it – bad managers generally project negativity – bringing employees down with criticism, micromanagement and treating everyone like interchangeable parts rather than as individuals.

The most successful businesses are rooted in an engaged workforce, where employees are valued for their contributions. It seems simple, yet many companies are missing the mark when it comes to connecting their employees with core engagement factors like their company’s mission, their experience of recognition at work, and their workplace culture. This is the “greatness gap” that many employers are dealing with today.

I was talking with a friend last week about technology–specifically the kind we use in the HR, payroll, and recruiting space. His organization is using an awful tool that costs quite a bit of money. It’s not user friendly. It doesn’t make data easily accessible. And it’s become a running joke that any basic business need will require yet another $20k+ module just to meet that single need.

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.

Remember that kid from elementary school who was always trying to figure out a way to change the grades on his report card? He’s still out there. Only now he’s an adult, and he’s trying to figure out a way to scam his company timesheets. While most employees are honest, there are usually a few you might want to keep your eye on. Even padding each work day with just a few extra minutes adds up.

As more and more people are putting off retirement and working well into their 70s, communicating well across multiple generations is an essential skill for today’s young managers. However, young leaders sometimes find it daunting to maintain respect and authority when managing workers older than themselves.
