87% of millennials say their development in a job is essential. As a new generation of employees is promoted to their first supervisory or management role, organizations continue to fail to set them up for leadership success. One of the first lessons I learned as a new supervisor at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company was that my customers were no longer my most important priority—it was now my employees (or my internal customers).

I loved this Harvard Business Review white paper by Teresa Amabile titled, “ In Pursuit of Everyday Creativity ”. From a business context, we’re constantly focused on creativity and innovation. We place value on it. My takeaway from the white paper is that we tend to label people as “creative” versus looking at a creative process that anyone could use successfully.

Any business will have employees who don’t get along from time to time. Whether it’s because of differences in their personalities, lifestyles, opinions or some other factor, sometimes employees just don’t mesh. And when there’s discord in the workplace, it affects everybody. The resulting tension not only makes the office environment uncomfortable – it can also negatively impact your business’s productivity.

Don’t get me wrong– your CFO isn’t the bad person here—most likely, your finance guru wants the same thing you do—an organization that runs at its peak efficiency, with employees who are productive and committed to helping the company succeed. It’s just that you may come at that goal from different directions. You believe that intentionally creating a positive employee experience (EX) is necessary to make the organization competitive—and to do that, you may need to invest in organizational

We’ve all been there. Your coworker Sam is moving on to a new opportunity. Goodbyes are being said. Personal email addresses are being exchanged so everyone can “stay in touch”. Sam’s cardboard box is filled with the usual suspects: family photos, a mousepad with the Dallas Cowboys logo, the chrome stapler he secretly lifted from the supply closet and a Ziplock bag full of client business cards he has gathered over the years.

Last year my wife and I celebrated our tenth anniversary. Four kids, three houses, two sets of in-laws, and hundreds of silly arguments about toothpaste, dirty clothes, or what to eat for dinner later. And we’re still going strong. Several years ago I wrote a piece on funny reasons to marry an HR pro. After having to pull out my HR skills to handle yet another conversation this week with my wife’s former employer about retirement benefits, this has been top of mind for me.

Selecting a clear, concise and aesthetically pleasing CV template is essential for anyone’s job hunting efforts if you are to stand out when recruiters sift through a pile of applications. And there’s more to creating a CV than just booting up Word; you need to think carefully about what the design, layout and font says about you as a professional.

By the same token, business leaders want payroll to be easy and hassle-free, so they can concentrate on growing their businesses.

Ever heard the term “service leader?” It’s what it sounds like — leaders who make service their priority. For them, leadership centers around the “one for all” musketeer mentality without the “all for me” in return. Servant leaders strive to do more than your typical do-gooder. Despite human resources education, many professionals still carry around the idea that leaders tell employees what to do, the staff falls in line and that’s the end of it.
