James Brown once sang that “this is a man’s world” but that certainly doesn’t ring true for the world of entrepreneurship, as there are plenty of women who have achieved extraordinary corporate success and become self-made millionaires or even billionaires. While most of the world’s most famous and identifiable entrepreneurs are male, it would be […].

HR departments often use the Bradford formula to calculate the impact of absence. But how does it work, and is it still a valid metric? What is the Bradford factor and what is it used for?

I don’t believe there’s any doubt – employees want flexible work, if they can get it. Granted, not every job is able to have flexibility. For example, the barista at your local coffeehouse isn’t going to be able to work from home. But there are many positions that can and do work outside of a traditional office environment. The question for human resources professionals is, “What’s the best workspace setup?”.

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.

A few weeks ago, I published an article about the things that recruiters want from job seekers. I received a comment saying that it would be interesting to look at the flip side: What do job seekers want from recruiters? I agree it would be very interesting to find out so, I’m giving you an opportunity to weigh-in and share your thoughts. I’ve created a survey that asks one question of job seekers: Besides “getting the job”, what do you expect from the recruiter and hiring manager during the hir
Common sense is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things, which is shared by (“common to”) nearly all people and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without any need for debate. If organizations are to successfully meet the economic and competitive challenges of contemporary markets, they require people who DON’T rely on “the common sense” to guide them.
More and more companies are using blind hiring to increase diversity, but is it right for your company?

In the last week the media world tied itself into a knot after a writer at The New Yorker wrote a scathing critique of Chick-Fil-A’s continued success in New York. The issue, in part, was that the critique wasn’t totally focused at Chick-Fil-A itself but had its sights set on Christian values. A few quotes from the piece: The brand’s arrival here feels like an infiltration… because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism.

Networking is an important part of a business, and inevitably one of the first questions you will be asked when you meet someone new is “Do you have a business card”? Of course, the worse thing to happen would be for you to say no and look unprepared, but second to that would be not having a card that’s memorable that could lead to business from your new contact at a later date.

Webinar | Tuesday, May 1, 2018 | 1 p.m. Central Time | Hosted by EBA Benefits administration can be a delicate, and even difficult balancing act for employers.

As businesses develop and change, they naturally outgrow their benefits technology from time to time. Mergers and acquisitions, changes to benefits plans and program additions are a few reasons why. There are many advantages businesses gain by having the most up-to-date benefits technology. For example, modernizing benefits technology can help companies keep costs down, increase the productivity of HR and benefits staff, and boost employee satisfaction during enrollment season.
In order to stay ahead of the pack, organizational transformation is important for every business today. Perhaps one of the most important aspects to consider for organization transformation is human resources or the employees.
