A business or team can only be as successful as the sum of its parts. There are several companies with effective leaders that struggle with employee turnover or poor performance. According to one Gallup poll , 24 percent of employees who aren’t in a leadership or management role feel disconnected from the company or team. This can decrease employee satisfaction, which significantly affects performance; if employees no longer care about their job, why would they care about doing it well?

I’ve written about employee engagement quite a bit over the years. At this point, I think we all know it’s important and companies need to focus on it. But it’s also important to understanding that engagement isn’t necessarily the goal. What I mean by that is the goal should be what engagement creates. Research shows us that: Organizations with a high level of engagement report 22 percent higher productivity.

Only 5% of today’s job seekers are interested retail automotive careers, and Baby Boomer technicians are retiring at a rapid rate, meaning dealerships are facing difficulties identifying and hiring quality auto technicians. And once technicians are hired, dealerships also struggle to retain employees in service roles for the long haul.

Groupthink is what happens when the desire to have harmony and consensus discourages healthy dissent during the decision-making process. In other words, when individuals fear rocking the boat, they don’t voice their disagreement – even if they know they should. The results can be disastrous. Consider the failure to anticipate Pearl Harbor, the escalation of the Vietnam War and the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

You could probably pinpoint the top traits of a rotten boss at the drop of a hat, right? Everyone’s had one of those. The arrogant show-off who takes credit for your hard work.

HR professionals are likely to be aware that a work-space has a legal obligation to meet the needs of any employee with a disability. And yet, all too often, offices are not set up to accommodate variable needs. This includes both the physical space of the office and practices and cultures which exclude or fail to acknowledge the needs of the disabled.

Many managers tend to avoid addressing problem behaviors in the workplace under the belief that “we’re all adults here so everyone deal with it.” The problem with this laissez faire approach is that toxic behaviors, left unchecked, can lead to serious consequences that impact the bottom line. Although addressing toxic employees can be uncomfortable, you need to put a stop to destructive behavior quickly.
