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).

Organizations decide they’re going to change all the time. Especially during times like we’re experiencing today, when recruiting is tough, engagement is a challenge, and retention is a top priority. It’s not unusual for an organization to say, “We need to change so we can get the best talent and crush the competition.” But organizational change doesn’t happen just because: Something goes offline, like a system.

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.

It seems almost every week, a new dealership acquisition is announced – if not more. And any time a new dealership is acquired, it also means acquiring the dealership’s people. This can pose some challenges, such as differing job expectations, a culture clash, and the need to train employees on your dealership’s systems and processes. How can you ensure you have the best team in place to make the post-acquisition transition run smoothly?

“How much did you make at your last job?”. Until recently, it was fairly standard practice to ask job candidates about salary history in interviews or on job applications. But not anymore. Now, it’s becoming increasingly off limits. More and more states are adopting laws that prohibit asking job candidates about their salary history. The laws are part of a recent effort to fight gender discrimination and narrow the pay gap between men and women.

Becoming a parent signifies the end of many things: an uninterrupted night’s sleep, the ability to to take a night off at a moment’s notice, and perhaps, your fancy glass coffee table with the dangerously sharp ends. But, according to our researchers’ latest findings*, it’s also the beginning of a newfound appreciation of work (and life) that you may not have had before you became a parent.
