It’s an open secret leaders are often poor communicators. “I’m not a people person” or “I’m not good with words” are often cited as reasons for avoiding conversations with staff and colleagues. Even though it’s well documented employee performance increases when leaders give staff feedback , many in authority choose not to put in the extra effort. Why is this?

As recruiting remains a challenge, I believe organizations will focus their resources toward making sure that they can keep the employees they have. Just like it’s easier to retain a customer (versus getting a new one), organizations will realize the same about employees. . So retention will be a priority for companies, which means employee engagement will be a priority as well.

Interviewing candidates is a critical step in the hiring process and can have a significant impact on the candidate experience. Not only can interviewing help you gauge whether or not a candidate is a fit for an open role – both from a skills and culture fit standpoint – but it can also make or break a candidate’s decision to join your team. While important, coordinating interviews can be time consuming and frustrating for both your team and candidates.

Humankind has long struggled to find the secret to living a happy life, but what about workplace happiness? Have you ever wondered how your employees feel at work ? Perhaps you’ve tried to create a fun and satisfying environment, with activities like foosball and ping pong or by offering free lunches and snacks. But if you haven’t found success, it may be because those perks focus more on downtime, rather than creating a productive work environment.

Ever since people started working for each other, supervisors have tried to figure out the best way to reach their performance goals and keep workers on task. Too often in human history, this meant that people with less power were simply compelled to work, and incentives — if they existed — consisted merely of being allowed to survive. After several evolutionary waves, we have a deeper insight into what truly motivates people, and today’s incentives are about far more than compensation.

If you’re just learning about “stay” interviews, you may be imagining yourself in your office, facing a key member of your team who has just resigned, trying to convince that employee to “stay” with your organization.

On the inside, you’re full of warm-hearted gratitude for the loyalty of employees who stick around for the long haul. The question to ask yourself is whether your team knows how much you appreciate their efforts. They can’t read your mind, so celebrating employee milestones and work anniversaries is a way to showcase your positive energy and spread it around.

No matter where you are, you’ve probably seen some mention of the General Data Protection Regulation (aka GDPR). The aim of the GDPR is to protect all European Union (EU) citizens from privacy and data breaches in an increasingly data-driven world. It’s an extension of a 1995 law from a time when, I think we’d all agree, technology was vastly different.

Effective candidate engagement and a positive hiring experience are both critical elements to building your best team. Rather than waiting until a candidate signs an offer letter to kick off your engagement strategy, you should start engaging with each candidate as soon as they apply for the job. If your business doesn’t continuously engage with candidates throughout the hiring process, you risk candidates losing interest in joining your team and looking elsewhere for their next career move.
