The most successful businesses are rooted in an engaged workforce, where employees are valued for their contributions. It seems simple, yet many companies are missing the mark when it comes to connecting their employees with core engagement factors like their company’s mission, their experience of recognition at work, and their workplace culture. This is the “greatness gap” that many employers are dealing with today.

Today’s post is a personal one about my recent experience quitting caffeine and all of the associated side effects. Not so much about HR, but definitely an interesting look at the experience! One month ago I quit caffeine. My main delivery method was diet cokes (that’s soda for those of you outside the Southeastern United States). I quit for multiple reasons, and the experience was what I expected in some ways and very much different in others.

Remember that kid from elementary school who was always trying to figure out a way to change the grades on his report card? He’s still out there. Only now he’s an adult, and he’s trying to figure out a way to scam his company timesheets. While most employees are honest, there are usually a few you might want to keep your eye on. Even padding each work day with just a few extra minutes adds up.

All too often, business meetings are unproductive, unfocused, and just plain boring. While meetings may have a bad reputation, that doesn’t mean your team can’t work together to create a positive experience for everyone involved. When employees feel engaged in a meeting, it can generate an environment where ideas flow, team collaboration improves, and social bonds are strengthened.

Confidence – that magic elixir that draws employees to a manager like bees to pollen. How do some managers exude confidence and others just come across as know-it-alls? It’s not as difficult a question as it might seem. Confidence is essentially a positive state of mind. Think about it – bad managers generally project negativity – bringing employees down with criticism, micromanagement and treating everyone like interchangeable parts rather than as individuals.

Performance reviews aren’t a one-size-fits-all process. They have tremendous flexibility and, what might seems like a small detail (like when the review is conducted), can actually have a big impact.

We hate to be the one to tell you this, but a lot of employees think sporting a company lapel pin is about as “in” as wearing socks with sandals. There are much better ways to reward your employees and reinforce your brand besides just handing out tchotchkes. Companies today are getting extremely competitive when it comes to culture and perks.

I was talking with a friend last week about technology–specifically the kind we use in the HR, payroll, and recruiting space. His organization is using an awful tool that costs quite a bit of money. It’s not user friendly. It doesn’t make data easily accessible. And it’s become a running joke that any basic business need will require yet another $20k+ module just to meet that single need.

As more and more people are putting off retirement and working well into their 70s, communicating well across multiple generations is an essential skill for today’s young managers. However, young leaders sometimes find it daunting to maintain respect and authority when managing workers older than themselves. As a young manager, older workers may seem intimidating due to both years of experience, as well as a perception of not respecting a leader who is younger than their socks.
