A big takeaway during this year’s Great Place to Work conference was that transparency builds trust. And that trust is often broken when the organization does things that are contrary to their culture. Because culture tells customers, candidates, and employees what to expect. Great Place to Work CEO Michael C. Bush talked about it in the context of creating a “great place to work for ALL”, not only for a majority.

Clashing generational interests are commonplace in the modern workforce. Managing each age group’s expectations is often difficult. While catering to every demographic’s particular strengths and weaknesses may not be possible, understanding each generation’s needs can shed light onto better motivating, engaging, and ensuring the success of each group.

The control freak. The interrupter. The too-nice boss. The drama king (or queen). The dump-and-disappear boss. The vague explainer. There are as many problematic behaviors in bosses as there are in those who report to them. Can, and should, you coach your boss into more productive behavior? The answer is yes, but proceed carefully. No one gets better at their job without productive feedback, but coaching up requires a delicate touch.

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about how individuals can change company culture. I later received a note on Twitter with a great question: A change in company culture = A change in leadership. You can’t change the leopard’s spots right?! . At first glance, I would say “yes.” We often talk about how senior management sets the tone of the organization.

In case you missed it, there was a SHRM Conference Daily post this week with a very interesting headline. In short, the EEOC said that training doesn’t reduce discrimination. The logic behind the commentary had a few holes that I want to point out really quick, but I want to spend the majority of the time today helping you to understand what actually works for eliminating harassment.

The harder it is to find qualified employees, the more we pay attention to retaining talent. Companies don’t want employees to leave, because they can’t find a replacement. Or they can’t find a replacement quickly. So one of the ways to keep employees is to give them a benefit – like working from home. But for telecommuting to be successful, everyone must be on the same page.

I’m blessed again this year to be attending the SHRM Annual Conference. Yesterday I spoke with a friend that I haven’t seen at a SHRM event in a while. I asked him about what he was most looking forward to, and he had a quick response for me: the people. Yes, the content is good. Yes, the general sessions are motivating. Even the expo hall has a great set of vendors and providers to fill every possible need in the HR world.

I ran across an article on the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) website recently titled, “ Job Seekers Need to be on Social Media.” But what struck me about the piece was the subtitle, “It’s practically mandatory for job seekers to have a presence online.”. Part of me wonders if this is old news. Don’t most business professionals today understand that having an online presence is essential?

Millennials, also known as Generation Y, are increasingly becoming one of the largest groups in the workforce.
