One of the words I’m trying to banish from my vocabulary is “easy.” Easy means something different to everyone. What’s easy to you could be difficult to me and vice versa. Easy implies “no-brainer” and that’s not always the case. Especially when it comes to describing technology. That’s why – when it comes to technology – I like to think of things as being intuitive (versus easy).

We all know someone like Mike, whose idea of a dream job is sitting alone at his computer, headphones on and focused on his data entry. And we also know people like Janice, who is constantly in motion, chatting with vendors and pushing her latest idea to increase production. While they happen to be on the same team, their job skills, titles and requirements are vastly different.

It’s true. On June 29, 2015, the Trade Preferences Extension Act became law and, unbeknownst to many, the act included a provision to amend Internal Revenue Code sections 6721 and 6722 to increase the per-employee penalties on applicable large employers for failing to properly file ACA information returns or provide payee statements. The increased penalties will apply to Forms W-2 and the 1099-series as well as ACA-required employer shared responsibility and minimum essential coverage reporting

Few things are more nerve-wracking than starting a new job. New hires are often apprehensive when they walk through the door on their first day, and their long-term engagement and success can be affected by how well you onboard them during the first few weeks. One great way to transition your new employees is through mentorship programs. By connecting rookie employees with seasoned mentors, you can improve morale, training quality, and even retention. .

In a recent survey, more than half of the employers reported that they can’t find qualified candidates for their open positions, according to CareerBuilder. And, of those employers, 35 percent said the challenge stemmed from having job requirements that were above entry-level and increasingly complex. Why not use an internship program to help bridge the skills gap?

Last week I took a vacation with my family to enjoy the lovely beaches of south Alabama. I was able to squeeze in a little reading, and here are the fruits of that labor. Today we have book review on Leadership in the Crucible of Work: Discovering the Interior Life of an Authentic Leader by Sandy Shugart, PhD ( Amazon ). The book was interesting, and I read it like I mentioned in my previous post on reading for leaders.

Most job seekers I talk to rely solely on LinkedIn as their main online tool for finding contacts for their job search and being found by decision makers. LinkedIn is a fabulous resource, but Google+ can be used to supplement a job seeker’s strategy and open new doors that could be challenging to open when relying exclusively on the power of LinkedIn.

It’s hard to believe that the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Annual Conference was almost a month ago. How time flies! As always there was plenty to see and do in Las Vegas. There’s never enough time to chat with everyone and trying to decide which educational sessions to attend is always a challenge. But I had a great time and certainly look forward to next year in Washington, D.C.

The Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) is my professional association. I support other professional organizations, but my first HR job was as a generalist so SHRM was the first professional association I joined. Every employer I’ve ever worked for supported my membership in SHRM and allowed me to attend SHRM professional development events.
