By: Kellie Wong. Social Media and Blog Manager, Achievers. Do your employees feel recognized? Think carefully, because over 65 percent of employees report they don’t feel recognized at work. And lack of recognition just happens to be the number one reason why employees quit. Employee recognition drives employee engagement, and with higher employee engagement come lower turnover rates and stronger business results.

I wrote a post recently about the four things you needed to get a promotion. I won’t keep you in suspense – the four things are knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitude. After publishing the post, I received a question from a reader asking about the importance of attitude in getting a promotion. Here’s my two-cents about attitude. I believe that feedback should be specific, timely, and behavioral.

You’re going to have to sell your company in order to attract the best talent.

Human productivity can be difficult to measure, especially in some knowledge-worker roles. Take content marketing for example. What level of output indicates acceptable performance; one viral blog post per month or ten mediocre ones? Chicken productivity, on the other hand, has one simple success metric — how many eggs are in the basket? It may seem absurd to compare the efforts of these two very different species.

Thanks to my wonderful wife for the idea for this one. One of our traditions every year is to watch Christmas Vacation (no, not with the kids!) While it’s not my favorite (that spot is held by It’s a Wonderful Life ), it always gives me a laugh and reminds me to focus on the important things during the Christmas season. One of the memorable scenes in the movie is when Clark opens up what he expects to be a holiday bonus only to find a “jelly of the month” membership car

We’ve written before about the shift to a candidate’s job market. Recruiting the best talent continues to be tough. But just because recruiting is a challenge doesn’t mean that organizations should be lax in their hiring practices. In fact, one could argue it’s a case for strengthening them. Case in point: According to the 2016 HireRight Employment Screening Benchmark Report , eighty-eight percent (88%) of companies surveyed uncovered a lie or misrepresentation on a resume that they wouldn’t hav

The holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year for many companies. Many CEOs and managers are stressed out because they need to close deals fast and make plans for the new year. At the same time, they must deal with employees asking for days off, and the whole working environment becomes extremely tense. However, there are ways to stay organized and on schedule with projects.

In the latest episode of We’re Only Human, I explore talent mobility and its applications in the workplace. Talent mobility is the practice of using internal talent to fill temporary or permanent roles. Unlike succession, which is typically a top-down approach, talent mobility takes into account the interests and aspirations of employees. As a talent practice, the idea of talent mobility isn’t necessarily new.

Has the flu started going around your office yet? It’s not too late to get vaccinated, and because the flu can have such a big impact on the workforce, employers should get involved in stopping its spread.

I am not a fan of benchmarking. The practice of picking “best in class” and trying to copy what they do (a “best practice”) in hopes that whatever benefits they realize will fall to you is a risky business.

In sticking with recent trends, many office managers have renovated their buildings to feature an open floor plan. While this approach has a number of benefits when compared to traditional arrangements, there are some very serious drawbacks to consider, too. A recent study by Oxford Economics, which polled more than 1,200 professionals in various industries, found that more than half of modern employees have some complaints about the noise in their office.

We all know that 2016 wasn’t a great one for predictions. Events that we thought we had pegged turned out completely differently to how we expected and, if we’re being honest, 2016 has knocked most of us for six. If the Trump election and Brexit have shown us anything, it’s that predictions and polls don’t always get it right but, none the less, it’s useful to look at emerging trends within our industry and take an educated guess at where the next year will lead us.

In the modern-day workplace, a high level of productivity is what managers expect from their employees. The bar is set high because they have to work in an on-demand society. Businesses are forced to keep pace with the demands of their customers because competition is fierce, and if one business can’t satisfy the appetite of the demanding and often fickle public, it won’t survive.
