Dogs at work are the latest perk to have employees salivating with envy. From Nestle Purina’s “bring your dog to work day” to the “woof-top” dog park built on top of Zynga’s San Francisco headquarters, a growing number of companies are letting employees bring their pooches to work.

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.

Does your employee engagement strategy reflect what employees truly want and even expect from their employers?

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.

There’s been a lot of talk in the news about holacracy. It’s defined as running an organization where power doesn’t lie within a management hierarchy and decision-making is distributed throughout the organization. Holacracy relies heavily on autonomy. Speaking of autonomy, years ago, I heard Dan Pink talk about his book “Drive” , which focuses on the three elements of motivation: autonomy, mastery and purpose.
