A few months ago, I had the opportunity to hear change leadership expert Cheryl Cran at SilkRoad’s Connections Conference. If you ever have the chance to hear her speak, she’s definitely worth your time. During her session, she made the comment that “Leadership is the ability to influence others.” I’ve been saying this for years as well…so I tweeted it out.

“We have an onboarding process, so we don’t need to put new employees through an orientation.”. Is this your philosophy for new hires ? If so, you’re not alone. Many businesses think that having an onboarding process means they don’t need a formal orientation. But once you understand how onboarding and orientation are different, you begin to see the value in both.

As businesses undergo workplace shifts and transfer of knowledge around responsibilities, there is often concern on how to bridge generational gaps. Many of our government clients have really started to address this through “emerging leaders” style programs and leadership academies. So as the discussion about Millennials in the Workplace evolves, we ask if they are really the entitled generation, or if that’s a misconception.

If you check out a company’s profile on Glassdoor , one of the first things you see is the CEO approval rating. As an HR leader, this is a number that I was always concerned with as a signal for overall employee satisfaction. It’s common to hear stories about CEO approval in the news, and all of us have an opinion about our current and past leaders at the top of the organizational hierarchy.

Many of us spend more of our waking hours at work than in the rest of our lives. It’s important to create the type of culture where employees feel connected and don’t mind spending such a huge chunk of their time at your company. The invention of the smartphone virtually eliminated any remaining line between personal and professional life.

Ok, ok—the employee survey itself is not dead. But the annual frequency of it is.

In fact, Hay Group reports that “companies with engaged employees experience 2.5x more revenues than competitors with low engagement levels.

I’m not really into collecting stuff but I still find there are times when I look around the house and see clutter. So I picked up a copy of Marie Kondo’s best-selling book, “ The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.” Can’t wait to start reading it. One of the reasons I get frustrated with clutter is because I find that, when I have clutter, I make bad purchasing decisions.

Despite the difficulty and confusion, employees, particularly millennials, consistently say that benefits are an important component of what they want from an employer, but a lack of clarity could lead to underuse of available options and even misplaced resentment if an employer offers a benefit but employees don’t understand that it’s available to them o

When you add up how much time and effort is required to run a paper-based system, the result can be shocking. Characterised by double handling of documents and repetition of tasks, staff frustration aside, it’s a system that’s rife with human error. For Western Sydney University (WSU), which pays up to 6000 people fortnightly, the move to an integrated payroll system has been nothing short of ground-breaking.

It can be hard for anyone to talk about becoming disabled, but the conversation is especially touchy at work. The idea of not being able to provide for oneself or one’s family can be dismaying, enough so that employees don’t like to think about it or plan for it. This avoidance can have dire consequences, because the Social Security Administration says more than a quarter of today’s 20-year-olds will be disabled at some point before age 67.

What do you really know about the data that your business collects? How do you store it, or manage it? What do you do with it once you get it?

Luckily, the BI software management industry has kept up to speed with needs of companies—no matter what products or services they sell.
