87% of millennials say their development in a job is essential. As a new generation of employees is promoted to their first supervisory or management role, organizations continue to fail to set them up for leadership success. One of the first lessons I learned as a new supervisor at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company was that my customers were no longer my most important priority—it was now my employees (or my internal customers).

I loved this Harvard Business Review white paper by Teresa Amabile titled, “ In Pursuit of Everyday Creativity ”. From a business context, we’re constantly focused on creativity and innovation. We place value on it. My takeaway from the white paper is that we tend to label people as “creative” versus looking at a creative process that anyone could use successfully.

Any business will have employees who don’t get along from time to time. Whether it’s because of differences in their personalities, lifestyles, opinions or some other factor, sometimes employees just don’t mesh. And when there’s discord in the workplace, it affects everybody. The resulting tension not only makes the office environment uncomfortable – it can also negatively impact your business’s productivity.

But, according to our researchers’ latest findings*, it’s also the beginning of a newfound appreciation of work (and life) that you may not have had before you became a parent.

We’ve all been there. Your coworker Sam is moving on to a new opportunity. Goodbyes are being said. Personal email addresses are being exchanged so everyone can “stay in touch”. Sam’s cardboard box is filled with the usual suspects: family photos, a mousepad with the Dallas Cowboys logo, the chrome stapler he secretly lifted from the supply closet and a Ziplock bag full of client business cards he has gathered over the years.

The U.S. health and fitness industry is worth $30 billion and continues to grow, largely due to millennials and other fitness enthusiasts who are quick to adopt the latest health and wellness trends. But with fitness customers having countless options to get in shape – including at-home fitness apps and studios dedicated to specific activities, this leaves many large, value gyms wondering how to stay competitive.

Don’t get me wrong– your CFO isn’t the bad person here—most likely, your finance guru wants the same thing you do—an organization that runs at its peak efficiency, with employees who are productive and committed to helping the company succeed.

Author Douglas Adams once famously said: “I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” If that sounds familiar when it comes to your own project management skills, it tends not to be something you can actually joke about, as missing deadlines can cost you in your career and you don’t want to get the reputation as someone who can’t be trusted to get work done on time.

But the wide range of employee benefits that security companies offer shows that there’s plenty of opportunity to use benefits as a recruiting and retention tool.

Ever heard the term “service leader?” It’s what it sounds like — leaders who make service their priority. For them, leadership centers around the “one for all” musketeer mentality without the “all for me” in return. Servant leaders strive to do more than your typical do-gooder. Despite human resources education, many professionals still carry around the idea that leaders tell employees what to do, the staff falls in line and that’s the end of it.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), it typically costs $4,425 to hire a new employee — not to mention the 36 days the average team spends trying to fill a position. Yet nearly 1 in 5 employees (16%) of employees quit in their first week — and 17% leave after the first month.
