By now, all of us understand that technology plays a big role in our personal and professional lives. And we’ve all seen at least one article talking about employee engagement and the lack thereof. What’s important to remember is that technology isn’t the cause of employee disengagement, unless of course, someone intentionally made it that way. In fact, when used correctly, technology can be a tool that helps engagement.

The business landscape is evolving rapidly, and HR skills that were once highly prized are becoming obsolete. HR professionals no longer spend their time keeping records, and new technology has transformed how employees engage with their work.

Confession: I’m a Tim Gunn fan. Tim Gunn is the chief creative officer at Liz Claiborne and one of the mentors on the reality television program Project Runway.

A while ago I published a series of posts on the principles of self-management. It’s become a popular topic of conversation because a number of organizations are implementing holacracy.

In the television series Lie to Me, actor Tim Roth plays Cal Lightman, an expert of facial expressions and involuntary body language. Lightman seemingly watches people for the briefest of moments and interprets whether they’re lying, uncomfortable or telling the truth. In television, such feats are possible. In a real workplace, employees may not notice or understand why they feel their boss doesn’t like them or appreciate them, but your body language influences them all the same.

2016 is an election year and with that comes inevitable talk of America’s looming personal financial crisis.
