Corporate wellness programs can lead to better employee engagement , greater productivity, and fewer long-term health care costs. However, you don’t need enterprise-level resources to support your employees in leading a healthier lifestyle. Even small and mid-sized businesses can introduce changes that will support a culture of health and wellness, and many of them don’t cost anything. “The workplace is too often an overlooked but important part of the employee well-being equation.

We’ve seen several instances in the media where a customer or bystander has recorded an employee interaction…and it’s gone viral. The Starbucks employee meltdown over a straw is the latest case in point. But what about employees recording each other? I recently received a very interesting reader question: I just discovered that an employee secretly recorded a conversation with someone else in our company.

Great leaders aren't always found with title CEO or manager on their business card. Anyone can demonstrate leadership qualities. It's not about winning a popularity contest. You don't have to be liked to be respected. It's about serving and influencing others regardless of their job title in the effort to achieve a certain goal. More than anything, it's about creating harmony in an environment where people want to work together.

It’s been a whirlwind this past week and I’m just catching my breath for a bit. The site was hacked for the first time in over six years. Lesson learned: choose a strong password and don’t ignore strange activity with your web host. I was able to scramble and get it working again, but if you happen to run across something that doesn’t look right, please let me know and I’ll address it ASAP.

Savvy hiring managers have shifted their thinking about how to vet prospective candidates: they’ve realized that they have better long-term success when they focus on cultural fit moreso than work history and experience. While many job skills can be taught through on-the-job training, there’s almost nothing a manager or HR person can do to change an employee’s personality, work preferences, and sources of motivation.

As a PeopleStrategy employee, naturally, I have been following the reports on the tiff between ADP and Zenefits very closely. For those who haven’t had as vested an interest, ADP is suing Zenefits and its founder, Parker Conrad, for defamation. ADP claims that Zenefits (in cases where the two share a common customer) was obtaining client information used for payroll from the ADP system in an unauthorized manner and that this posed a security risk.

We haven’t thought about them for a while, but stay interviews might be making a comeback. They’re defined as structured interviews designed to learn the reasons that employees stay with a company or the conditions that might cause them to leave. As the talent wars continue, stay interviews can be a valuable way to engage and retain employees. During the Association for Talent Development’s (ATD) International Conference and Expo, I had the chance to hear Dr.
