It totally makes sense to recognize the thing that makes our businesses unique. Our people! People also make your business productive. So I thought I would round up a series of posts on something that people just can’t live without these days – technology.

Big changes could be coming to business payrolls across the country. A recent change to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) white collar exemption rule means the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) seeks greater protection for certain lower-paid executive, administrative and professional (“white collar”) employees who are currently exempt from overtime, though likely work more than eight hours a day (in select states) or forty (40) hours each week.

If you’re managing a group of people in a working environment, you’re trying to make things work regardless of the obstacles the team faces. Still, disputes will be inevitable. The complicated connections within the team impose the need for hierarchy. Even if everyone respects the person with a higher rank, disagreements may arise because you’re dealing with different characters and egos.

Communicating with your team after a firing is a lot like walking a tightrope. It can be difficult to find the balance between not saying enough and saying too much – and it’s not much fun either. But with the right approach, you can actually bring your team closer together. You may be tempted to not say anything and take an “out of sight, out of mind” approach.

How will your employees pay their expenses if they get cancer? What if they have heart disease or a stroke? A cancer insurance policy wouldn’t help then, but a critical illness policy would. Then why have both? Is there really a need? Yes. Critical illness and cancer policies have some key differences that make each a valuable option for your employees.

Performance wanes. Engagement falls and morale sinks. These are tell-tale signs that your culture is sick and needs attention. So how do you go about fixing it?

Working in a family-owned business is unique. That doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s just different. How you view the situation could depend on whether you’re a member of the “family” or not. Today, many organizations allow family members to work together. Maybe not in the same department, but for the same company. Especially in larger organizations where family members might not have daily contact.

Staffing is the lifeblood of my HR career. It’s where I truly got my start and really thrived. It’s one of the toughest jobs in our practice, in my opinion, and not just because I used to do it. Because there is rarely a client harder to please than a manager who just lost a treasured employee and not only are they looking to you to fill the position immediately, but they’re also wildly hurt and upset that “turnover is such a problem.”.

I believe that everyone is a leader. Leadership is defined as the ability to influence others. Using that definition, everyone has the ability to influence, so everyone is a leader. Logically, it also means that everyone needs development.
