Offering a generous employee bonus program can be just the right incentive to keep highly motivated employees from looking for work elsewhere. Simple enough, right? Not always.

Job interviews are strikingly similar to going on a blind date—in a restaurant you’ve never been to. It’s stressful enough navigating new streets and parking situations just to get there.

Rather than ignoring stress, it can be healthier and even more productive to harness the energy that such trials create and direct it towards a more successful outcome.

In the fight for talent, an organization must provide an effective value proposition to attract the type of employee it needs to deliver its business goals.

One of the things I’m most passionate about as a long-time HR professional is the progression of our practice. We suffer from quite a bit of bad press and misperception as an overall group, that we’re the people in the company who couldn’t cut it in other lines of business and that we’re dragging our companies behind. Within this push to exceed expectations to outrun this negative perception is a call to action to evolve our way of thinking.

Cancer insurance, whether blended into regular health plans or as a separate benefit offering, is critical for people facing cancer risks or diagnosis. Plans covering preventive care can have gaps as well as extra coverage that benefits advisers and users may be unaware of.
