We stand at the beginning of a new era in human resources. Global events thrust HR to the forefront to deal with complex workforce and business issues, and to do so virtually. We rose to the occasion, survived, and thrived. Now we are poised to move forward, and the new normal is ours to design. However, we are faced with some thought-provoking facts. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as of June of 2021:
For 15 months I've been documenting the ever-evolving workforce experience via this blog (and others). We've been through a hundred different layers contrasting hope and uncertainty. There are those who have found positivity in solitude while others have been chomping at the bit to get back to seeing other humans IRL (in real life). The time of emergence (at least for now) is upon us.
The pandemic has raised an interesting cross-section of organizations embracing social issues while individuals overlapped the personal with the professional. Has the work-from-home conundrum taught us...
How to become the best people ally

Considering people are the best asset of modern management and top-notch companies, it offers a bright future to the HR role. What other functions can recruit, make all the people love their companies, grow and stay to such an extent? It’s also a huge responsibility.

One of the issues is the lack of motivation, which could stem from the lack of a realistic job preview, resulting in disappointment and poor performance.
Realistic job preview is defined as the presentation...
The Great Resignation. It’s been the headline of the day and the topic that looms large at any company trying to snap back to business quickly. About 4 million people —roughly 2.7 percent of all workers —quit their jobs in April, the highest level in about 20 years. Moreover, recent surveys show that anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of workers are actively looking for a new job.
The question is, which group is bolting the fastest?
According to many business leaders and human resources pros, the largest pool of employees quitting is...
Making a major transition? This is the perfect opportunity to influence employees’ attitudes and productivity
Announcing a major change at the same time a company is trying to lift lagging employee engagement scores can seem like an impossible task for internal communication teams.
Yet, that’s exactly the challenge many communicators are facing. Change is constant and rapid in today’s business landscape, and it can sometimes cause anxiety for internal audiences.
So how can we make progress on improving engagement at a time when employees...
Like many parents in the last year, I’ve spent more time with my kids’ learning materials, re-familiarizing myself with the ins and outs of intermediate school math, social studies, and more. One of the concepts that sticks out to me in science is atomic particles because it has a very clear tie to how we make talent decisions at work.
Atoms are the smallest individual components of an element. They have the necessary characteristics to tell us what the element is and what its properties are, and you can’t break...
