From continuous improvement even mid-deployment to being comfortable with the uncomfortable, here are 14 answers to the question, "As an HR leader in your organization, what are some work-related New Year’s resolutions or goals you are setting and why?"
Workplace culture continues to come under scrutiny in today’s constantly changing and highly competitive market. One in four U.S. workers say workplace inclusivity needs improvement.

Half of all business leaders believe that when employees are working “out of sight,” they don’t work as hard. Yet this belief contradicts the facts.
Similarly, Microsoft released a new study, where it found that 49% of managers of hybrid workers “struggle to trust their employees to do their best work.” This lack of trust in worker productivity...
Building trust in your organization greatly benefits the employees, the culture, and the organization’s performance, which are all tightly related.
Unfortunately, building trust is not an easy task for two reasons. First, because trust is relative. While some behaviors (such as telling the truth) are universal, others are not.

With the rise of employees working remotely, we have experienced more calls lately on whether an employer is required to purchase an office chair or other office equipment for a new hire who works remotely.
Onboarding a new hire has the potential to set the stage for a positive, productive relationship, while a negative experience can affect an employee’s engagement; productivity; and ultimately, their decision to stay with an organization. As more people are working remotely, this may be a good time to pause and consider what office equipment and supplies should...
