by Jathan JanoveOn November 30, 2018 0 comments

Many years ago, I mediated an egregious sexual-harassment case. 

A young woman―bright, personable and talented―left the modeling world to pursue her goal of becoming a successful business executive. 

A series of nightmarish encounters with older male executives quashed her dreams. 

In despair, she turned to the legal system. She retained a zealous team of  attorneys. Soon afterward, the defendant corporation retained its zealous team of attorneys. I was the mediator. 

When we began the mediation, the parties were $5.45 million apart. The plaintiff sought $5.5 million in damages, while...

by Omari FaulknerOn November 30, 2018 0 comments

 

 

During the month of November our active duty military, veterans and their families are celebrated and honored for their commitment and contributions to our nation.  While I value Military Appreciation Month, I also value individuals and organizations taking responsible actions to support both veterans and active duty service members preparing for their transition from active duty to civilian careers.

As a Navy reservist, it is quite typical for me to spend my...

I remember hearing Rajat Paharia on a panel discussion some years ago denouncing the term gamification. He was at the time dubbed the Father of the strategic technical discipline. Logically, the commodification of the behavioral practice wore him out.

We've been talking about gamification in the human capital management space for ten years, mostly in attempt to simplify the concept to form an opinion for or against it.

The beautiful lights, music, decorations and parties create a fun and festive atmosphere as workplaces around the world celebrate multiple holidays. To quote a familiar holiday song, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” That is, perhaps, unless you’re in HR.
