I’m fascinated in how we compensate and incentivize employees. Not the actual process, but the decision-making process behind the what and how we do it. In my experience, how this usually goes is a two-level process: First Level: Someone has a hunch, or it’s being done this way somewhere else. Second Level: Someone in compensation searches for data to justify …
Quantum Workplace recently released a study they put together on the predictors of employee turnover. Employee turnover is becoming a huge issue as the unemployment rate falls, which is expected. As your employees have more options, they’re more likely to leave. I’ve always been a fan of Quantum’s research but this one seemed a little light. Here are their five …
Caught the news this morning that Apple begun moving employees into its new, futuristic, spaceship-looking, and $5 Billion costing campus in Callifornia last week. The space (or space ship) seems to be by all accounts incredible, (and I suppose for $5B it had better be), and reading the article over and looking at some of the pics of the new …
John resigned and left a couple of weeks ago. It was on good terms, but you recruited John and feel some of the sting. After all, you needed him in that role and went out and got him. He left you hanging – he left for what he considers a better opportunity before spending a year at your company. Free Agent Nation my …
Volume recruiting. The bane of the recruiting experience. I don’t care how good you are as a recruiting professional, until you’ve put on the flame suit and sat in a volume recruiting chair, you’ll never be able to fully appreciate the job – OR the people who successfully DO the job. Like your mailbox, you can clear it out every …
In between games of the NBA playoffs this weekend and as I was digging through a couple of weeks of ‘saved’ items in my Feed reader, (anyone still using feed readers?), I came across a link to a Quora thread aiming to address the question ‘What made Xerox PARC, (the legendary reseearch shop in Palo Alto), so special?’ One of …
So, Google announced last week that it is getting ready to launch an applicant tracking/job posting technology called Google Hire. Google already has a number of smaller technology companies in beta, but so far very little has leaked out from anyone on the experience and capabilities. Google does have an initial splash page up allowing people to log in, but …
McKinsey has a pretty good report out about where machines/AI can replace humans, and where they can’t. I’d encourage all in the talent space to take a look – here’s the link. What you learn from the report is that AI and other forms of automation aren’t new related to their ability to destroy jobs and cause dramatic restructuring of …
As the 2007-2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic recession fade further and further into the distance, we don’t in 2017 talk about unemployment all that much. The sustained recovery in the labor market has pushed unemployment to near “full employment” levels of about 4.5% in the US, and in many sectors and job roles most employers would report ‘good help …
Employee engagement numbers are low all over the world, and sometimes I think HR professionals forget that they’re employees, too. Work sucks for them as much as it sucks for other people. And many HR resources professionals are unhappy with their jobs because they have a lot of autonomy but no power. Let me explain. When you work in HR, …
