According to a...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            Employee engagement is the name of the game as we dive into 2012. Talent retention is your priority.

                                            Here’s the first understatement of the year:  2012 is shaping up to be a doozy – especially for HR.  Is there anything that touches the headlines that won’t directly...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            This is the time of year when I’m especially busy doing one of my favorite things: Talking with CHROs all over the country about their professional resolutions for the...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            When you consider all the major political and social issues we’ll be wrestling with next year, you can see how important HR will be to the national conversation.

                                            This is what I tell HR friends and clients who didn’t land the job they wanted because someone else did: “Don’t worry, chances are good that the job will...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            I’m sure you’ve heard at least one story of the hapless HR person who, after having plowed through a stack of lay-off packages and sending employees tearfully on their...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            In the course of our lives, we can all think back about that one person who was there for us during times of trial. It could have been during...                                    
                                        
                                     
                                                                                        
                                                                           
                                            We published an article on workplace bullying a short time ago.
