The first few days at a new job should be exciting and scary, kind of like doing the tango. Instead, it's often spent learning the Human Resources shuffle, a dance involving your hands, lots of paperwork, and quick trots between administrative offices. Often, paperwork takes all day to complete. That's an automatic enthusiasm-dampener. It doesn't have to be this way. Here's what hiring managers can do to expedite this process, improve productivity, and, as a bonus, even increase employee retention: digital onboarding.

Digital onboarding replaces the traditional onboarding paperwork process with technology. Documents such as offer letters, I-9s, W-4s, and employee handbooks can be issued and electronically signed online.

After looking at thousands of new hires from Workpop's hiring platform, we learned that when companies utilize digital onboarding, over 65 percent of new hires electronically signed their new-hire documents within a day of receiving them, while 90 percent completed the process by the end of one week.

Here's why digital onboarding can be financially rewarding: the documents can be signed at the employee's leisure, even prior to the first day of employment, instead of having to spend all or part of the first shift doing it.

Digital learning is where it’s at – if you want to attract learner’s attention, meet them where they are, when they need information, and then help them to retain it.

In the last couple of years, I have spoken to many corporate Learning and Development practitioners about how they may support and enable opportunities for their workforce to learn collaboratively with each other in and during the flow of their every day work. That is, “social learning’.

When it comes to professional services, Deloitte is a firm whose results you can rely on. It co-operates closely with the leading companies and corporations, and this co-operation lays the groundwork for their analytic report analysing the current situation. Not so long ago, Deloitte has published their latest report, Global Human Capital Trends 2016, in which it shared the findings about the main trends in and around HR, and a whole section of the report is dedicated to the subject of learning. In this article, we aim to summarize the key ideas and trends the report touches upon.

 

Lately, executives and leaders of many companies began to realize that quality learning provided in the workplace environment is one of the few factors that can help attract valuable candidates, make working in the company more engaging, and help retain talent.

 

The ubiquity of various mobile devices featuring round-the-clock internet access makes learning an activity one can participate in anywhere, anytime. These days, you can learn anything online. One can easily find a video or a podcast on any topic, created by the leading professionals in the field, and obtain new skills - or even an academic degree - without leaving one’s desk, or while drinking coffee in a cafe.

To make the most effective changes to our learning and development programs we need to know this new learner profile that is rising: “Empowered Learner.”

This was a "remarkable" year for hiring, according to Glassdoor’s chief economist, Andrew Chamberlain. He says that the U.S. added an average 180,000 new jobs per month, well above the "break even" pace of job growth of 50,000 to 110,000 economists estimate the economy needs to keep Americans fully employed.

 

Pay is also on the rise. Median base pay for U.S. workers was up 3.1% from 2015, the fastest pace in three years. Can we top all that in 2017?

 

According to Glassdoor’s newest report on job trends, there are also a record number of unfilled jobs—5.85 million as of April—which represents the most since the BLS started tracking job openings in 2000. That’s compounded with the fact that every employer is hiring for tech roles, Chamberlain observes, and there are just so many talented candidates out there.

It’s no secret that a well-designed workplace is a more pleasant environment to spend work hours than one that is poorly planned and decorated. However, spiffier digs could also have an impact on your company’s financial health.

 

A new survey by the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) found a correlation between office design and the bottom line. The survey queried 1,206 full-time U.S. employees at companies of various sizes. More than half are in managerial or professional level positions who spend most of their working time in an office leased or owned by their employer. Respondents to the survey exhibited attitudes that suggest there is a strong correlation between good office design and retention.

This is the time of year when we focus on giving thanks, with many of us sharing our gratitude with friends and family. But when is the last time you thanked your employees? Coworkers? Or boss? If you haven’t recognized the members of your work team lately, you need to repair the oversight before your Thanksgiving Day leftovers are history.

 

Gratitude is absolutely vital in the workplace, says UC Davis psychology professor Robert Emmons, author of The Little Book of Gratitude: Creating a Life of Happiness and Wellbing by Giving Thanks, and a leading researcher on the subject. "Most of our waking hours are spent on the job, and gratitude, in all its forms, is a basic human requirement," he says. "So when you put these factors together, it is essential to both give and receive thanks at work."

 

Gratitude has been the subject of numerous studies, and the findings could be beneficial to your workplace.

Employee productivity can be a tricky goal. Managers and supervisors try on a regular basis with a variety of tools to gain increased performance and with varying success. However, all realize sooner or later that the same tool doesn’t work on a permanent basis, and many times conditions or the organization limit the ability to use other tools that would produce results. So what to do as an alternative?

Organizations far and wide have for years attempted to crack the code on what makes for a healthy and profitable work culture. Well, let me save you time and money and simply break it to you here: It is trust.

 

We already know this to be true from several studies. For example, Great Place to Work -- the global research consultancy that partners with Fortune to conduct the annual study of those "best companies" -- confirms that trust is the human behavior you cannot afford not to have.

 

The research on those companies (Google, to no surprise, being No. 1 on the list seven out of the last 10 years) says that 92 percent of employees surveyed believe that management is transparent in its business practices. And transparency begets trust.

There it is: your dream job. There’s just one problem. You don’t meet all the qualifications.

 

It's a conundrum. Should you channel your inner life coach and go for it? Or should you follow the rules and wait until you have the right experience or credentials? If you sit it out, you may miss a great opportunity. On the other hand, you don’t want to waste your time or, worse, alienate hiring managers by wasting theirs.

 

It’s a tough question, but you should almost always err on the side of "go for it," says career expert Cynthia Shapiro author of What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get a Job Around Here? 44 Insider Secrets That Will Get You Hired. After all, everyone has to take a job that stretches skills if they want to move ahead. Before you do, these career coaches and recruiters recommend asking yourself these six questions.

Of course, we all want to do our very best work. But is there a difference between simply striving for solid quality and obsessing so much over every last detail that it becomes completely counterproductive? To put it simply: yes—a big difference.

 

While I never want to be the one to discourage you from putting your all into something (hey, your dedication is admirable!), there are a few specific instances when it’s acceptable to stop chasing absolute perfection.

 

"Uh, like when?" is likely the question you’re asking yourself now. Well, here are four times you have permission to stop fixating and just settle for plain ol’ good enough.
