I am consistently surprised by the number of executives who are aware of bullying, but don’t take action. I know it is not easy to be a leader, especially when there is dysfunctional behavior. Human resource departments don’t have the bandwidth and may not have the expertise to help employees navigate toxic work environments.
James Schreier's insight:
I can only state very strongly how much I agree with -- and am frustrated by -- the introduction to this article! Why?

Employee onboarding best practices are the anchor to stop you from going adrift. Surely, you’ve had that sinking feeling? The one where you’ve invested in a super new hire, but it didn’t work out. When it comes to new hires leaving early, you’re not the only fish in the sea. Gen Z spends just over […]

A company will pay $175,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging it told a staffing company that an employee had a “nervous breakdown” and that it wished to end her assignment.

From my perspective, it both fascinates and scares me that these types of incidences continue to occur.

The pods essentially work three days of 13-14 hour shifts, then have four days off, with one seven-day stretch per month where they are off consecutively.
James Schreier's insight:
A fascinating alternative that appears to be working. Coming out of a retail background, this is something I likely would have supported. Definitely worth listening to given today's recruiting challenges!

Starting Jan. 1, businesses with offices in New York City must be assured that biases do not appear in their AI tools. And this law could be coming to a city or state near you.
James Schreier's insight:
This is extremely interesting -- and important -- especially given the growth of AI and its applications -- and its implications. I'm posting this here and to two other "topics" because of its significance. One, it's an issue that should be explored with the "Implications Wheel." Two, the audit process specifically called for looking for "unintended" biases. There's also an interesting connection to the reports on the success of McDonald's new AI driven hiring process (posted separately here).

Workplace changes that were initially forced by the COVID-19 pandemic have produced clear benefits for many organizations and their employees. McKinsey & Company, Harvard Business Review, and many others have recently covered employment trends and business insights that have emerged from the ongoing global crisis. One theme is common: Remote work and the use of technology for facilitating connection — from professional meetings, to informal happy hours, to family visits — will continue to prevail post-pandemic.

Every year, the Gallup Organization produces a global report on the state of the workforce. Their sample size is impressive; Gallup analyzed 112,312 business units in 96 countries worldwide. The Alert covers the six major developments outlined in Gallup's Executive Summary.

A great summary of the Gallup Report -- and always a source for great workforce insights.

Layoffs are never an easy decision for a company to make, but by providing the impacted employees with outplacement services, you can show them compassion and help them beat unemployment and find their next job.

Dear Madeleine, I manage a team in a large company that recently went to an Unlimited PTO policy. I am glad, because tracking and trying to get people to take their PTO was a pain. So far, it has worked pretty well. The policy is that people need to request holiday time in advance, mainly…

Quiet quitting, a term that gained momentum in August, refers to a worker’s refusal to go above and beyond for an employer, or doing the bare minimum. Nearly half of all U.S. workers are quiet quitting, according to a September Gallup Poll, and in the retail industry the figures are likely higher.

A good customer service perspective on the issue!

This is a guest post by Sean Glombowski. I previously worked with Sean and stayed connected with him. When I saw his LinkedIn post about the job hunt, I knew I had to get him to share. Thankfully, he did. I'm proud to introduce you to Sean today and hope you take something away from his article. Merriam-Webster

HR professionals sometimes find themselves caught between employer demands and legal requirements.

How does this happen in 2022? How can HR have the power to address this better/faster? What can be done to make sure "managers" (obviously unqualified) aren't allowed -- even to be managers?

An HR professional in the case claimed she fired the plaintiff after discovering text messages on his phone that suggested he was soliciting sex workers.
James Schreier's insight:
What I find interesting about this case is not the text messages allegedly discovered, it's the almost overwhelming complexity of the case. In part it's the continually growing challenge for HR to manage performance (very unclear here) and to respond.

Let employees do the job they were hired to do. If this sounds like the concept of empowerment, well, it is. After you hire good people and properly train them to do their jobs, don’t get in their way!

I highlighted the first point because I had a major client years ago who hired about 90% of their new employees without the new employee knowing what the job would be or even what department they'd be working in. It was not uncommon for employees to report to work at 8 a.m. and quit by noon! There was actually a "dumping ground" department where individuals that HR couldn't "place" based on a reason -- "just send them to..."

Skilled credentials, such as micro-credentials, digital badges and industry-recognized certificates, are less expensive than a college degree and designed to help prepare workers for better jobs. But employers often don’t recognize such credentials.
