I keep hearing everywhere that all organizations want from employees is people who are problem solvers! Executives when asked what they are looking for in future and current employees will wax poetically about we just need ‘good’ people (which is really slang for more people who look and act like ‘us’) who can ‘solve problems’.

Sometimes I forget that many other HR and Talent pros aren’t as geeky about the profession as I am. I like to break down the profession of HR on the following scale: 1. The 1%ers. These are the people who really get HR and Talent. They are the ones who actually decide what the future of […]

We are constantly bombarded in the media about what we should be eating and what we shouldn’t be eating. Just last week the FDA came out with it’s new ban on Transfats starting in 2018. While this is a good thing for the health of our society, it’s just one example of how we are […]

I had a couple of communications recently that lit a fire under my ass over the concept of ‘meaningful work’. You see, there is this widely held belief by a great number of HR pros that to have true employee engagement your employees must feel like they have meaningful work. I don’t necessarily disagree with […]
Workforce had an interesting article – When the War on Talent Ends with a Peace Treaty – regarding some national non-profit teaching institutions who regularly found themselves competing against each other for teacher talent. Being “non-profit” these organizations felt that it was their “mission” to find a better way to recruit teachers. A better way, meaning […]

You already know I’m not a fan of labor unions. I just don’t see the point to them in today’s society. They were needed once in our history. They are no longer needed. Employers, for the most part, in today’s information is everywhere world, can’t afford to treat employees bad. It doesn’t mean that we […]
