You can usually tell the difference between an employee who’s really satisfied with their job and someone who’s just skating along. They might volunteer for extra projects, bring a box of donuts around the office more often, and generally lift up the rest of the team. That’s because when someone is satisfied with their job, every day matches exactly what they expect. They still have to deal with unexpected problems or situations, but their overall workday, week, and year generally match what they expect. Measuring job satisfaction is measuring the gap between an employee’s expectations and the ..read more

Have you ever worked with someone you’d describe as “aimless?” They flit in and out of the office, wander around during their lunch break, and never seem like they’re up to anything. The problem rarely comes from the employees themselves. Usually, they just don’t have a clear goal to shoot for. They’re given a list of tasks, they check them off, and then they check out. Compare that to someone who has a clear goal to aim for all quarter (or all year) and who knows exactly how their day-to-day work contributes to that goal. They’re motivated, they’re on task, and they’re innovating. If performa ..read more

The AI furor might be long past, but the tools are here to stay. Tons of tools HR teams are already using have AI features built right in, so you might be using them without realizing it. But whether your team hasn’t implemented AI in their workflows yet or you want to get more out of what you’re already doing, here are a few things to consider. For one, there are four main types of artificial intelligence HR teams can work with: Generative AI tools use massive banks of data to create human-equivalent text, images, and other types of content.

Short-staffed organizations don’t have enough people to handle all the work that needs to get done. When that goes on for too long, employees start taking notice and employee engagement suffers.

No matter how much work you put into your hiring plan or how closely you watch attrition and turnover, your organization will likely be short-staffed at one point or another. When this is the case, you’ll have a ..read more
