A great onboarding experience can keep new hires engaged and committed, and increase their learning and preparedness for their new role. In trying to ensure new employees feel supported and properly prepared, some organizations flood new hires with far too much information.

Years ago, Entrepreneur magazine offered these timeless and valuable tips on how to give praise : Praise followed by criticism is not praise. Praise followed by praise is probably a little too much praise. Ending an expression of praise with ".and stuff" nullifies the praise. And, Make it timely.

There has never been a more difficult time to be a CEO — the urgency for bold and transformative leadership echoes louder than ever.

Many employers try to prevent workers from leaving, but that’s neither practical nor possible. Instead, organizations should consider creating alumni programs to stay in touch with former workers, who can provide new business opportunities, share industry insights, enhance employer branding and reputation, and support hiring processes by providing referrals or coming back as returning employees themselves.

This post was written by Alison Green and published on Ask a Manager. When I interview people for jobs, I’m always amazed by how many of them tell me they don’t have any questions for me when prompted. Like most interviewers, I set aside time for candidates to turn the tables and ask me their own questions – because you can’t make a good decision about whether to take a job otherwise.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
