If you are not living under a rock or have cut yourself out of this social world, then you must know the importance of diversity in the workplace. Bringing diversity in the workplace is not a trend to follow nor a quota a company needs to meet. It is also not only a social responsibility to practice diversity in the workplace. We intuitively know that it’s a pathway where every corporate need to walk along.

What separates high performing organizations from all the rest? Research shows that quality 1-on-1 meetings — those indispensable conversations between managers and employees — are a huge factor! One-on-ones can range from dreaded, “check-the-box” status updates to energizing, even life-changing conversations. As we’ll see below, science shows the best conversations have several things in common.

If you’ve taken any analytics or statistics courses, you’ll have been bombarded with cautions about how analytics can go wrong. For example: Random outcomes appear meaningful to the untrained eye. Small sample sizes give misleading results. Without good control groups, you can’t be sure what caused an outcome. Correlation is not causation. We could go on at some length.

Human Resource professionals understand more than most why learning and development opportunities are vital. One study found that a whopping two-thirds of employees actually changed jobs due to a lack of L&D. Perhaps this is because many companies don’t know how to create a learning and development program internally, or lack the resources to provide what they see as a perk, via external learning experiences like conferences and seminars.

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.

As a quick disclaimer: Delegation isn’t inherently bad, and many of those business articles telling you how to “delegate smarter and get more done” have recommendations worth considering. People are promoted to management positions because they’re great at what they do, and it can be difficult to let go of that work to focus on leading.
