Did you know employees are three times more likely to be engaged at work if they have managers who hold regular meetings with them? While many managers do hold 1-on-1 meetings with their direct reports, it’s far too common that they are rushed, tactical, and transactional. When organizations are able to conduct transformational 1-on-1s, performance, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement are significantly boosted.

Have you ever been to meetings / workshops / events that you found very unproductive? This should not be the case. Most probably the facilitation of the event was not good. A good facilitator should be aware of what aspects are important to successfully prepare a group session and drive it to achieve its goal. A few of the most important aspects of this are the structure (rules, times, tools) and the process (flow, interactions, outcomes) that need to be used to achieve the goal.

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

It’s that time of the year. It’s the performance review season. Employees are on the edge of their seats. Do get the raise? Are they penalized for the 2-week vacation they took? And the feeling is equally mutual. Managers are often confused about how to conduct a performance review. And as if things weren’t bad enough, performance reviews are extremely inefficient.

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.

We get frustrated and think, "What a waste of time!" Yet, it happens again and again. For multiple reasons: people schedule meetings that don’t need to happen; they invite people that don’t need to be there; hold meetings for much longer than they should; they don't have a purpose or an agenda; and they waste our prec

You don’t need to invest in exotic trips or an in-house spa to make your employees happy. Sometimes it can be as simple as a team lunch.

Boosting workplace motivation is a tricksome thing for all managers. It is an integral part of their day to day work, which helps people to improve and do great things in newer ways every day. Quite probably, doing that is the toughest challenge that managers have to face. Pay hikes act as an excellent motivator for the workforce.

Experiencing emotions is just proof that we feel and react to the changes that happen in our day to day lives. Even though emotions are experienced in all facets of our lives, we must express them appropriately according to the environment.
