Do you compliment your coworkers for their good job? Or, when you are in a team, do you recognize your coworker’s efforts? If you do, then how often? We invest most of our time and energy at work, yet more often we treat each other like outsiders. And when it comes to verbal compliments, most of us lack in that effort, even though we know that it doesn’t cost us any money.

Is infighting damaging your team morale and retention? Do you know what types of conflict are healthy and which are not? When you do intervene, do you have a strategy, or just ”wing it” and hope for the best? People have different ideas; this diversity helps us overcome any individual shortcomings. It also means conflict is inevitable on projects. Whenever we have people contribute different opinions about a solution, there will be some level of conflict.

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.

Key Points Organize your change success metrics into three categories — completion, achievement, and satisfaction — to ensure you take a comprehensive view of the effectiveness of your change effort. When articulating what success looks like, consider using a range rather than a single point. It is rare to achieve perfection, but progress is often quite doable.

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.

Addressing poor employee performance has always been challenging, uncomfortable, and awkward at the same time. It is a situation that a manager has to face at some point in their career. But what is the exact definition of poor performance? Well, for different organizations, the meaning may vary. But the core definition includes not meeting deadlines, lack of discipline, falling short of expectations, and much more.

People tend to form split-second impressions related to seemingly big characteristics like trustworthiness and competence. Once formed, first impressions are hard to change as people tend to hold onto those speedy judgments stubbornly.

When developing your plan, be realistic about the time and effort you can invest in data collection and analysis. It’s often a good idea to focus on a few key measures. Your plan should include how you will monitor and discuss progress towards your goals.

Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, organizations around the world depended on the far off working structure. Gradually and consistently, they are presently hoping to continue - by re-opening the workplaces. While they do that, it's critical to have an HR agenda to handle this troublesome stage. Such agendas will differ from organization to organization yet there is certainly a summed up rendition of some particular issues that HRs can keep an eye out before continuing their job on-site.
