Employee absenteeism refers to the absence of employees from their regular work when they are typically scheduled to work. It is not easy to show up for work every day. The companies recognize this fact, and in case of emergencies and health issues, they have leave policies for employees. But when those off days are frequent, it becomes a problem and is absenteeism.

Leadership gets narrow and life shrinks for the easily offended. All leaders receive unjust criticism. You’re judged based on inadequate information, false assumptions, or someone’s unspoken preferences.

When I started researching and working on this Remarkable TV episode, I discovered that like much of our language, the meaning of the words ‘politically correct’ have changed over time – leading people to have very different opinions on the meaning of the words. And given this, I don’t think that they are very effective […].

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 Is Important to Build Trust as a New Manager. New managers should not underestimate the importance of trust in building and leading a high performing team. Trust is the foundation for all healthy relationships. An absence of trust limits a team’s ability to have constructive debate, gain full commitment, and hold each other accountable for both results and behaviors.

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.

“Without trust, we don’t truly collaborate; we merely coordinate, or at best, cooperate. It is the trust that transforms a group of people into a team.”. Stephen M.R Covey. Trust in the workplace is like a currency, which is exchanged- given and received. And like all currencies, it can be converted into some real-world values with employee engagement and increased productivity.

You know what’s more difficult than finding top talent ? Retaining them. Employee turnover is an issue for all organizations, especially for small businesses or startups. Even top companies are burdened with the headache of high turnover rates. Employee turnover is simply the percentage of employees in an organization that leaves and is replaced with new employees.

Handling specific sales situations well becomes a test of sales experience, resilience, and creativity.

The How Work Gets Done vs. the What Gets Done at Your Company. Every company has their version of what matters most in terms of HOW people behave and WHAT value they produce. In some “win-at-all cost” cultures like Oracle or those climbing Mt. Everest who are willing to walk over a dying person to summit, the WHAT is far more important and far more rewarded than the HOW.
