It’s much easier to change and improve how we communicate when we understand why we speak and behave the way we do. That’s why the most effective presenters and communicators often have a strong sense of their identities and a level of self-awareness acquired through reflecting on their beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral patterns. To become more aware of our own communication styles, and how they change due to context, you can do some inner work.

A well-designed HR investigation template can make a real difference when it comes to handling workplace complaints. Not only does a structured approach keep the process on track, but it also helps build employee trust that issues will be handled fairly. Right now, though, that trust is lacking. According to HR Acuity, only 31% of employees say they’d recommend colleagues go to HR with workplace concerns.

Navigating a relationship with a manager you perceive as ineffective or unqualified can be daunting, but it can also be a catalyst for growth. Rather than allowing frustration to erode your engagement and productivity, shift your focus to what you can control. You may not have control over who you report to, but you can control the beliefs, assumptions, and narratives you create about the situation, as well as the impact of your behavior on those around you.

Details overwhelm you when you lose sight of the big picture. Perspective enables you to reject urgent trivialities. You’re lost in the weeds when you rush from one issue to the next. Chaos and fatigue prevail when busyness obscures the big picture. Energize your leadership by rising above individual situations.

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.

Sincere managers unintentionally take responsibility for other people’s jobs. People get dumb and weak when you solve problems for them. Being the answer-manager builds your ego and weakens your team. Stop pressuring yourself to solve everyone’s problems. Leaders are irresponsible when they do other people's jobs for them.

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.

As the job market evolves, companies are experimenting with various employment types to build more flexible staffing models. One reason for this is the cost of slow hiring. On average, it takes 41 days to fill a vacancy. However, top candidates are usually off the market in just 10 days. Blending different types of employment can help plug this gap by tapping into broader talent pools while also reducing costs, boosting agility, and nurturing future talent.
