In any organization, there is one thing that is guaranteed, there will be change. If an organization wants to stay current, relevant, then change is inevitable. It is crucial for organizations to be able to adapt and grow.

It’s been said that on the first date, there are two things you don’t discuss: politics and religion. For generations, the same could be said for one topic in the workplace: how much money you make. But now, the Department of Labor is proposing a new rule that would “bar pay secrecy and encourage pay transparency among federal contractors”.

You have made the excellent decision to invest in management or leadership training for your company. You are excited about the potential for change and ready to see improvement in your workforce. As you are making a substantial investment in your people, make sure you set up your team for success to make the training effective.

It makes no difference if you pronounce it to-MAY-to or toe-MAH-toe. Whether it’s in a sauce or a salsa: a tomato is a tomato. Did you know that unwelcome action towards others in the workplace don’t use the same naming convention?

I get asked a lot by my clients to help them plan for the future. As an HR Business Partner at Helios HR, my job is to work with senior management teams to plan for the unexpected. To help them continuously move their human capital forward successfully. Sometimes, these organizations that want to plan for the future just want to mitigate their risk of an employee leaving the organization. So this got me thinking, what is the true difference between succession planning versus replacement planning?
