Acqui-Hires: Integrating Culture After Mergers
It’s widely understood that about half of America’s marriages now end in divorce . (Actually, the divorce rate has fallen in recent years.) What’s less well-known is that, as with marriage, a roughly similar proportion of corporate mergers and acquisitions— 40 percent —also fail to fulfill the hopes of those who enter them. What’s the reason for the iffy prospects for M&A success? In a nutshell: It’s placing your trust in hope instead of doing your homework. In my experience,

Building a Winning Workplace Culture – Part 2
T rain Every person, at every level in an organization needs some level of training and development. The rate of innovation is accelerating at a mind-numbing pace, and no matter what role a person holds, the skills of today will become insufficient for the work of tomorrow. Whether it is in the area of people readiness, a deeper technical expertise, management training or an ability to take feedback as constructive guidance; the development of the workforce must be a core te

Be A Change Agent: Disrupt Traditional HR Approaches
Today’s workforce is unfortunately more disengaged than ever. Perhaps it is because of the generational shift from boomers to millennials, or maybe because people are generally disenchanted with our changing society — whether it’s the effect of politics, government, religion, healthcare or the environment. Many employees are skeptical of their leaders, influenced by what they see or read in the media. Honestly I don’t blame them. It has become a very tumultuous and confusing

They want to get to know you and figure out if you’re the right person for this

Is Employee Retention An American Fable?
Never before have US companies had a harder time keeping their employees ALIVE and PRESENT at work. Maybe this FREE Agent mindset people are talking about has some real perks for both sides of the equation. I have been studying employment and work-place dynamics for over twenty years and one could say that I have seen my fair share of “best places to work” as well as, my fair share of “where is the excape hatch” places to work. If a hire is made and it is not a fit, then i
