In interviews and observations with clients it’s evident that the greater the diversity of generations within the workforce the greater the opportunity for conflict and discord. The generations, in broad terms, can be described as the following: Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964) value company loyalty and long-term employment, teamwork, paying one’s…
A surprising number of high-performing employees are being overlooked. Not because their work is subpar. Not because they lack ambition. Simply because they’re not in the room. In an era of hybrid and remote work, visibility and value have become dangerously confused. The result is a subtle but powerful dynamic…
In partnership with 12twenty. Before you can make a quality hire, you need a quality talent pool, and quality talent pools don’t happen by accident. They are built through referrals, alumni, former employees, university partnerships, professional communities, and other trusted relationships that give employers something an application alone can’t: context….
Most companies measure psychological safety once a year, with one question buried inside an engagement survey. HR reports the score and the cycle closes. The number goes in a deck. That score cannot tell you what someone does when they have bad news and a good reason to stay quiet….
Hiring former athletes may be one of the simplest ways to fix a broken recruiting funnel. Most hiring managers still lean on resumes and interview scripts that reward polish over proof. They miss a signal that’s hiding in plain sight: years of competing at a high level under real pressure….

Employees who were highly visible, had strong internal advocates or fit an established idea…
I’ve spent my analyst career watching HR leaders try to justify tech spend with spreadsheets. For too long, we have treated traditional ROI like a static paper map in a high-speed digital world. If your technology isn’t actively solving human friction, it isn’t an investment—it’s expensive noise. We’ve been staring…
Implementation drift is the reason most HR technology decisions look successful before they’re ever tested. The vendor demo is polished, the implementation roadmap is approved, and stakeholders leave convinced they’ve chosen the right platform. Six months later, the software is live, but employees have begun creating workarounds. Managers approve requests…
The conversation around AI in the workplace often focuses on productivity. Organizations are investing heavily in AI because they believe it will help employees work faster, accomplish more, and improve efficiency. In many cases, that expectation is proving correct. What receives less attention is how AI is changing expectations for…
Hiring teams often discuss quality of hire after a new employee joins. They review performance, retention, manager satisfaction, and time to productivity. Those measures matter, but they arrive late. By then, the organization has already written the job description, searched the market, screened applicants, interviewed finalists, and made an offer….
Over recent years, there has been a meaningful shift in career advice. The conversation has moved from build your career to build your personal brand. Share your insights. Tell your story. Find your niche. Show up consistently. Position yourself as a thought leader. There is truth in it. Visibility and…
