Human Resources

I have been applying to so many job postings and only got one interview. I receive so many Thanks, but no thanks letters. Some of which are very good and very personal - not the typical we value your...

💭 If you were let go from your job tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?

Hypothetically speaking, if an HR Manager tells you that we have to “terminate” an employee under one name and rehire them under a new name because they got new papers, that’s not legal, right??

I had an exit interview recently where the employee said: "The job was not the problem." It was the team culture. That stayed with me. We spend a lot of time talking about pay, workload, recruitment a...

I'm worried my company's dress policy might be a little too vague. We require people to dress in business casual, but there's nothing specific about employees' undergarments. We have a new hire who ap...

Here’s the situation: A manager says an employee isn’t performing, but there’s very little documentation. If it were you, what would your next step be?

Unpopular HR Opinion: Not every employee needs a development plan focused on promotion. Do you agree, or should every employee be working toward the next level?

Is anyone's organization planning on adding GLPs to your healthcare coverage? I've had several employees ask me if we can change our plan to include these weight loss drugs, but I'm not sure this is s...

What would you say is the biggest reason your employees quit? I think it's clear that the reason our company has such high turnover is because the salaries we offer aren't keeping up with inflation. B...

Has anyone ever been within a job and it is just not the right fit. Currently I am an hr generalist but used to be an hr mgr and now trying to go back is so hard. I have a supervisor who feels she ne...

Question for HR and recruiting professionals. I lost my job in April and have been interviewing since. During one phone screen, I paused briefly to give thoughtful answers. The recruiter repeatedly i...

The CEO I work for is so ridiculous. His latest thing is freaking out when someone takes their birthday off. He thinks it's childish for someone to want to take their birthday off. I can't figure out ...

An employee receives great performance reviews but consistently declines opportunities for growth. How would you approach that conversation?

I'm at a loss on how I can get the team to trust me. I just started a new job and the HR person I replaced was apparently the worst. Played a lot of favoritism, got people she didn't like fired, slept...

Ai may write the resume, but Ai will not be able to do the job for you. I've seen hires with stellar documentation and when the time came to do the job they were as lost as common sense.

Is anyone else besides me tired? Lately, I’ve found myself tired of Talent Acquisition. Not recruiting itself, but the constant pressure, shifting priorities, and metrics that are often tied to thin...

Many people view HR less as an "employee advocate" and more as a function that balances employee concerns against the organization's goals and risks. When are the employees going to have a department ...

Someone asked me recently: "What actually creates a good workplace culture?" My answer? I do not think it is values posters. I do not think it is free coffee. I do not think it is engagement events. I...

I have been thinking a lot about Freedom to Speak Up. It is one thing to have a route for people to raise concerns, but it is another thing entirely for staff to actually trust it. If the national str...

I have been applying for 4 months now and still unemployed. I’m already losing hope 😭😩
