Opinions, commentary and analysis on workforce management.
10 (or More) Things I Hate About Compensation Departments
Commentary: The compensation function is unwilling to be held accountable for anything, even though the combined employee compensation budget is generally the largest single variable corporate expense. Here’s what comp departments do wrong, and how they could be fixed.
The Last Word: Losing Sight
Rather than debating ‘lifetime’ jobs, or the Employee Free Choice Act, or the organized labor issue du jour, I’d rather we had a discussion about the real issues workers care about.
Are You 'Among the Best'?
I hope you’ll enter this year’s Workforce Management Optimas Awards and tell us what your organization is doing that is worthy and impressive–and delivers superior bottom-line business results.
Bad Beyond Belief
Sam Zell’s earthy, foul-mouthed demeanor makes him the perfect bad manager, as though he had been sent from central casting.
The Freelance Flood
Commentary: Freelancing is a great option for some, but hard to swallow if you’re forced into it because you find yourself out of work with no other good option for making a living, Workforce Management editor John Hollon says.
Memo to SEC, DOL: Regulate Target-Date Funds—Now
Commentary: With some $2.4 trillion sucked out of retirement accounts since early last year, lawmakers have predictably made the 401(k) system a flaming target for change, and, also predictably, their ideas are way off base—except for one.
Apology’s Sorry State
‘Why do so many people have such a hard time apologizing, especially when the act itself is such a powerful symbol of leadership and reconciliation?,’ writes Workforce Management editor John Hollon.
Comp Collapse
When the post-mortem on the financial disaster is complete, don’t be surprised when one finger is pointed at the compensation function, writes Dr. John Sullivan.
A Year-End Challenge
If your business is experiencing a downturn, now is the time to shift your HR approach so that it more closely fits the new realities.
