Because we get so many questions about what an employee handbook should cover, we thought we’d share a negative example with you. Examples of what not to do can be illuminating and memorable learning experiences. Indeed, “I should probably do this” doesn’t always stick as well as “nope, never going to do that.” The following […]
From “all aboard!” to “huh?”—poor onboarding procedures have a real financial impact on employers. Here’s what you lose when new hires feel unprepared. In the old days, before a ship or train would depart the dock or station, a conductor, captain, or some other official with a handlebar mustache would yell, “all aboard!” Apart from […]

And for good reason: organizations that invest in employee engagement typically outperform their competitors, retain their talented workers for longer, experience fewer workplace incidents, and see higher rates of customer satisfaction. But how can you tell your employees are engaged? What […]
Legalization is a funny thing. For years, cannabis advocates have predicted that it’s only a matter of time until the United States removes cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act and the substance becomes legal for medical and recreational use everywhere.
