Bringing Recognition to Real Estate: Minto Group’s Story
Bringing about culture change can be a challenge for any organization – where do you begin? How can you organically build a culture of appreciation, even with a large population of offline workers who don’t have access to computers?
We recently spoke to Dave Bond, director of talent management and total rewards at the Minto Group, to discuss how the home building and property management company modernized its approach to social recognition and saw immediate results in terms of employee reach...

#SHRM17: A New Perspective on ‘All In’
At SHRM’s annual conference in New Orleans this week, the theme was “all in” – what it means to be all invested in your career, in the business, and in your people.
What happens when you’re not all in? What if you don’t treat your employees like humans? I got a glimpse of that on my journey home yesterday.
While waiting for a layover in Newark, I received several text updates that my flight was delayed. I wouldn’t get home until past midnight, but at least I was getting home. After four hour...

How to Kill Happiness at Work – Part 2
One of our most popular blog posts last year was titled, “How to Kill Happiness at Work.” Either HR people are really cruel or they’re genuinely concerned about the happiness of their employees (we’re guessing it’s the latter).
In that post, I shared some interesting research from Woohoo Inc. on the causes of bad days at work. A global survey of more than 700 workers showed the top five causes of bad days are:
Bad bosses (lack of help and support) – 40% Bad relationships with co-workers (ne...June 13, 2017

Researcher and Storyteller Brené Brown Joins WorkHuman 2018
Emotions are an innate part of the human experience. Just because you step foot into an office or a meeting doesn’t mean you automatically let go of the emotions you carry with you outside of work. Our workplaces wouldn’t be very human if that were the case.
So how can we acknowledge and embrace even the challenging emotions – like vulnerability and shame? How can we create more human work environments that empower our people to be their true, authentic selves?
Today we are thrilled to form...

6 Lessons Learned at WorkHuman 2017
Last week we held our third annual WorkHuman conference – an event that has grown five times in size since its inception in 2015. This year, 1,600 HR leaders gathered at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge to learn how social recognition, connection, and appreciation create a more human and inclusive work culture where people can bring their whole, authentic selves to their work.

Employees for Life
(Listen to our interview with Lee Burbage in the episode of WorkHuman Radio embedded at the top of this post.)
Heading up the people team at The Motley Fool, one of my favorite self-appointed duties is to greet Fools (that’s what we call each other at The Motley Fool – it’s a sign of love and affection, I promise) for their first day on the job and show them around.
One of the first things I say to new recruits is: “We hope this is the last job you will ever have.” That’s because we believe i...

10 Tips for Boosting Retention and Performance in Healthcare
Anyone who has worked in healthcare, or has family and friends in the field, knows that it takes a special kind of person to thrive in a healthcare setting. Healthcare workers are driven by a genuine desire to care for people. They’re often in high-pressure situations, working long shifts during weekends and holidays.
So it’s no surprise that turnover is one of the biggest issues facing healthcare organizations today. In a recent Leaders for Today (LFT) survey of nearly 900 healthcare worke...
