There's a great case to be made for dropping college degree requirements. As college enrollment continues to decline, companies will do well if they expand their talent pool.

We've all experienced change over the past two years, but we haven't all experienced it in the same ways. HR leaders need to remember this when thinking about their teams. We know what most employees want: appreciation, flexibility, and a sense of connection, but people's experiences vary, and your teams might have different needs.

Here, we analyze how the last two years, and specifically the Great Resignation, have affected the lives, feelings, and needs of 1,000 U.S. workers.

Maria Roche and Andy Wu make a great point here: there is no one-size-fits-all strategy to reimagining the workplace. But a great place to start is by considering the size of your organization, then identifying a strategy for growth.

A framework for designing a space (physical or virtual) that aligns with your strategic needs.

AI and other automation tools have a lot to offer HR teams, from recruitment and compensation to training and evaluation. But, the most successful integration of these technologies happens when HR teams ask the right questions. And as David Anderson, Margrét V. Bjarnadóttir, and David Gaddis Ross explain, that means taking the time to understand the data.

The technology has potential to improve HR processes — but managers must be aware of its limitations.

Brent Chudoba makes a great point here. One of the best things leaders today can do for their teams is to encourage wellness. A great way to do this is by modeling what a healthy work-life balance looks like. When people see leaders doing this, they're more likely to follow suit, creating a work environment where people can thrive instead of burnout.

The employee experience affects everything from recruiting and retention, to productivity and the bottom line. So much so that when Willis Towers Watson studied the 30 highest-performing companies in the world, they found all of them invest a great deal in creating a great employee experience.

Great insights from Jennifer McClure. Feeling connected to your peers and your company's purpose is more important than ever. When people feel this sense of connection, it imbues a sense of purpose in their work, and that is something we should be trying to cultivate within our teams.

Here, Jennifer McClure reveals what leaders can do to create an authentic culture of connection at work, even in a remote environment.

After 2021 saw a staggering 40% of employees thinking about leaving their jobs, HR teams are left with a big task: how do we regain employees' trust and engagement? Ultimately it might take more than a culture reset - we need to start rethinking the nature of work itself.

policies should be seen as the norm, not a weakness by any means. And while it's great to see more companies embracing this mindset, we still have more progress to make.

Dr. Elora Voyles, an industrial organizational psychologist, delves into what the “Zoom ceiling” may mean for employers’ DEI efforts.

As Kevin Diestel explains, we need to stop talking about the "future of work", and focus instead on improving the "now of work". And that means embracing HR tech in new ways.

"The adoption of new tech, a shift in mindset, and a change in management strategies have combined to help the C-Suite remedy three key areas that urgently need attention: the human capital equation, employee sentiment and workplace wellness."

New digital tools—measuring everything from performance to how happy employees are—can help leaders better meet the needs of their workforce.

In order to face staffing and talent acquisition challenges head-on this year, HR teams will need to focus on investing in hiring capabilities, creating more energized interview processes, and widening the pool of potential candidates.

Hiring won't get easier anytime soon, experts say, but HR leaders can take steps to survive the challenges.

When work is your main driving sense of purpose in life, it can lead to frustration and eventual burnout. As HR teams, one of our biggest goals in 2022 should be to not only help our teams find a greater sense of purpose in their careers but a greater sense of purpose outside of work too.

The reason why so many of us are at the end of our rope? We allowed work to be what gave our lives meaning
