When someone who has traditionally been your opponent creates a great opportunity, question their motivation. Seek to fully understand the situation before you say yes. Every organization suffers from some level of political intrigue. Whether it’s hoarding of resources, manipulative tactics, or passive aggressive behavior office politics distract your organization from getting things done.

Companies operating in Latin America and the Caribbean are facing a dynamic and increasingly complex political landscape. They can no longer rely on alliances with national government leaders in power or costly arbitration when things go awry. Instead, they need better strategies to manage risk. These include proactive social media listening to identify and head off or more quickly respond to looming challenges; a community-centric approach, including investments in projects that provide long-te

Diversity initiatives will continue to be put under the microscope and face further legal attacks. That’s no excuse for abandoning the principles behind them. With the re-election of Donald J. Trump to the presidency, pundits are increasingly torn about the future of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Perhaps it’s dead: “ RIP DEI ,” read a recent headline in Fast Company.

Team Interdependence for Higher Performance: How to Foster Collaboration Many people believe that placing a group of high performers together will result in high performance. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Employee engagement is increasingly recognized as a priority for companies. However, it is commonly associated only with qualitative or intangible outcomes. This perspective can overlook the full potential that employee engagement is capable of. To dispel the misconception around engagement being limited to intangible gains, companies must calculate the ROI of employee engagement.

Employee engagement is the cornerstone of any successful organization. Engaged employees are more productive, committed, and likely to contribute to a positive work culture. However, a shocking reality exists in today’s workforce—according to a Gallup study, 70% of employees are disengaged at work. This statistic should serve as a wake-up call for leaders everywhere.

A well-designed HR investigation template can make a real difference when it comes to handling workplace complaints. Not only does a structured approach keep the process on track, but it also helps build employee trust that issues will be handled fairly. Right now, though, that trust is lacking. According to HR Acuity, only 31% of employees say they’d recommend colleagues go to HR with workplace concerns.

Hosting an awards event honoring legislators can be a boon for an association’s lobbying goals and leadership. But advance planning is critical. Advocacy is a difficult job on a good day, and at the moment it might feel appreciably harder for many associations. There’s turnover in the White House, in Congress, and at the state level, and the level of disruption President-elect Donald Trump’s might deliver during a second term is uncertain.

When startups are deciding where to locate, many consider setting up shop in “tech clusters” that have developed labor markets for the specialized staff that startups need to grow. Yet these areas are dense with talent for a reason: It’s often due to the presence of large firms with whom these fledgling companies must compete. In a new study, researchers found that when large firms increase their hiring, startups in the same location are forced to offer 10% higher salaries, while reducing their

2024 has tested every organization, and 2025 promises no less - the warning signs are everywhere. If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy. And if you’re not building it into your workplace culture right now , you’re heading for trouble.

Sincere managers unintentionally take responsibility for other people’s jobs. People get dumb and weak when you solve problems for them. Being the answer-manager builds your ego and weakens your team. Stop pressuring yourself to solve everyone’s problems. Leaders are irresponsible when they do other people's jobs for them.

It’s much easier to change and improve how we communicate when we understand why we speak and behave the way we do. That’s why the most effective presenters and communicators often have a strong sense of their identities and a level of self-awareness acquired through reflecting on their beliefs, attitudes, and behavioral patterns. To become more aware of our own communication styles, and how they change due to context, you can do some inner work.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
