Employee Exit Interview Questions Checklist
The longer an employee’s tenure, the more they learn about how the company really works. This means, strange as it might seem, they’ll never be able to offer more valuable insights than on the day they leave.

Performance Improvement Plan Template [Downloadable]
When employees are underperforming, great managers don’t give up—they find a way to get them back on track. To help struggling employees, businesses can implement a Performance Improvement Plan that clearly explains where employees are failing and how they can overcome their challenges. Performance Improvement Plan Template What is a Performance Improvement Plan? A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) shouldn’t be complicated. It can be a simple form, completed by a manager and acknowledged by an employee.

Hopefully, the plan works. There’s nothing more satisfying...
How to Improve Employee Engagement Surveys
Employee engagement is essential for so much of what businesses need to succeed—retention, productivity and, ultimately, the bottom line. How best to track it, though, isn’t always clear.

This isn’t a surprise, when 74% of companies still carry out an annual employee engagement survey. Collecting all this data in one go means that by the time responses have been collected, analyzed and it’s time to take action, the findings are already out of date.

Buyer's Guide To HCM And Payroll Technology
An HCM platform is the foundation of your business, and choosing the technology is one of the most important decisions you'll make.
Get ExpertisePeople Management is the Foundation of HR
Did you know that, according to Gallup, 70% of an employee’s motivation is influenced by their manager? People management isn’t easy and takes a certain finesse to be successful. You have to be consistent in policy and procedure from the top down. Strong leadership can make all the difference.
A good leader has the ability to interact with different personality types while maintaining fair and impartial judgment. Leaders look out for their teams, from making sure each team member has the right tools and technology to get the job done to making sure there’s a mutually understood common goal, a north star. A good leader wants to see employees succeed and gives constructive feedback to help with business development, personal and professional growth.
A recent Paycor study revealed “bad bosses” is one of the top reasons employees quit. This just reiterates the importance of developing quality managers who are invested in giving their teams a purpose. Check out our People Management content to see how you can transform your people process.
