What if candidates could publicly call out your company for ghosting them? Well, now that is the reality. A newly launched website called Did They Ghost You? gives job seekers a place to report employers who stop communicating with them after an interview. And apparently, there is no shortage of stories to tell. Within weeks of launching, the site had more than 2,000 companies listed, including some of the biggest names in technology, finance, and media. The website may have started partly...

Two recent reports, considered together, describe a workforce development challenge that goes beyond how artificial intelligence will change any single job. A recent report from ETS found that U.S. workers understand the need to continually adapt. In fact, 78% said job security now requires continuous adaptation, and 85% said upskilling or reskilling is a necessity. Yet only 71% reported proactively developing new skills, a lower share than in other high-growth countries such as India...

For the past several years, artificial intelligence has been promoted as a workplace productivity game changer. Employees report that AI tools help them complete tasks faster, automate routine work, and reclaim valuable time during the workweek. In fact, a recent study by Glean’s Work AI Institute found that employees estimate AI saves them approximately 11 hours each week.

Managers are often the first to notice when something isn't quite right. An employee who was once highly engaged becomes withdrawn. A top performer begins missing deadlines. Team members express concerns about a colleague who appears overwhelmed, anxious, or unusually emotional. While managers are not expected to serve as counselors or clinicians, they are increasingly expected to recognize when employees may need support and know how to respond appropriately. That is why more...

Affirmative action requirements for federal contractors were not fully established until 1978, when the U.S. Department of Labor created the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and issued the regulations contained in Executive Order 11246’s 41 CFR Part 60 and related provisions.

Supreme Court decision on same sex sports may lead to the employment arena: The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Title IX permits schools to limit participation in girls' and women's sports to students assigned female at birth and that state laws restricting such participation do not violate the Equal Protection Clause. This landmark decision provides critical guidance for educational institutions and state policymakers on athletic eligibility rules.

Troy, MI – August 24, 2026 – The American Society of Employers' (ASE) 2026/2027 Salary Budget Survey shows salary increase budgets holding essentially flat compared to last year, even as more employers appear to be engaging earlier in 2027 planning conversations than they were at this point a year ago. Based on responses from 196 organizations across Michigan, the survey tracks actual and projected salary adjustments.

How many of you have had a strategic plan significantly disrupted in the last two to three years? I have, and this isn't a failure of leadership, it's a signal that the environment has changed and our leadership has to evolve. Organizations spend significant time developing strategies, setting goals, and creating implementation plans. Yet many well-designed initiatives fail to deliver the expected results because a strategy's success ultimately depends on the organization's...

For years, employers focused on compensation, benefits, and perks as the keys to employee engagement. While those factors remain important, research continues to point to friendship as another powerful driver of workplace satisfaction.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) this month had two nominees to the National Labor Relations Board confirmed, securing a 3-1 Republican majority. Republican James Macy, a U.S. Department of Labor official, and Democrat David Prouty, were confirmed as part of a grouping of 74 nominations in a 51-47 vote.  

Artificial intelligence has become a workplace staple for many HR professionals. From drafting policies and writing job descriptions to supporting recruiting, performance management, and workforce analytics, AI is helping organizations move faster than ever before. But as adoption increases, so do questions about accountability, ethics, and the very real consequences of getting it wrong.

Background checking laws are constantly changing, and it is important for employers to keep up with changes in each location in which they conduct business. It is also worth noting that laws and regulations can vary by state, county, and even by city.

Does a one-size-fits-all health benefit program hurt employers? A new report suggests small businesses are losing talented employees because management isn't offering benefits that actually fit workers' needs and priorities. "Today's workforce needs aren't one-size-fits-all anymore, but many small businesses still feel forced into one-size-fits-all benefits," according to the "Small Business 'Bene-Fit' Gap Report" from Justworks, a cloud-based HR...

Most workplace communication is written with good intentions. We add “please” to be polite and “ASAP” to emphasize urgency. Yet research suggests these common phrases can sometimes have the opposite effect, creating confusion, reducing clarity, and slowing productivity.

Artificial intelligence is creating a paradox in the early-career job market.  Companies are increasingly using AI to perform tasks traditionally assigned to entry-level employees, yet new research suggests many employers are not abandoning early-career hiring. Instead, they are changing what they expect from employees entering the workforce.
