Employee Engagement Tops the List of 2017 HR TrendsEmployee Engagement Tops the List of 2017 HR TrendsEmployee Engagement Tops the List of 2017 HR Trends ConlanAfter a big hiring year in 2016, many HR managers say they are turning their attention to employee retention. The reason all that recruiting work is wasted if the employees dont stick around.Employee engagement will play a big role in the HR realm in 2017, says Brad Stultz, human resources director at Totally Promotional, which custom prints promotional products in Coldwater, Ohio. With record low unemployment rates continuing across the country, employees find themselves in a position to change career paths on a whim.To that end, here are the 2017 HR trends that HR managers envision.Continuing Evolution of HR AnalyticsLooking ahead, technology will play a central role in helping employers make decisions both in the shortand long term. We will continue to see an incremental shift to using sophisticated analytics to build HR st rategy to benefit both the larger workforce and prioritize workforce development investments. Jewell Parkinson, head of human resources at SAP North America, Newtown Square, PennsylvaniaContinued Growth of Flexible SchedulesFlexible scheduling has been rising in popularity across all age ranges and I believe that in 2017 businesses will fully embrace it as a work perk. We offer all of our employees (Millennials in particular) flex scheduling and find that there are no downsides to this offering. We trust them to get their work done, and because of that relationship, they always get everything done and done well. Dana Case, director of operations at MyCorporation, Calabasas, CaliforniaIncreased Use of Benefits for RetentionAn HR manager should closely review their benefits offerings to ensure they are in league with comparable competitors. The Millennial worker is drawn to the ancillary benefits that an employer may offer. Brad Stultz, human resources director, Totally Promotional, C oldwater, OhioIncreased Communication of Mission and CultureBranding the employer culture from the start is the best way to recruit and retain top talent in a competitive global landscape. As Millennials shape the workforce, traditional items like bonuses and other perks dont matter as much as fitting in with the employer culture and sharing a common vision. Your company must focus on their unique culture and deliberately shape it to stay relevant to top talent. Laura Platt, director of human resources for Spreadshirt U.S., BostonBetter Education about Total RewardsWe have lots of long-term employees, and lots who are eligible to retire. We want to keep people who could be their replacements in the pipeline. Weve been focusing on a total rewards approach and working hard to educate employees about things we offer, such as pension, tuition reimbursement to help them gain skills and knowledge to grow in their career and wellness initiatives. Mary Faulkner, head of talent, public secto r water utilityMore durchschaubar CommunicationI think in 2017 were going to see a focus on having employees feel their voices are being heard. Town-hall-style meetings, fireside CEO chats and skip-level meetings will give employees ample chances to get their ideas pitched. This will make employees feel valued regardless of position or seniority.Keeping information communicated properly, including financials, will create a trust among employees and ownership, which will boost retention. For most companies, the days of high-level board room secrets are over. Those companies who demonstrate transparency will have high employee retention rates. Greg Kuchcik, human resources director, Zeeto, San DiegoIncreased Investment in DevelopmentEmployers will retain recent new hires by increasing the investment in development activities. Most employees want to stay with a company for many years, but will move if they dont believe the company is truly invested in their future. Unfortunately, some companies reduce their investment in learning and staff development as turnover rates rise, but it may be necessary to take the opposite approach to increase employee retention. Michele McDermott, senior vice president of human resources, Assurance, Schaumburg, Illinois

Common Area Maintenance (CAM) Fees in Leasing

Common Area Maintenance (CAM) Fees in LeasingCommon Area Maintenance (CAM) Fees in LeasingWhen you lease commercial space, you pay for more than just the actual square footage you will occupy. In many commercial leases, and in particular retail and industrial space leases, extra fees are often referred to as Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fees. In non-industrial spaces, you may hear this expense referred to as Load Factor, which includes CAM fees. CAM expenses are allocated to tenants on a pro-rata basisthe moresquarefootagea tenant rents, the greater percentage of CAM expenses it must pay. There are two basic calculations for CAM fees variable CAM fees, where the amount a tenant is required to contribute increases based on a number of factors, and flat CAM fees, where the fees are a fixed amount. CAM fees may be paid monthly, quarterly, annually, or even charged from time to time when major repairs to the building or the entire business/industrial park are required. CAM fees can esca late at a different satz than the monthly lease rate because they tend to be more variable. As a result, it is important that your lease spells out the difference between variable and fixed CAM fees and includes some sort of cap, or make it clear the maximum your CAM fees can be increased each year. This rate of increase should be a separate consideration from how much your basic rent increases each year. Definitions Narrow and Misleading Many online definitions of CAM fees define them as fees for a tenant sharing a portion of the direct costs of maintaining very specific common areas. These oversimplified definitions are bedrngnis entirely accurate, and a landlord may include many indirect costs as CAM fees that are not so obvious. This practice has been hotly debated among industry professionals as to whether or not this is ethical, or even legal. In short, you should never sign a lease without understanding what CAM fees titel in your unique commercial lease. The Purpose Both CAM and Load Factor fees serve the same basic purpose to require tenants to help cover the landlords direct expenses for common areas. Common areas can include both internal (hallways, elevators, lobbies, public bathrooms, etc.) and external expenses (parking lots, landscaped areas, etc.). List exactly what your CAM fees will cover in the lease, how often they are to be paid, and how much they can be increased each year. If you will be required to help with the cost of major renovations like parking lot repaving or any type of structural repairs, get it in writing. The landlord should list when these repairs were last made and when they are scheduled or anticipated to be done in the future. Not all landlords will require tenants to help with expenses like roofing, parking lot maintenance, and structural repairs. There really is no standard that applies to leases, so do not rely on simply seeing CAM fees in your lease besure CAMfees are explained. A landlord may include a wide s ortiment of expenses simply listed as CAM Fees or Administrative Fees on the premise that these are expenses the landlord pays for the benefit of all tenants. If CAM fees are not clearly listed or explained in a lease, be sure to specifically ask if you are paying for any of the following Security systems or salaries or other costs associated with onsite security personnelPermits, taxes, insurance, or any legal costsAdvertising, signs, orother general overhead expensesincurred by the landlord for operating or promoting the building (i.e., salaries or benefits for on-site or even off-site employees)Repair and renovations of the maintenance of the property, including landscaping additions or redesigns, exterior painting, exterior or parking lot lighting fixtures, paving or resurfacing, roofing, or repairs and upgrades to central plumbing, electrical, sewer, and HVAC systems Utilities, rent, or any other costs of maintainingseparate leasing office spaceseither on- or off-site Unders tandExactlyWhat CAM Fees Are Listed in Your Commercial Lease Here is a cautionary tale to take note of. In 1989, a professional rentedindustrial spaceto open a craft consignment and hobby store. The park appeared to be in good condition, and the landlord welches a friend of the renters family and cut the rent by a third as a courtesy. Since this was thefirst industrial leasethe renter had signed, they did not fully appreciate the power of CAM fees. In other words, they signed a binding legal document without a clue as to what they were signing. They did not know what a Triple Net Lease was, only that they should avoid signing one. ATriple Net Leaseis the least favorable of all leases for tenants it requires you to pay for maintenance, taxes, and insurance. When the renter asked the landlord what type of lease they were about to sign, the landlord never mentioned the term Triple Net. Instead, the landlord told the renter that their lease included CAM and administrative fees. What th ey did not realize at the time was that the administrative fees included taxes, insurance, and a whole host of other very expensive costs. Only one month into the lease, the park owner began extensive park renovations, including redesigning the front units to appear more like retail space. Signs were changed, the building was repainted, and some structural changes were made to the front of the industrial park. The bill was divided among all tenants, and although the renter had a very small unit, they were stuck with a $5,000 bill- their portion of the park upgrades, even though their unit was on the side and in no way benefited directly from any of the improvements. Other tenants were hit with nearly $20,000 in renovation fees. Had the renter read the lease more carefully, they would have known enough to at least ask if any upgrades were scheduled in the near future and to see that what they thought was asimple lease was actually a Triple Net Lease in disguise.

The meaning paradox is life about you or other people

The meaning paradox is life about you or other peopleThe meaning paradox is life about you or other peopleImagine a choice between two life paths. They are different, and they diverge from one another, but they are also complimentary, and they are paths that we all follow in one way or another.The first - you are given a process, and you are given a responsibility, and the outcome that emerges as they collide is pure satisfaction. The only catch? You are alone on this path.The second?- ?you have this same path in front of you, but the process and the responsibility dont ever fully merge, so there is never any pure satisfaction?- ?no escape from dissatisfaction. Instead, what you have are other people in yur life to share that dissatisfaction with, and that dissatisfaction eventually becomes infused with a deep sense of meaning that yur life would otherwise lack.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neurosc ience, and moreIn Mahayana Buddhism, there is an ideal archetype known as a Bodhisattva. The general Buddhist doctrine argues that life is full of suffering. It also promises that by following an ancient process of meditative techniques laid out by the Buddha, this suffering can be overcome and a blissful state of pure joy and enlightenment can be achieved.Now, a Bodhisattva is a figurehead who has taken the responsibility and done the work to follow this process to enlightenment but then decided to walk back on it, towards suffering, so they can help other people still stuck in the cycle.The first of the hypothetical paths is the path of wisdom?- ?its the path that anyone who is seeking to understand their life and the problems in it is following, and its a path that can only ever truly be pursued alone the path of the enlightened ones. The second of the hypothetical paths is the path of compassion?- ?its the path that anyone who is seeking meaning in their life is following, and i ts a path that is forced to embrace suffering and dissatisfaction due to the complexities that arise when other people are in the picture the path of the Bodhisattvas.In the day to day lives of most people, these paths intersect and interact, and they challenge and contradict each other. Sometimes, we find ourselves looking inwardly, at our wants and needs, cravings and aversions, trying to satisfy or resist them, working on ourselves at the expense of the outside world so we can move a little farther along. Other times, we feel a responsibility towards others. Their problems become our problems, their joys our joys, and often, we work on them at the expense of ourselves because without these people all the inward work would feel hollow.If this is still a little abstract, lets make it more concreteLife is ultimately a single-player game, but the only thing that truly makes it worth living has something to do with our relationships to other people, and this paradox sits at the core w hat it means to be a human being.No matter how direct or indirect, any of the deeper problems we face emerge from conflicts that arise due to our sense of self. Beyond bare necessities like food and shelter, when we want something, the need is less because thats what the laws of physics dictate and more because our deeply conditioned self either craves a thing or is averse to it. Now, by deconstructing this self and reconstructing its habit patterns, we can hack away at the problems that come up. This happens naturally through experience and awareness, and its also the goal of most meditative practices. In this sense, life is problem-solving?- ?and its full of problems nobody else can solve for us because they are internal problems that require a change in perception. Others can help, guide, and encourage us, but at its core, the game is still only ours to play.At the same time, the more we deconstruct this self, the further away we move from other people other selves. This is becau se the self is a social construct?- ?its born at the intersection of our relationships to our cultures, our tribes, our families, and other spatial and temporal affiliations that constrain and condition us at each and every moment of our lives. And the more internal problems we solve, the further away from this conditioning we get, and the further away from other people we get, and the more alone we feel on the path ahead of us. It would seem that other people are both the cause of our problems, and paradoxically, the final, redeeming solution.There is a scene in Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace in which a group of characters that attend a Tennis academy for gifted children is commiserating after a long, arduous training session. They have been pushed and pushed and pushed, practically to the point of needless suffering, so they can improve their skills and uphold the reputation of the academy.At one point during their collective commiserating, they begin to wonder why they are always allotted this time to sit together after they have been pushed so hard. Surely the organizers know that they have made them suffer, and they also know that there isnt much these kids can do about it besides sit and complain together. Why, then, do they always get this brief time-window in an otherwise brutally efficient schedule, made only to turn the kids into machines, so they can just sit around and moan to each other?The answer, they eventually realize, is to build a sense of community?- ?a shared purpose. They may all be going through hell, and they may all be doing so individually, without any one of them being able to lessen the others burden, but at the same time, deep in this lonesomeness, they have a shared experience they can come back to, and this experience adds a deeper layer of meaning where there otherwise isnt one, and that?- ?maybe, perhaps?- ?makes it all a little less lonesome even if they are still fundamentally alone.Problem-solving is individual meanin g is collective. With problems, there is suffering. Without them, there is no meaning. The self, then, is both the ultimate problem and also the ultimate solution, and this dance that we find ourselves in the midst of hits its edge right at the point where we, individually, solve our problems and then share the answers the best we can with others who are going through same motions in different ways.One of the key things to note about the Bodhisattva archetype is that its not about blind giving or blind compassion. They arent just figures who are mindlessly dedicated to other people and their suffering without understanding what it is, where it comes from, and what exactly they are working to help. No, their first and foremost concern is to pursue the path?- ?as the Buddha did?- ?to gain wisdom for themselves and only then do they go back to relate to others. They may make sacrifices, and they may put outside interests before their own, but they only ever do that if they are ready to do that?- ?if they have done the work required to earn the right to give.In the same way, the target of our individual responsibility still lies within each of us?- ?we still have to play the game for ourselves, and we have to learn to get good at it. That said, once we have beaten parts of this game, rather than forcing our way forward right away?- ?even if problems persist?- ?its worthwhile to stop a while, to take a breath, a moment, to share those experiences with others. Its fine and well to accept that life is a single-player game, to keep moving to higher levels, but if we dont make compromises in-between to focus beyond that, we neglect meaning.In most relationships between people, especially romantic ones, if the individuals share a lot their time and space with each other, they begin to merge their selves, and thats another extreme. Rather than placing their own path as the top priority, they rely on another to fill a void that they have left open. This removes a lot of t he aloneness that is inherent in any individual journey, and it can and does create meaning, but it neglects the fact that there are an increasing number of problems still unaddressed, which sooner or later overpower and destroy whatever meaning is shared.The balance, then, must lie somewhere in-between to pursue what you must pursue for yourself first and foremost, accepting that it is only you who can do that, and then, as you progress, share bits and pieces of this with others so you can combine one whole and another whole into something greater, something a little more complete, realizing and acknowledging that it will still always remain somewhat incomplete.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of men tally strong people

Or maybe you prefer detail, while your colleague is one of those big-picture id ea types all sizzle and no steak.

According to science being single has major benefitsAccording to science being single has major benefitsThe stigma attached to being alone seems to be easing up a bit. Being single doesnt mean what it used to.A shift insocial and economic standards has effectively mugged courtship of its exigence. Without the prod of outmoded traditions and the fear of instability, people are suddenly free to decide to shack up if and only if they meet someone they genuinely want to spend their time with for the rest of their life or the next hour.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraThe psychology of lonelinessThe 2017 U.S censuses bureau reports that 45.2% of Americans over the age of 18 are living single. 63% of that percentage has never been married, 23% are divorced, and 13% are widows.As previously reported, Millennials are both getting married later and staying together longer. The daylight be tween these two statistics seems to out curiosity as an enemy of longevity. Extended periods of time spent alone allow us to sufficiently explore every aspect of our character. Getting to know yourself takes practice and its hard enough already without the racket of commitment perplexing our interests. The better we know ourselves, the better we are at determining our emotional needs. Warm bodies can be nice, but any will do knee jerk reaction to loneliness rarely yields lasting comforts.Randi Gunther Ph.D.talks about the way rushing into relationships comes at the price of our personal integrity and value. Entering a new relationship with clarity and self-confidence, you will automatically be able to discern early-on whether a fhigkeit partner is worth your investment, says GuntherThat isnt to say being single should be exclusively viewed as the preparation period before you inevitably settle down forever. The merits of singlismstand all their own independent of how they will infor m your ability to maintain a long-term relationship.Sociologist, Elyakim Kislev recently sat down with VICE to promote hisnew book,Happy Singlehood The Rising Acceptance and Celebration of Solo Living. Kislev believes being single is still a brand that earns some disdain from many people, despite its growing popularity. We used to think of people who had responsibilities as people we could trust. If youre responsible for your spouse and children, you probably wont be a threat to society. So we need something tangible to know youre responsible. says Kislev. Our thinking didnt change at the same pace as reality we still think that we cannot trust singles.Kislev is right in citing the way we still use old fashioned metrics to asses character. Marriage is a pretty unreliable shorthand for moral stability. Taking a quick survey of my married friends and single friends in my mind does not create an obvious demarcation of ethics. Additionally being meanly thought of is the siren call of co mpromising. The derogatory terms meant to explain long periods of time being single is blinding us to the freshest of benefits afforded by solitude.A study conducted by Debt.com reports that single people are 21% less likely to be in credit card debt. TheJournal of Marriage and Familysampled 1,300 individuals and found that single participants were much more likely to stay active and go to the gym than their married counterparts. A survey conducted by Amerisleepof 2,000 Americans found single people get about 7.13 more hours of sleep a night than married people.That idea that if youre single, youre likely unattractive or socially inept is a regressive one.

4 Signs Youre Too Hard on Yourself at Work - The Muse

4 Signs Youre Too Hard on Yourself at Work - The Muse 4 Signs Youre Too Hard on Yourself at Work Stop being so hard on yourself. Sigh. That’s a sentiment that’s echoed around in my brain for as long as I can remember. From when I thought I totally blew my audition to play Mother Goose in my fifth grade play to when I was convinced that I bombed my first job interview, people have always been reminding me to take a deep breath and show myself a little grace. I’ll admit it: That doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m driven, restless, and a quintessential perfectionist. In moderation, those can be positive qualities. But, when taken to the extreme? Well, they often lead to me beating myself up for even the smallest of errors. After years of doing that very thing, I’ve learned to recognize those moments when I’m being just a little too unforgiving with myself. What are the signs and symptoms I look for? Here are four of the most common ones- so that you can avoid falling into the very same traps as me. 1. You Argue With Compliments Think about the last time someone offered you a genuine compliment. What did you say in response? Did you instantly start explaining all of the reasons you actually didn’t deserve that praise? I get it. Accepting compliments can be awkward. You don’t want to seem arrogant or overly braggy, so instead you start drawing attention to your own faults and shortcomings to inject a little more humility into that conversation. But, here’s the thing: When you know you worked hard on something and are pleased with the overall result, you’ve more than earned the attention and appreciation of others. So, go ahead and accept that compliment at face value and reply with a simple, “Thank you.” 2. You Constantly Say “But…” Similarly, the word “but” whistles an irresistible siren song for those of us who are constantly striving for more. You landed that job you wanted… but there weren’t that many applicants. You put together an awesome presentation… but it would’ve been even better if you had a little more time. Sound familiar? I know that I’m completely guilty of making excuses like these for why my own accomplishments aren’t actually that great. But, why invest the time and energy to shoot down your own achievements? Skip the “but” and instead focus on the first half of those sentences- they’re way more rewarding (and honest!). 3. You Always Rely on the Insights of Others There’s nothing wrong with leaning on the support and guidance of the people you work with. It can be helpful in many cases. But, if you’re constantly doing it- even for tasks and assignments in which you’re the actual expert? Well, that’s a sign that you don’t trust yourself as much as you should. Constantly needing the affirmation and approval of others will only slow you down and further undermine your confidence. I’m willing to bet you aren’t giving yourself nearly enough credit, so have a little more faith that you know the best way forward. 4. You Accept Blame for Everything As easy as it is to be hard on yourself when things go right, that temptation becomes even stronger when things run off the rails. You begin blaming yourself for everything- even circumstances that were obviously well beyond your control. The dreary weather or the fact that a client was late to an important meeting are all burdens that you carry on your own shoulders (despite the fact that you had no power to change them). Your attempts to be accountable are admirable. But, say it with me now: Not everything is your fault. Stop punishing yourself. It doesn’t do you any good- particularly when you couldn’t have improved the situation anyway. I’ll admit that I might not be the most qualified person to give you advice on how to be a little more forgiving with yourself- that’s something I’m still actively working on myself. But, being able to recognize those times when I’m being a little too brutal has been a helpful first step in changing that behavior. Look for these signs in your own life (I’m sure you’re guilty of at least a couple!). When you catch yourself red-handed? Take a deep breath and promise to have some patience and understanding with yourself. Take it from me- you deserve it.
