Estimated reading time: 4 minutesI recently attended an artificial intelligence conference hosted by the University of Florida. I decided to attend this event because I wanted to learn more about artificial intelligence (AI) and I wanted to hear what people outside of the human resources profession were saying. While I love a good HR conference, sometimes it’s good to hear what people outside the profession are saying (and not just about AI). If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it.

Estimated reading time: 4 minutesI recently published an article on how groups make decisions. One of the ways is by building consensus.

The goal of consensus building is to get everyone to live with the decision.

Estimated reading time: 8 minutesA couple months ago, I published an article about what to expect in employee benefits with the new year and new administration. Organizations might want to use this time to evaluate their current total rewards strategy and possibly make some changes. And when I say “make changes”, I’m not talking about slashing employee benefits. A benefits package can represent 30-40% of an employee’s total rewards package.
