A sense of fun at work has all but dissipated, and many employers are failing to capitalise on moments that matter, according to an employee experience expert.
Employers have made a few leaps and bounds in performance management over the past two years, but some surprising areas are still lagging, research shows.
An employer has defended the way it managed a "high achiever", who suffered a psychological injury after behaviour issues were raised during a routine personal development meeting.
A "hostile and combative" employee who described her refusal to comply with instructions as "a mere expression of opinion" was fairly dismissed, the Fair Work Commission has found.
There are four main reasons why employees procrastinate, and the habit is becoming particularly prevalent in overwhelmed workforces, a performance and mindfulness specialist says.
A national employer has undertaken the "monumental" task of moving from annual to quarterly performance reviews, to stay on top of its attrition risks.
Clearly aligning goals with values boosts performance, lifts culture, and drives a healthy relationship between leaders and employees, an executive coach says.
Four leading companies have established "golden rituals" that not only streamline team-based projects, but improve their workplace cultures, a collaboration specialist says.
