Does it get on your last nerve when you're in the "zone" at work and then someone interrupts you? If so, you're not alone. But interruptions aren't always a bad thing, finds a new study by the University of Missouri. If an interruption is related to work -- the boss wants to talk about a new project or a colleague has a question about a process -- then that interruption can further increase your engagement in work.

Let’s be honest: The workplace is full of difficult people! You aren’t going to “love” everyone you work with or for, but you still have to find a way to create productive working relationships with them. Otherwise, work can quickly turn into a stressful—even traumatic—situation, which can ultimately damage your performance, reputation, and long-term career opportunities.

Employee recognition plays a vital role in helping businesses deliver a near-perfect employee experience. And with the rise in hybrid work, companies are redoubling their efforts to develop a robust reward and recognition program. They realize that they need to move beyond typical measures such as long service awards. They need digital tools that enable recognition in the flow of work.

Impactful authentic leadership requires careful judgment and context. Authentic leadership matters even more during times of stress, uncertainty, and change. Of course, you want your team to be real with you. You can’t help them if you don’t know what’s really going on. And if you’re not real with them, they won’t be real with you.

Human Nature. As part of our nature, humans are born into the world with two innate qualities that promote survival and growth. All humans are wired to find and follow patterns. We are innate conformists. This bias towards conformity has many advantages. It promotes cooperation, establishes norms, enables learning, and saves energy. To underscore the latter, when we follow an established pattern, we don’t need to think, problem-solve, or exert effort to learn something new.

Have you ever wondered how talent management and employee experience are connected? Imagine an HR team that is knee-deep in the administrative tasks. They use obsolete tools and methods to attract talent, manage job applications, and hire candidates. The HR team types in and arranges all the paperwork manually and can't send the employment document beforehand, making the new hires do all their paperwork on their first day at work.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
