Getting serious about sexual harassment.
No matter how great your employees are, odds are that someone in your organization will make an allegation of sexual harassment at some point. Are you prepared to conduct a fair and thorough investigation?
SHRM’s Dori Meinert has put together the information you should know in How to Investigate Sexual Harassment Allegations. She recommends reviewing your policies and creating your action plan well before you need it.
What motivates employees to work harder?
In This Study of 400,000 People Reveals the 1 Reason Employees Work Harder (and It’s Not Pay or Benefits or Culture Decks), Inc. contributor Jeff Haden shares the results of a recent study on employee motivation.

What should B2B businesses expect to see in their future?
A January article at McKinsey.com reveals some answers. In What the future science of B2B sales growth looks like, several McKinsey and Company contributors join forces to make their predictions. The group advises companies to employ analytics to guide their sales activities. Rapid shifts in buyer behaviors and expectations are on the horizon, too.
But wait, exactly what is the “science of B2B sales,” anyway? According to the article, B2B sales becomes a science (rather than an art) when it is driven by data, digital tools, and analytics.
