I’ll be talking on DriveThruHR today, and I’d love for you to call in or listen online. The show is at noon central time and runs for a (fairly quick!) thirty minutes. If you miss the show, you can listen to the archive afterward.

I have had a busy week, and I honestly am not sure yet what I’ll be talking about when I get the famous “What is keeping you up at night?” question. Here are a handful of things I’ve been working on in the past few weeks:

1. Worked to determine how to compensate a team for delivering an amazingly complex project on time and on budget
2. Looking at potential performance issues and how to deal with them through the eyes of one of our new managers
3. Working with our events team on living out our “create an enjoyable work environment” value through fun, exciting events throughout the year (paper airplane contest, tailgating, and more!)
4. Completed the local wage/benefits surveys and had to hand deliver paper printouts of several spreadsheets; no electronic copies of the Excel file that you had to add data to could be submitted
5. Prepared for the quarterly all hands briefing
6. Set up our team trivia practice for an upcoming fundraiser (IMPACT Alabama)
7. Dealt with email flame wars that seemed to go on indefinitely
8. Developed flow charts to illustrate our processes with regard to recruiting, performance management, etc.

Those are just a few of the things that have kept me busy in the past week! Outside that maybe we can talk about events, HRevolution, and other fun stuff.
