Name: Brian O'Connell SHRM.org
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-b85o@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: SHRM.org
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 September
Query:
A new study shows that 33% of U.S. employees don't what's
expected from them at work, leading to less engaged and less
productive workers.
It's up to managers to set the stage for a worker's production
and perfomance - but that isn't easy. In this story for SMRH/HR
Magazine, we're providing tips to show how managers can clear a
path to performance and set solid expectations from team members.
We'd like to answer these queries in the story:
1. How important is it in the managerial hierarchy to set
expectations from company team members? What are the benefits
and what are the drawbacks of not doing so?
2. How can managers create and manage a system where employee
expectations are set and where staffers follow the script?
3. What are the best tips for managers in setting employee
expectations and why do they work so well?
4. What are the biggest mistakes managers make when trying to
set up reliable and quantifiable systems of performance
expectations?
5. Any personal stories from managers who have successfully set
up team member expectations? What were your big lessons learned?
And what would you do over again?
All comments welcome. Thank you.
Requirements:
Office managers, management execs, business owners, workplace
managers, management experts, HR experts, leadership experts,
managers who have set up employee expectation campaigns.

Name: Brian O'Connell SHRM.org
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-b85z@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: SHRM.org
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 7 September
Query:
A recent study shows that 42% of staffers have "quit their job"
over a horrible boss.
That scenario leads not only to a loss of talent, but also
higher recruiting and training costs, and potential dissent from
those employees left behind. To nip that issue in the bud,
managers should self-evaluate and see if they carry any of the
following signs of a "horrible boss."
This story is fairly straightforward. We're trying to identify
the major red flags that signal a manager is failing to persuade
and lead his or her team - and how to fix the problem before
talent leaves the company - or the manager leaves.
We'd like to answer these questions:
1. How big a problem is a failing boss in the workplace? What is
the fallout - examples, please.
2. What are the major signs of a horrible boss from the
employee's POV? What sticks out the most - and what sticks in
the craw of frustrated workers?
3. What's the difference between a disgruntled worker taking
his/her job frustration out on a manager and a legit worker with
a legit complaint on a manager's weak points? In other words,
how can company decision makers truly understand they have a
horrible boss problem when employees bring it up?
4. What are the necessary steps a manager can take when
confronted with the real evidence that he or she is failing the
team and alienating workers? What are the best steps going
forward?
5. iI it possible for a bad boss to reclaim the respect of team
members and the C-Suite, or is a horrible boss scenario enough
to have the manager leave the company and instill new management?
6. We love personal stories of working with or being a horrible
boss, if you're up to it. Personal stories tend to stick in
these pieces.
All comments appreciated. Thank you.
Requirements:
managers and bosses, workplace experts, HR experts,
management/leadership experts, business owners, people who have
worked for a horrible boss and lived to tell the tale.

I'm writing about the rioting and looting that have been taking
place and the assumption many have that insurance will cover the
losses. I'll be examining what degree of coverage businesses
typically have for looting and rioting, whether many small
businesses have such coverage, the degree of coverage, whether
any major carriers are paying out significant claims, how much
would actually be covered, what techniques carriers are
using/might use to minimize payouts, the amount of time it takes
a business to get compensation, what happens to rates, and
historically what has happened in such situations (areas that
have seen destructive rioting in the past and how long it took

commercial property owners who have been adversely affected by
