I love reading trend predictions, but also enjoy the thoughtful look-back. Makes me wish I’d saved some of those workforce articles from the 9o’s. Lotus Notes. Personal Digital Assistants. Beavis and Butthead. Causal Fridays. While I don’t miss the drama over what “casual” Fridays vs. jeans Fridays meant, there is a nostalgia that gets me this time of year. Perhaps …
Unfortunately, many of us will eventually have to work with someone we don’t get along with. Most of us will believe this other person is incompetent (or rude or dishonest or unqualified or whatever it is that we have a problem with), so we’ll spend the better part of the relationship simply wishing the other person would simply move along. …
Last round, I shared the Tale of Kitty Clark. Click over to the original post if you didn’t catch it. Kitty was a scrappy, feared, grungy, tough-gal that ran the halls of the 1973 middle school she attended with my mother in upstate New York. My theory is the extreme cold climate made it way to her insides where it …
$3 billion to $35.4 billion. Keep that number in the back of your mind. We’ll get there in a minute. For now, I want you to use your mind’s eye to imagine the following: Long straggly, dirty blond hair, gum chewing, ripped bell bottom jeans, flannel shirts, usually bare footed, trash-talking 8th grader. Even the teachers feared her. She never …
Ok, picture this. You’ve just spent the last three months trying desperately to hire someone to fill an especially difficult position. You’ve interviewed more candidates than you care to admit, had to spend more recruiting dollars than you had the budget for, and you’ve been getting an earful from the hiring manager on how this vacancy is killing their team. …
As HR pro’s it’s just part of the job that we come across shockingly not-smart employees once in a while – the ones who do something so stupid that you can’t help but stare at them with your mouth wide open and wonder if they thought at all before they acted. Well folks, it’s summer, which means that we’re in …
I tend to use swear words. Not all the time – I’m not like some sailor walking around the office dropping ‘F-Bombs’ all the time, but in select instances I will use a word that I don’t allow my kids to use. I’ve heard people say that those who use swear words are ignorant because they can’t come up with …
It’s hard to miss the fact that we have a bullying problem in our schools. It angers me to hear of another child who commits suicide because s/he was being stalked, bullied, beat up, and belittled by peers. I hate to think of tragic events that hit so close to home in my life that might have been prevented if …
Seriously – Do job postings and other marketing elements even matter to the response you get to your open jobs? I suspect the world falls into three camps: –They absolutely matter. Doing a better job marketing open jobs should be a priority. –They don’t matter. People try and get too cute and all people want is for you to hit …
Oh, I got me some Olympic Fever! The Summer Olympics are the best – it’s like NCAA Tournament time but with sports we only care about once every four years! This Summer Olympics I’m even more invested than usual because we have a local athlete from our hometown of DeWitt, MI, Gymnast Jordyn Weiber, competing, so I expect I’ll be …
