Strategic focus is a business buzzword these days. Just Google the term. You will find that many top business publications have recent articles on the topic. I don’t think that is a new revelation, however. In business—indeed, in life—there is only so much time and energy available. There always are things that must be done—ordinary, important tasks that consume a significant quantum of available time and energy.

There are many benefits to working with a staffing service, one primarily is not having to source candidates yourself.

It’s certainly fair to say that employee retention has always been among the more worrying concerns of HR professionals. Keeping good, trained, onboarded talent instead of constantly recruiting and ramping up new workers is an easily supported strategy, as it makes so much financial and business sense. Reducing turnover may now be an even more intense focus than in years past , however, as it becomes more and more an “employee’s market.

Several states and cities have adopted legislation that does the same thing. If a job is worth $75,000, and the person can do the job, that person should earn $75,000 regardless of whether the person earned $50,000 before–male or female.
