I’m a self-professed math geek. Which is why I’m very excited to share with you today’s interview. But before we start, I want to share how I learned about Dr. Jac Fitz-enz. I’ve told this story before but I’m going to tell it again. In my very first human resources manager role, I attended a weekly department head meeting. My boss would have all of us go around the table, talk about the projects we were working on, and discuss any resources (i.e. budget and staff) we needed to achieve our goals

Employee experience is often tied to your current team members. It’s important to make sure they’re happy, feeling engaged, and are connected with both the team and company goals. But focusing on the employee experience only when someone is officially an employee is hurting your chances of hiring the best candidates. To dive deeper into the idea of bringing the employee experience into your interview processes, we spoke with Stuart Coleman and Mandy Yoh.

Managers put doing performance reviews right behind firing someone as their top two most disliked activities. How bizarre is that? Giving constructive feedback, mentoring, training, and improving the performance of their staff should be their number one motivation. Staff members hate them, too. They dislike the fact that managers delay and avoid doing them, and feel they are paternalistic, controlling, and at odds with taking personal initiative and designing your future in a company.

Building a strong onboarding process is the best way to welcome, and retain, new employees. Effective onboarding is all about planning ahead and thinking from your new employee’s point of view. It doesn’t begin and end on your new hire’s first day with you. It starts at the beginning of your hiring process and ends when your new employee is fully settled into their role.

Now, you are a 50 employee business, but in just 1 year you’ll be 100-150 employees and then 200-300 employees within the next 2 years.

You might think that you are in charge of everything, yet the truth is your judgments and decisions are often influenced by a wide variety of biases.

I should probably add “hiring manager” to the title of this post. The individuals responsible for finding and hiring the organization’s talent need skills. It’s not fair to simply say, “Hey! Go hire some high performers and rock stars. Oh, and do it quickly. And, cheaply.” I’m not writing this post to say that a recruiter or hiring manager needs to have these skills before they can get involved in the recruiting process.
