TalentCircles

For organizations with seasonal fluctuations in business, hiring temporary workers is often a necessity. Regardless of when they need additional help -- whether it’s over the holidays or during temperature-dictated cycles (think beaches and amusement parks in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in winter) – everyone needs employees they can rely on. Temporary employee” should never be synonymous with “low-caliber employee.”

Change Management is Not a Choice

ClearCompany HRM

The statistic is nearly ten years old, yet so believable and supported by far newer surveys. That’s right, even in a world where we can accept our operating systems are outdated in less than a year, we somehow cannot seem to update our business or organizational processes successfully or unscathed. Chalk it up to human nature’s hatred of change or downright obliviousness, but don’t kid yourself: we needed to master change management and we needed to yesterday.

Grovo HR

One out of every three employees would give up $5,000 in salary to be happier at work. And in the present era of job-hopping millennials and employee retention challenges, people do better work for longer when they’re happy. But somewhere along the line, companies systematized the idea of happiness too much.

Last month, I submitted a request for a single week’s vacation with approximately two months of lead time (submitted in April for June vacation), and was told that they were not willing to take someone off another task for that long and that I could take two days off. We are a very small company, and I understand that this would possibly be hard, but I am still unhappy about the decision.

Developing An Intentional Learning Culture

HR Bartender

One of the words I’m starting to hear at conferences and in business conversations is “intentional.” It means, of course, to do something on purpose or to be deliberate. Professionals are talking about having intentional discussions within the business or to implement something intentionally. While on one hand you might question, “Shouldn’t everything be done intentionally?”, I think the addition of the word intentional is to add emphasis.
