Have You Thanked a Veteran Lately? Have You Hired a Veteran Lately?

ExactHire

It’s no secret that I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for the men and women – past, present, and future – that make up our Military. You will see that every opportunity I have to pay back our military, I will do it without complaint. It boils down to this one sentence, “They risk their lives so that I may be free.” There are very few instances where I would willingly go into harm’s way to save those I do not know.

Take the Drama Out of Compensation — Strategies for Honest Communication with Employees About Pay

Reviewsnap

'Negotiation strategies indicate that when both sides work together to share information, both parties come out better. When you hide information or believe the other party is hiding something, both sides come out with worse deals than if they had been honest.

'Conflict: "A state of disharmony between incompatible or antithetical persons, ideas, or interests; a clash" Sound familiar? It does to me. In fact, any HR pro worth their salt has in some part built their career on this most powerful yet often misused human trait.

QAspire

In an organization, work flows horizontally but organizations are structured vertically in hierarchies.
