Effortless HR
OCTOBER 20, 2014
'In today’s competitive business environment, success depends on many factors, but most executives would agree that staffing is the most crucial piece to the puzzle. That’s why a smart recruitment strategy is essential to any organization.

'Last Spring, when I was leaving SHRM, I travelled through the Orlando airport. Maybe you did too? If you did, you may have seen, somewhere between check-in and your gate, a sign posted on a small kiosk (created by a brilliant little Finnish company called HappyOrNot ), that said “ How was your airport experience, today? ”.

'Sometimes when I write, it’s because I’m frustrated with things that happen. Today is one of those days. I seem to get bombarded with requests from strangers who do two things: They are asking me to do work for them for free (write, speak, etc.). They use the wrong name when they contact me. I’m all in favor of using someone’s name when you reach out to them, especially if you don’t know the person and you’re trying to make the email or message more persona

This month at Kazoo, motivation’s been the focus. In order to have a productive work environment, employees must be compelled to complete their tasks and projects. It is the managers job to make sure their employees are performing at a high level. The good news: motivation is a skill which can be taught and learned. To do that, managers must truly understand the human nature behind motivation and know how to practice it.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

'I f you’re like me, there are days or weeks when you feel overwhelmed. It is actually normal to have moments like this but when it starts to keep you up at night, affects your eating habits or keeps you from being productive in your day-to-day, it’s time to take action. The problem is that for most people, we just hate telling someone “no” or admitting that we have too much on our plates.
