by Wendy BerryOn February 20, 2019 0 comments

 

Hello, hello, baby. You called, I can’t hear a thing.
I have got no service in the club, you see, see
Wha-Wha-What did you say?
Oh, you’re breaking up on me
Sorry, I cannot hear you, I’m kinda busy.

– Lady Gaga

 

My first gig in HR was as a recruiter/staffing consultant/placement specialist (or whatever title they wanted us to use at any given day) for a smaller temporary staffing agency. There was no training. I don’t think I even shadowed anyone prior to jumping on the phone and doing...

While “follow instructions” is one of the first lessons we learn way back in kindergarten, not taking a step back and assessing if the approach needs to be tweaked partway through will squander potential gains you could realize if you and the program were to course-correct. Your loyalty should lie foremost with the attendees—the people you want to develop...

#Nextchat: Employee Value Proposition and Employer Branding Go Hand in Hand

by Mary KaylorOn February 18, 2019 0 comments

 

 

If you’re having problems attracting and keeping the right talent at your organization, one of the first things you’ll want to review is your employee value proposition (EVP).

What’s an employee value proposition?

It’s a declaration that describes how an organization wants to be perceived in the eyes—and hearts—of its employees. It’s why employees want to work for your company. It represents the company's values and principles and helps set the stage for developing an employer brand. The EVP and employer brand—if thoughtfully constructed—will work together to enhance talent acquisition...

Want to Succeed With Continuous Performance Management? Focus on the Value to Employees

On February 18, 2019 0 comments

 Diane Strohfus

 

Every HR pro knows that the way we work is changing radically. Hierarchical, heavily structured organizations are being almost fully replaced with more flexible, adaptable and agile models based on cross-functional teams whose work is powered by conversations that take place up, down and across the organization.

Expressing the Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace

by Osasumwen Arigbe On February 15, 2019 0 comments

 

 

In recognition of Valentine’s Day, a group of employees engaged in an exercise around love languages. The task was for them to identify and discuss their love languages among themselves. The goal was for each person to have a better understanding of how they like to show or receive love in the workplace. Love in this context is not referring to romantic relationships at work. Instead, it is referring to ways employees can support one another. The exercise was based on the Five Love Languages—Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation,...
