The Best Ways to Keep Employees Engaged and Excited About Work
NewsAttract ENGAGE Retain.
An engaged workforce is a productive workforce.
But you can’t force someone to be engaged.
Once you’ve got a candidate through the hiring, onboarding and training process, you really want to retain them. But what about two years in, five years in. What do you do as a company to re-engage and thereby retain your staff?
People are engaged when they feel they make a difference. People are engaged when they feel appreciated. People are engaged when they feel a sense of purpose. People are engaged when they feel aligned with the company’s values.
Setting SMART Goals for Stronger Leadership
NewsA SMART Goal is one that is, Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Based. A not so smart goal is one that is general, fantastical, pulled out of thin air, and going to happen sometime soon.
Being an effective leader depends on what kind of team you lead, what your personality is, and what your company’s goals and trajectory are. A good leader for a startup is not necessarily a good leader for an established bank or other slow and steady business. But all leaders need to set goals, SMART goals, and make sure they follow up on the results.

Ways the #MeToo Movement has changed HR since January 2020
NewsCalifornia is often the trailblazer in legislation. In the case of the #metoo movement, there are a series of laws that were passed in January 2020 to address sexual harassment, whistleblowing, and a lack of women in leadership roles.
While there is always room for improvement, we think the following legislation is worth revisiting. As an employer it is your responsibility to not only do the cursory harassment prevention training but to create a company culture that supports honesty and respect and rewards whistleblowing for those who see culture parasites destroying the goodwill you spend months and years building up.
The MOST important part of hiring is Role Alignment.
NewsThey say in the movies, write what you know. So I’ll share an experience we’ve had. An applicant sends a great cover letter. The interview on the phone is fun and it turns out we both speak French and we both cried when Guns and Roses came back to the concert. She’s a “Perfect Fit For The Company” I think in her 2nd (and final) interview. I don’t need to call references and I’ll overlook the fact that she was at her last job for 4 months and the one before for 3 months. She’s smart and funny and I love her and it’s going to be great.

It’s a challenging time for everyone, but the most important thing for companies to do right now is to take care of their employees. The first step is to take care of an employee’s health and safety, followed closely by taking care of their emotional well-being.
