If you’ve been working for any length of time in any capacity or industry, you have likely faced stressful points that make you want to scream. But as you’ve been working for any length of time, you know that a “pillow” is the only one who can take those screams, in a calm and supportive way.
What we get from these experiences is a chance to step back and reflect on what’s happening and how much we really control what’s happening. No, I’m not speaking in riddles; but I am making a point.
Employee Referral Programs - The Good and the Bad
Business Management, Career advice, Job Search, Recruiting, Uncategorized No Comments »Employee referral programs can be an outstanding tool for bringing top talent into your organization.
Most of the best companies have put lucrative employee referral programs in place. Though these programs, employees are empowered to refer job candidates. And, in return, they can earn referral bonuses that can range from $1000 to up to $8000 if their referrals are hired and stay with the company.
Work Life Balance - What is it & How Do You Get It?
Business Management, Career advice No Comments »Work life balance has been a buzz word in the workplace for the last 5 years or so. What does it actually mean?
I personally believe that work life balance is different for everyone. For a parent with young children, it may mean having the flexibility to be around after school to pick the kids up or attend sports days and other events. For a high flying executive who works long hours, it may be having the flexibility to go to the gym at lunch time.
Although there has been a lot of talk about work life balance over recent years and despite a decade of social change, with an increase in flexible work practices such as part-time work and job-sharing, it seems we’re back to working long hours as a “badge of honour”.
Office cubicles can breed contempt rather than teamwork. Being respectful and considerate of co-workers can resolve many of the issues that result in conflict in the office.
Guidelines For Cubicle Etiquette:
Respect the boundaries of a cubicle. Imagine it having a door. When entering knock on the side wall and wait to be invited in. Don’t barge into the cubicle and interrupt the other person.
