Article by Tyler Hicks Amber Slone was on a mission. It was early May, a couple of months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and she and her coworkers had been working from home for 10 weeks. They were bored. She was bored. The last thing anyone wanted was another Zoom call. Nevertheless, Slone wanted to engage her colleagues, so the 33-year-old found herself driving around Dallas, darting from one coworker's home to the next with dozens of soda bottles and ice ...
Before March 2020, no one had even heard of "social distancing." Fast forward seven months, and it's all anyone can talk about. According to Statista, Google searches for "social distancing" increased 100-fold by mid-March, and I imagine searches will spike again now that many locales are reinstating COVID-19 restrictions due to significant rises in cases. Over the summer, there was a slight reprieve for many countries as cases dropped ...
In every segment of the economy, from schools and nonprofit organizations to professional services and tech companies, the understanding of where people can and should work has shifted dramatically. Unless Elon Musk invents a time machine, workers will never go back to the office at the same levels as before COVID-19. Before the pandemic, only 5 percent of the American workforce worked from home full-time; during the pandemic, that number jumped to 26 percent, with many other employees reporting they worked "mostly" from ...
As a leader, you're a visionary. You may use terms like "cat-herder," "jack-of-all-trades," and "superstar" to describe yourself. However, just because you can accomplish practically any and every function necessary for the continued operation of your emerging enterprise, that doesn't mean you should. Ideally, leaders should spend the bulk of their time and energy doing that which only they can do: encouraging and supporting the growth of their business. All too often, however, the brunt of everyday administrative responsibilities like ...
Mission and value alignment are essential for successfully recruiting and retaining talent. When employees feel connected to your mission and your values, they feel inspired to contribute their best efforts. Conversely, without mission and value alignment, employee engagement wanes, negatively impacting overall team performance and morale. Your employees can only be aligned with your mission and values if they have a defined purpose that provides meaning to their work. A company's mission statement should offer a clear and concise definition of ...
Hiring during a recession can certainly be challenging. While companies may find there is no shortage of candidates, the real difficulty comes in trying to find the right candidate amid all the options. Recruiters need to strike a balance between attracting a large number of quality candidates and discouraging those with a lower likelihood of fit from applying. Without such a strategy, many recruiters will find themselves overwhelmed with candidates in the coming months. It is important to leverage technology to ...
It's uncontroversial — perhaps downright banal — to say that COVID-19 has transformed the world of recruiting. But while we all agree that things have changed, many of us would be hard-pressed to put our fingers on the specific transformations that have taken place. For a lot of us, we know that radical shifts have occurred — but the reality of those shifts, and the ways in which they'll alter recruiting for years ...
Finding ideal candidates is always difficult for recruiters, especially when the sheer volume of candidates in the job market makes it tough to filter the quality candidates from the rest. Remote work has made it harder to justify the time, effort, and resources that go into hiring great candidates. Employee referrals are the most reliable, available, and underutilized source of candidates for recruiters. HR teams can leverage their connections with current employees and get them to suggest worthy candidates. ...
