The Bridge的动态

I don’t care whether you come into the office at 8 am. I don’t care if you choose to work from home or not. I don’t care if you work from the garage while they fix your car. I hired you for a job and I trust you to get it done. Just let me know what you need from me to be successful in your role. And I will show up for you. Life happens! You don’t need to justify to me why you need a day off. You don’t need to explain how sick your child is to leave early. You don’t need to apologize for having a personal life. Yes, I care about results but I also care about you. We are all human and we are all adults. I lead people. I don’t run an adult day care center. My advice for anyone hiring: 1. Select the right people. 2. Agree on deliverables (be crystal clear). 3. Provide proper tools and support. 4. Get out of their way. Source: Brigette Hyacinth

Daily Tip: Parents, don't feel guilty for having a nanny and actually enjoying having the help. Everyone says it takes a village however, when you pay for a quality caregiver and household support person to be in your village, the judgement can be brutal. Here's the truth; your child benefits from having another adult in their life who loves them to pieces and gives them consistent, quality care. Your child benefits when you have someone to help you carry the load, lessen your stress, and be in your corner as a parent. Hiring a nanny isn't abandoning your duties as a parent, it's making a smart investment in your child's health and happiness.

Your instinct isn’t as good as you think it is. Plan hiring well to increase your odds of making a good hiring decision. #selection #hiring #OHPsych #IOPsych #iopsychmemes #psychology #psychologymemes #psychmemes #APpsych (rerun)

One of the biggest misses for reducing turnover is failing to address your selection process. Why? It takes more time to create a structured competency, culture and context based interview. But, remember “penny wise, pound foolish”. Managers, it is worth the extra time to create a structured interview base. In the long run, you’ll save time by finding the right person the first time.

When in doubt, remember: Structured interviews > Unstructured interviews. Why? Structured interviews ensure consistency, reduce bias, and evaluate all candidates against the same criteria. Research shows they are stronger predictors of job performance because they can be built to focus on job-relevant content. When consistency, fairness, and accuracy matter (as they should!), structured interviews are the way to go.

This is so true and remember when you are interviewing for a job, be sure to have your own set of questions to ask. Don’t be shy. Ask when the last time there was conflict in the department you are interviewing for and how it was handled? Ask how detailed their KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are or how often they have reviews? Do they do one-on-one meetings with new hires during the probationary period? These will all help you guage if this is an employer that invests in the employee or not.
