Keeping Yourself Current
Here’s some Wednesday Wisdom for candidates to consider – keep your
background information and job experience current in both hard copy and
on social media. Here are some things you can think about doing if you
don’t already:
?? Make sure your social media profile is kept current with your latest role.
Include responsibilities under each entry and add a paragraph to the
“about” section. Finally, make sure the job history here matches
what’s on your resume!
?? Keep you resume updated. You’ll need this if you’re about to enter the
job market, you’re a passive candidate, or if you’d like to move up
within your current organization.
?? PLEASE add a photo to your LI profile – not having one is a red flag
and you run the risk of being passed over. Having said that, make sure
it’s a GOOD, PROFESSIONAL, RECENT photo. Everyone has a cell
phone. Selfie time!
?? If your role requires a portfolio, take the time to add photos or
examples of your hard work as they occur so you’re ready to go when
submitting an application. Again, you’ll be ahead of the competition
and get your credentials presented to the hiring manager first.

3 R’s
We talk a lot about the job market, but this message for client partners is
regarding employee retention – a subject we don’t spend enough time on.
Employee engagement is better but low and average “good” tenure is 2
years. Not great stats, but there are things companies can do to improve
here. Ever hear of the 3 R’s? They are respect, recognition and reward.
Respect includes not only having respect for an employee’s contribution but
also providing a positive workplace culture. These values should be clearly
communicated, allowing employees to be their best selves. This is truly the
number one factor for retention.
Recognition. Top contributors work very hard and want to continually
improve. Nobody takes a job thinking they’ll fail. Regular recognition by
senior leadership can go a long way to turning around a bad week. Have a
reward program in place for meeting or exceeding goals.
Reward. Stay current with your compensation. Don’t fall behind or you’ll
never catch up, and employees will jump ship if offered the chance to better
take care of their families. Think about what would be important to you –
PTO, benefits, training, promotion.
Having programs in place go a long way in keeping your top talent growing
and enjoying their roles.
Employee Engagement
Employee engagement has been a topic for analysis and discussion for decades, but never more so than since the pandemic due to the introduction of an almost 100% off-site workforce.????? In a recent?Gallup?poll report on LinkedIn, it was found that fully remote employees feel more at risk this year and are “less connected to an organization’s purpose.” This is due to influencers such as looming mass layoffs and threats to return to the office.?But the headline is not the only thing to read here.?Let’s look past that when making decisions about designing or redesigning your workforce.?On-site employees still take the prize for lowest engagement and hybrid schedules are still the winner for most comfortable in their roles.?????
In some roles and industries, remote work simply isn’t an option – hospitality, for example. ?????? However, whether or not a role is on-site, remote or hybrid, we can’t ignore the fact that it’s the leadership that drives employee engagement.?Keeping a team connected requires consistent inclusion, management and communications, which can be accomplished regardless of the location of the employees’ workplace, in many industries.?????
