Check out our suggestions for an effective onboarding process that will make for a successful future! […]

Are Virtual Meetings Ineffective?

2022-06-10T12:31:44-04:00Categories: Behind the Scenes, Job Efficiency|Tags: , , , , , , , |0 Comments

Aside from team meetings, studies have shown that employees now spend over 300% more time in one-on-one meetings, as well.

It’s easy to think that extra 5-10 minutes will actually make a difference in the ease of getting out of [...]

You may be a diligent note-taker because writing it down helps it to stick into your brain so you can repeat it later. You may be visual and need to watch someone perform the task at which point you can likely repeat it down to every detail. So, which of these are you? Or in what combination?
