How to Navigate Maternity Leave

2022-09-09T09:48:47-04:00How To|

Congratulations on your soon-to-be bundle of joy! Expecting a baby can understandably be overwhelming as there are numerous changes in your very near future that will require in-depth consideration. From your work life to this new life that you are entirely responsible for all while dodging the unsolicited advice from Karen one, two, and three. Will you stay at home? Will you return to work? Undecided? You don’t have to have the answers right out of the gate, but the sooner you have a plan the better. With a baby boom on the horizon, we found it necessary to offer [...]

Legit Leadership

2022-09-15T08:49:54-04:00Behind the Scenes, Motivation|

Leadership is defined as ‘the action of leading a group of people or organization’. This can be interpreted in several ways, though we believe the true meaning of leadership goes far beyond the surface. In November 2021, a recorded 4.5 million U.S. workers quit their jobs and poor leadership is believed to be a contributing factor. In a time of perpetual change, people are clinging to those willing to pave the way to a brighter, more steadfast future. In this blog, we will dissect 6 key components of leadership that we believe to be amongst [...]

67 Is the New 62

2022-09-07T08:31:33-04:00General News, I Am I Can|

Picture this, you’re 60 years young, going through the motions at your 9-5, and some recent graduate walks in with a starting salary $5k below what you have worked 20+ years to receive. You’re unfulfilled with your work as you likely have it down to a science, and you have yet to feel challenged in quite some time. Now, if you were in your 30s, it would be evident that a career change would be the right move for you, but you only have a couple more years to stick it out until retirement, right? Wrong. Though you may have [...]

3 Things to Consider When Raising Pay

2022-06-10T12:08:55-04:00Behind the Scenes, How To|

As previously stated, employers are at the front of the line when it comes to The Great Resignation. Taking blows left and right with increasing demands from employees where immediate action is needed or they too, may start losing their valued employees. Or maybe you have already lost valued employees and are now trying to replace them with little to no luck. One of the more prevalent demands from employees is an increase in pay. If you feel that this is in your wheelhouse, there are a few things to consider when raising pay that we are here to shine [...]

Don’t Be Fooled by Your Passion

2022-06-10T12:01:18-04:00Behind the Scenes|

“Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life.” If you haven’t heard this phrase, you live under a rock. Believe it or not, in this blog we will debunk this phrase as it is not always the case. The problem really comes in in the second half of the phrase that states that you will, “never work a day in your life,” if you find your true passion. We are here to tell you that it doesn’t matter how much you love what you do, you will have hard days just like everyone else, [...]

Is Team Building a Thing of the Past?

2022-05-20T10:27:31-04:00Uncategorized|

Has team building become a thing of the past? I can vividly recall as little as 10 years ago, in each of the jobs I worked, having a team bonding day. A day where the employees got together outside the office, had some food and talked about anything other than work. One day out of the year to show appreciation for not just the employees, but those who steered the ship as well. Now, you’re lucky if you get a holiday luncheon. Something that we may have all grunted about having to attend is now a thing of the past [...]

How Are You Maintaining Company Culture?

2022-05-20T09:22:42-04:00Behind the Scenes, How To, How to Survive the '9-5'|

It’s probably safe to say that if your company is still working fully remote that those occasional threats of going back in the office will likely not come to fruition. I say ‘threats’ because, for some, it may have taken you this long to get into a routine that allowed you to maintain separation between work life and home life and having to uproot that would certainly cause stress. Now add in the fact that, like many other companies, you may have open positions that you are struggling to fill with qualified candidates. The big question here is how are [...]

Have You Checked Your Interview Process Lately?

2022-05-18T15:48:49-04:00Acing the Interview, General Job Search Advice, How To|

We’ve talked about the onboarding process and how important it is to be diligent in every step, but what about the interview? Think of your last 10 hires. How many of them are still currently employed with you? How many resigned? How many did you terminate and after how long? Turnover rates are historically high as 4.5 million people quit their jobs in March 2022, up from 4.35 million people who quit in February 2022. A portion of this statistic could certainly be attributed to an ineffective interview process. In this blog, we will dive into some reasons why you [...]
