This is a really good question and the answer is, that it depends. We certainly feel HR can be an unhealthy profession. All HR professionals want to serve others and their differing positions or needs. Typically, HR is put in the position of not being able to make everyone happy, which results in constant conflict much of the time. The HR professional always seems to have a daily, unexpected crisis to deal with as nothing ever goes as planned. Steve notes that he was never able to get a big proj...
Join Kelly and Steve on this week's podcast as they discuss recruiting and finding the right fit for your organization. Every organization is looking for talent and every hiring manager wants the “perfect” fit. Many hiring managers have a “wish list” of competencies and experience they want the candidate to have, but the truth is, the “wish list” is often different from the true needs for the position and results in over hiring. Over hiring results in the new hire becoming quickly disengaged fro...
Join Kelly and Steve this week as they discuss turnover with #1 Best Selling Author, of the “Quit Alternative”, Ben Fanning. Turnover is rapidly increasing, primarily because job-hopping is rewarded. On average, employees receive an 18-20% pay increase by changing jobs and only 3%, on average, as an annual salary adjustment with current their employers. There is also a growing negativity towards organizational loyalty, due in large part to employer layoffs, or downsizing, at the slightest hint o...
SHRM reported that in April 2021, 4 million employees (2.7% of workers in America) quit their jobs and that the US is seeing record turnover. 25% of employees plan to leave their job in 2021, according to SHRM. According to SHRM, 36% of those changing jobs are doing so for better compensation.

Ghosting is common and many recruiters are scheduling twice as many cand...

This is our final podcast for 2020!!!! Oh - what a year it has been. As we look back on this year marked by COVID-19 we can’t help but be humbled by all we have faced as an HR community. This has really been the year we were thrust into uncharted territory and forced to help guide our organizations through this crisis.

We are living in stressful times as COVID-19 rattles our world.

Are you prepared? Do you have the three criti...
