Social Media Use

How social media can be used to benefit the workplace relationships? Co-workers can use social media to interact with one another and build better relationships. A stronger relationship among employees leads to more cohesive and productive work teams. Social media is an easy way to encourage communication between employees and help to share ideas and increase engagement both while at work and at home. Because social media is accessible almost anywhere, your staff is able to interact with one another even when not at work. The ability to interact outside of work will help boost employee morale and engagement. Your work teams, especially, could improve as they grow closer together. Potential issues with mixing personal social media with workplace relationships?

Why the best hire might not have the best resume?

Why the best hire might not have the best resume? A resume tells a story. And over the years, I've learned something about people whose experiences read like a patchwork quilt, that makes me stop and fully consider them before tossing their resumes away. A series of odd jobs may indicate inconsistency, lack of focus, unpredictability. Or it may signal a committed struggle against obstacles. At the very least, they deserves an interview.  As you meet successful business people and read profiles of high-powered leaders, you notice some commonality. Many of them had experienced early hardships, anywhere from poverty, abandonment, death of a parent while young, to learning disabilities, alcoholism and violence. The conventional thinking has been that trauma leads to distress, and there's been a lot of focus on the resulting dysfunction. But during studies of dysfunction, data revealed an unexpected insight: that even the worst circumstances can result in growth and transformation.

Transferrable Skills!

Transferrable Skills Leadership Leadership skills aren’t only your ability to supervise and manage a team. Leadership skills also include your ability to take the lead on a project and get a team to follow through and accomplish shared goals. Leadership encompasses many additional transferable skills like communication, problem-solving, and relationship building. Problem Solving Your problem-solving skills help you not only identify that there is a problem, they also help you identify what is causing the problem and find a way to implement a solution. Employers appreciate it when an employee identifies bottlenecks or inefficiencies in a process or procedure. However, they are even more appreciative when staff also offer solutions to those issues. Analytical Reasoning Analytical reasoning is, in some ways, part of your problem-solving skills: taking the larger problem and breaking it down into smaller problems to identify a solution. Put another way, employers want staff who can find lo

Promotional Strategies

Image
  1. How does the company create awareness of its product? Brand awareness is important because it helps people remember your products and your mission. Blogs, infographics and guest articles are a great way to get started with content. Native advertising, social media and influencer partnerships are a great way to get started with the distribution of that content. 2. How does the company get consumers to try its product? Coming up with a new product or service is a lot of work, which unfortunately does not stop once it’s ready launching and promoting it is the other half of the equation.

Impact of Bullying in Workplace

Image
Workplace bullying is abuse of conduct that is threatening, humiliating, intimidating, work interfering and sabotaging which prevents work from getting done. Just because none of the employees have complained about being bullied at work doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Many victims of workplace bullying suffer silently out of fear of retribution and because it’s often hard for them to fully explain what is happening and how it started. Supportive co-workers can play a huge role in helping victims get up the nerve to report the situation to higher-ups. Victims who don’t have someone to talk to about their story have a hard time coping with bullying. Even if it’s not comfortable as a co-worker reporting the behaviour, letting the victim tell their story, go with them to have a drink and vent, or just being feel believed can help. When a victim does have the strength to report the situation, it’s critical that managers reserve judgment. Even when the story is hard to follow, managers need
