Humans have an innate ability to connect and collaborate.  In fact, some say it’s a biological need. As we grow and develop we crave human interaction – regardless of how extraverted or introverted we might think we are. So if we genuinely desire to collaborate, why is effective team collaboration and engagement often one of the most difficult things to achieve in the workplace? The Amazing and Unique Human Brain No two brains are alike.  Our brains are shaped by our genetics, our environment, our experiences and our thoughts. We can never be exactly on the same page as another person.

Employee retention is a hot-button issue for organizations in most, if not all, industries. recent study by Steelcase has shown that only 14% of US employees are “highly engaged” and “highly satisfied”. As these types of engagement and satisfaction surveys continue to show a decline in happy employees, many business leaders are struggling to discover how they can improve employee moral, engagement, and loyalty. One way to combat this issue is through career development initiatives. Employee assessments come in a variety of different forms. Building a Development Plan. Create Actionable Steps.

Jones left Mexico for America when he was 15 and supported himself doing drywall. He became invaluable to his employer, Ketchikan Drywall in Seattle.

Here’s the average amount of time recruiters spend  looking at a resume: 6.25 seconds. That’s how long it takes to evaluate, by brain, whether or not a candidate is the right fit for a job. And here’s another stat: this is the thirteenth month in a row when 200,000 plus jobs have been created. So, theoretically, to fill 200,000 jobs would require 347 hours of brain time. That doesn’t count all the other candidates who didn’t make the cut. Or what happens after the hire. The variations on  success or failure in HR are always endless : we’re human, not robot, for one thing. Churn / retention.
