nettime solutions

After all, doing so means they have to consider the fact that their own employees are “stealing” time, which, for many companies, is as important a commodity as any other.

Hireology

Automotive dealerships spend a significant amount of budget on advertising to attract qualified consumer leads and, as a result, sell more vehicles. But ultimately, your dealership employees are much more important than advertising or any other collateral used to get customers in the door. No matter how much research customers complete online or how many times they’re targeted by your dealership ads, they’ll still have to interact with your dealership employees in order to make a final purchase.

Ask a Manager

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. My employee doesn’t want to work when it snows. I’m a manager in a medium-size nonprofit where I oversee a staff of twelve. Last year one of my employees had attendance problems related to various stressors involving family members, a personal loss, illness, car trouble, winter weather, etc. Some of these stressors were quite significant; others were the sort of thing most of us would power through and handle after our workday was over.

my employee melts down when work is stressful

Ask a Manager

A reader writes: I manage an employee who is smart, attentive, and dedicated to the work she does. Overall, she’s amazing and has a strong work ethic, the kind of driven personality anyone would love to have on their team. Except for when she is stressed or feels pressure from difficult clients.

Organizations Need to Address the Core Issues with Performance Reviews

HR Bartender

There continues to be discussion about “ditching” or “killing” the traditional annual performance review. I get it.

What Female Employees Really Want in the Workplace

Achievers

This is not the 1960s, but it’s difficult to convince many female employees who function within outdated corporate Human Resources policies.
