The process of involving the employees in the goal-setting process empowers them, instills responsibility and accountability, gives them freedom, and keeps them

We spend an average of 90,000 hours of our lives at work. But according to psychologist, bestselling author and host of the WorkLife podcast Adam Grant, too many of those hours are unhappy ones.

By Katherine Konrad, an experienced marketing professional and recent Celarity contractor . Putting your name in more hats increases your chances of being picked, right?

There’s a nursing shortage! I don’t know when I started hearing about it, but it was probably in the early 2000’s right before I set off for college. I distinctly remember hearing that nursing was a great career choice. And I once considered pursuing it–even after the movie, Meet the Parents , played up the stigma around male nurses. There was a shortage of nurses, I was told.

For a growing or small business, finding and retaining quality employees goes beyond compensation. Employers are able to offer benefits that employees can't access on their own, and so benefits provide value for employees at a relatively low cost to companies. The benefits package your company offers is often a deciding factor for candidates. When to Offer Employee Benefits Corporations and better-funded companies may seem to have access to the best benefits.
