Working from home: Many people dream of such a perk and come to find that once this dream becomes a reality, they find themselves less motivated and even less engaged with their management and team. If your organization prides themselves on offering flexible work-from-home options, consider implementing some of these strategies to keep all of your employees working hard and working happy!

It's a given that some questions are a "no-no" when interviewing a candidate. Thou shall not ask about religion, race, or the marital status of your prospective candidate. That was all covered in Interview 101 - it's grade-school stuff. But what about questions that are irrelevant, inappropriate, or downright stupid?

Nothing puts your pride and emotions on the line quite like job searching.  We’ve all been there before.  You feel like your experience fits the job description perfectly and you just rocked your first-round interview.  Then the silence begins.  You don’t hear anything for days and then weeks.  Then you begin to question everything… “Did my breath smell?” “Did I ask too many questions?” “Did I follow up too many times?” “Did my thank you note get lost in the mail?”  Sounding familiar?  Try to jog those memories of ambiguous rejection next time you conduct interviews for your organization’s open positions.

Can you remember a time when your day wasn't interrupted by the sound of your smart phone vibrating on the metal filing cabinet next to your desk? Do you have a running tally of how many times you check your phone during the day?  In the year 2016 it's inevitable that personal tech devices will make their way into the office. So now is as good of time as ever to get your policies up to speed with the growing tech scene.  We've got some ideas to help make your phone policy more flexible and reasonable for your employees.
