Sometimes I wonder who Nae is...

I may have mentioned this already but this year I was invited to speak to a group of job seekers at an employment assistance center. The subject was how to interview with a company. My main point that I tried to stress was that they needed to unde…

I actually agree with what Frank has said. Just sayin'.

I think you could ask William Shakespeare to craft your announcement and it wouldn't have the slightest positive impact on overall morale. The reality is that a 10 year employee with influence who has been (for better or worse) an advocate of othe…

This question came up on the forum recently. We have several "serial applicants". Its always a little awkward. Often they were just average or marginal employees and we simply don't want to rehire them. They feel nostalgic about their employmen…

I think this is an interesting discussion and worth having. Either you discuss issues openly and honestly or you stifle discourse and people remain silent but grow angry. In light of the increasing states passing gay marriage, I think the distinc…

Our handbook simply states that makeup should "look natural and not draw attention". We have an abiding priniciple througout our dress code that anything that is "distracting or offensive" would be innappropriate. So extremely gaudy makeup would be …

I have to disagree with you Kelros. A marriage, anniversary, pregnancy, graduation announcement is an announcement of an event. Announcing your sexual preference is not the same. Its a personal revelation. I think courtesy should be a hallma…

I think its great if this employee wants to announce his "coming out" as long as its not expected that every person he feels he must announce this too is required to congratulate him or jump up and down. I think that is the part I would take issue…

I need to remember to sue the Evil HR lady for stealing my thoughts. Supposedly she posted that on May 20th. Time travel? Well played, Evil HR Lady, well played...

Nae, I don't disagree with you but I think public recognition isnt as effective as we like to think it is for several reasons. - An employee gets recognized while the majority do not. - The recognized employee may or may not be respected by his or…
-
Bullion, this topic has been discussed many times over the years and a search of the forum would provide some pretty interesting viewpoints for you to consider. Here is my personal 2 cents for what is worth: Employee recognition programs cannot …

"What would Jesus do?"

I read this post with interest because we have experienced several "serial applicants" who were former employees. I've debated telling them "you probably will never get hired back" but that is a very difficult conversation to have. Often these …

Got it. Makes sense. I've noticed kiosks at different places (Target stores for example) and I've always wondered if anyone used them.
-
Just out of curiousity, why do you feel the need for a kiosk?
-
Boy, this is a fascinating situation. There are so many different things to consider and you could take a variety of different approaches. I wouldn't disagree with anything the other posters have mentioned. I would just add that the employee's beh…

We recently purchased an excellent short sexual harrassment training video from Media Partners called "Lets Get Honest". Its practical, humorous, and current. The acting is good and the styles of clothes are contemporary. It has some very simple…
-
In This Together is a good video. Media Partners is an excellent company based out of Seattle. Fantastic customer service and just a great group of people to work with. I haven't seen the "The Plus of Us" but I'd give that a look as well based o…

I am a little confused by your terminology, specifically the word "site". I think you may be referring to both a physical site that this EE worked at and also a "website" or "computer system" that the EE was supposedly monitoring from home. Regar…

We edited the rain out.

The retail store I worked for was I. Magnin's in the South Coast Plaza. At the time, this was one of the ritziest malls in California. I think I only got hired because I happen to apply at the exact moment that one of their sales associates was lea…

Uh, sure Nae. Did you watch this video closely?

I won a contest on HR HERO one time for our employee's excuse for oversleeping and being late to a dishwashing shift: "I dreamed I was already here." That's a direct quote from his signed infraction notice.
-
I am not proud to say that I did actually sleep at not one but two of my different jobs when I was in college. One was a night shift at a hotel from 11 pm until 7 am. I was taking a full load of daytime classes so you can see how that would hap…

This is an ugly example of Droidism.

Sharon, March Madness is a celebration of basketball: -displaying knowledge of basketball -betting on basketball -watching basketball -creating "brackets" of basketball games -finding affirmation through basketball -Using words like "Jimmer" and "…
-
Yeah, I saw your post. That's why I thought I would bring it up. If its any encouragment to you, my bracket is doing really well.

I can't think of a particular incident or situation but what I can say is that its an exceptional thing to have the full support of your boss through thick and thin, ups and downs, etc. My boss (our exec director) encourages me, supports me, challe…

Thats a great question. I think the culture just evolved naturally over time. Day by day, FB has grown as a tool for communication. It wasn't anything that I did intentionally other than to recognize its effectiveness. What really helped is that …
