Do You Respond or React with Employees?

By pat, No Comments
 

Managers typically focus on performance or behaviors that either enhance or hinder performance with each person on their team. How a manager goes about ensuring that employees meet their responsibilities make a difference between an employee responding or reacting to the manager.

Reacting

An employee who reacts to a discussion with his or her manager is defensive and will not hear the message and will have an adverse reaction to the manager. Whenever anyone reacts, including the manager, it’s a quick reaction without much thought and creates negativity in the communication. There is no time to think about the best solution; rather the reaction is laden with emotions.

Are managers clear around how to best engage their employees?  Maybe they too suffer from lack of full engagement.  Gallup’s most recent research finds that only 13% of employees worldwide are engaged at work.

I found at Dale Carnegie Training an infographic on “The Importance of Employee Engagement.”   If you look at their stats:

  • $11 BILLION is lost annually due to employee turnover
  • Companies with Engage Employees outperform others up to 202%
  • 71% of all employees are not fully engaged

The site also provides drivers of disengagement, traits of an engaged employee and guidelines to help lead the way to increase employee’s engagement with the company.

Is the Video Resume an Effective Recruiting Tool?

By admin, No Comments
 

The traditional resume is still widely used by managers as a tool for recruiting talent.   The resume is flat though and doesn’t give a clear image of who the candidate is, what skills they genuinely process and how well they communicate.  To find out more about the candidate, the recruiter or hiring manager go the next step and set up phone interviews.   What if you could combine the resume, phone interview and visual image of a candidate all in one place.   Would this speed up the sorting and recruiting process?
