Will They Stay or Will They Go? How Stay Interviews Can Help You Keep the Good Ones

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 09:00:00 -0000

You've probably been there - going along, everything seems fine, and then out of the blue, one of your best employees quits. How did you not see it? Why didn't they say anything to you? Are other employees thinking about leaving? In this episode, we discuss how conducting stay interviews can help you keep the employees you want to keep and potentially alert you to brewing problems. These interviews do not have to be stressful or anxiety-provoking - they can actually be fun! And they are a great way to make sure your best employees are getting what they need to stay engaged and with the company for a long period of time. Tune in to find out more about this underutilized tool!

These Times, They Are A' Changing: How the World of Work is Shifting

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 09:00:00 -0000

Although these trends were starting prior to COVID, the pandemic did seem to bring into sharper focus for a lot of people how they want to work. Many individuals are choosing not to pursue the traditional 40-hour workweek with one employer; instead, more and more people are opting for freelancing opportunities with multiple employers. In this episode, we discuss how employers can embrace this shift in work dynamics rather than dreading it.

Julie was drinking Clarendelle, a Bordeaux Blanc. It was a nice blend of several white varieties that made for a pleasing wine with soft notes of citrus, lemon, perhaps a little olive oil. Trisha was drinking Unshackled Cabernet Sauvignon by Prisoner Wine Company. She commented on its notes of blackberry, fig, and olive tapenade. This is one of her new favorites!

Difficult Conversations: I Don't Want to Talk About It!

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 09:00:00 -0000

It's part of the human experience that we tend to hate having uncomfortable or difficult conversations. In fact, many of us will go to great lengths to avoid any conversation that even hints at being awkward or uncomfortable. Unfortunately, as HR professionals and managers, it is part of our job to have such conversations. In this episode, we'll give tips and tricks for making those conversations a little bit easier to manage.

The "Feed Forward" method we discussed during this episode was created by Marshall Goldsmith. You can read more about it at his website: https://marshallgoldsmith.com/articles/try-feedforward-instead-feedback/. We also shared the CHANGE method with you. For reference, here it is: C= Have a CONVERSATION. H=Be HUMAN. A = ADVISE the employee of the problem. N = NAME the specific behaviors that need to change. G=GIVE the employee a chance to respond. E = Set EXPECTATIONS moving forward. And don't forget to DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT!

Performance (Mis)Management

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Employees Behaving Badly

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Employees who behave badly (think: yelling or screaming at co-workers, slacking off, disrupting the workplace environment, etc.) can be toxic to the workplace. And while it is tempting to ignore the behavior and hope it goes away, that rarely works. Ignoring the behavior can also lead to your good employees jumping ship. In this episode, we discuss why it is so important to address bad behavior, as well as the best ways to do so.

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 09:00:00 -0000

In our work lives, it can be downright dangerous, leaving you and your company at risk for claims of unfair treatment, discrimination, harassment, and the like. In Part One, we discuss what implicit bias is and how it is most likely to show up in the workplace for you as an HR professional or manager.
