Have you ever heard the Igbo adage that says, "whenever you wake up, that is your own morning" It's barely 3 days away from the start of the final quarter of the year 😀 . How many of your employees have taken off to explore new horizons? More importantly, how did you make sure their valuable know-how stayed put, even as they moved on to new adventures and "greener pastures" 😁 ? Speaking of adventures and greater heights, how do you ensure your organization doesn't stumble if one or two key employees move on? Will that department or unit be left in the dark if someone leaves today and is unavailable to onboard your new hire? These are the questions every Organization should be tackling head-on. Process documentation and building a collective knowledge hub should be every organization's goal. A future where transitions are smooth, and continuity is preserved!

One of the things I most admire about our team at McCann Partners is the innovative ideas they bring to the table. For every challenge that meets a candidate and client, we all feel a responsibility to be a part of the solution. Our discussions can have a life of their own, branching off in one direction or another as new ideas are introduced. But without fail, the conversation always goes quiet when Angelica Carroll begins to speak because everyone wants to hear what she has to say. Over the past three years, Angelica has helped McCann Partners with the adoption of technology (and more effective utilization of our tech stack), process enhancements, improved documentation, streamlined workflows, and much more. In addition, her systematic mindset, meticulous attention to detail, thoroughness, and forward-thinking approach are just a few of the reasons why she plays such a vital role in our team. Angelica, I feel truly blessed to have your voice in the chorus of McCann Partners, and I can't wait to see what you do next. #McCannPartners #EmployeeSpotlight #StaffingSolutions #Recruiting #ITStaffing #ITHiring

🏠 Bridging the Gap: Title agencies are navigating a delicate balance between tradition and technology. With seasoned pros retiring and transaction levels subdued, building a unified culture is key.

This dedicated time allows everyone to share their current projects 📑, while providing employees with business updates 📊. This monthly check-in promotes transparency, collaboration, and accountability within the team 🏆.

In a bustling workplace like ours at Sevenstep, it's easy to get caught up in the daily grind, focusing solely on the tasks at hand. But some of the most valuable moments happen when we take a step back and intentionally create opportunities to interact in new ways. Today was one of those moments. On the day of the NFL Draft (Go Bears!), we hosted our own annual Buddy Draft – a live draft that randomly pairs people together for a year of new connections, fostering friendships and fun over new experiences or shared interests. Jim Becker and Natalie Scheiman knocked it out of the park, leading us through the Draft – costumes, banter and all. As a leader, I'm passionate about making room for serendipitous encounters – moments where individuals from different teams come together, perhaps over a cup of tea, cooking class or city tour. These seemingly small interactions may not directly relate to our bottom line, but they form the fabric of our company culture, weaving bonds that transcend job titles and departments. By carving out time like this, we create a workplace where people feel valued, understood and, most importantly, happy. And a happy team is not only better positioned to deliver exceptional service to our clients but also more likely to stay with us for the long haul. Here's to fostering a culture of connection, one smile, one conversation, one friendship at a time.

Operating a business isn't just about successes; often, it demands sheer dedication and hard work. Since August, we've been on a continuous journey, marked by endless days and sleepless nights. The entire team, myself included, has jumped right into the thick of things. We've torn down walls, and those left standing have received fresh coats of paint. Desks have been assembled, disassembled, and reassembled (with a good laugh in between). All this effort has borne fruit, as we've now expanded our workspace, enabling our team to grow from 12 to 16 members. Apologies for the quiet spell on LinkedIn; we've been immersing ourselves in this transformative phase. But now, re-energized and with a bigger team, we're eager to reconnect, share our journey, and embark on new business adventures.

As we head toward the Christmas season, thoughts also turn to the New Year... Are you planning to recruit into your communications team?

The adage "everything starts at home" holds significant weight, especially in the context of the workplace. How individuals behave and interact within their family environments often translates directly into their professional lives. This concept is akin to a tree bearing fruit – the type of fruit being a reflection of one's character and capabilities, showcased consistently across various aspects of life. Consider the scenario where someone naturally assumes the role of the go-to person within their family, providing assistance with tasks, repairs, or offering support. This tendency is likely rooted in qualities such as reliability, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to help others. These same attributes are highly valuable in a team setting at work, irrespective of one's official position within the hierarchy. Focusing on nurturing positive attributes and behaviors at home can contribute significantly to being an impactful team member in the workplace. By embodying traits like dependability, resourcefulness, and a collaborative spirit within the family unit, individuals naturally bring these qualities into their professional roles. This enriches team dynamics by diversifying the skill sets and perspectives available, fostering a more dynamic and effective working environment. Recognizing and valuing the unique contributions that each team member brings based on their individual "fruit" cultivates an inclusive and supportive workplace culture. Embracing diversity in strengths and approaches enhances team synergy and problem-solving capabilities, ultimately leading to greater success and satisfaction for all involved. The foundation of one's character and capabilities, established within the family setting, directly influences their performance and impact as a team member in the workplace. By focusing on cultivating positive traits and behaviors, individuals can become valuable assets to their teams, contributing to a collaborative and thriving work environment. #thoughtoftheday #postoftheday #teamspirit #motivation #knowthyself

According to HiBob, 31% of their customers have reported that they struggle to hire candidates from underrepresented groups. The number is likely to be much higher than that, as most companies won't acknowledge or realise they have a problem right away, if at all. We also know that one of the leading causes for a lack of diversity when hiring is due to human biases when sourcing and interviewing candidates. I've joined Thrive to help companies source more qualified, pre-vetted candidates at the top of the funnel using our psychometric and skills-based assessments (which we also provide for you to use during your interview process and for your existing employees, to build personalised and useful performance and development plans - btw). How do these assessments help to remove bias? They provide a consistent and objective overview of your candidates' personality, aptitude and domain knowledge, benchmarked against millions of other profiles, to accurately predict the likelihood of success within your business and the specific role. This actually WIDENS your talent pool, because you're less likely to reject candidates based purely on what they have written on a CV, or because they aren't expert interviewers. To my fellow TAs and HRs, does this resonate? Do you want to adopt a more data-backed, scientific approach to your hiring processes? If so, send me a message/DM for more info - zumar@thrivetech.co
