WORKPLACE RELATIONS & RECRUITMENT: TO SMILE OR NOT TO SMILE?

Have you ever thought, what is the first thing you do when you step into your office?

Is it a smile to your colleagues; a worried face for being late; a silent entrance or a loud “good morning”? Probably, something like that. Does it really matter?

Now, have you ever thought, what is the first thing that crosses your colleagues’ mind when they see your entrance? Silly, neutral, positive, negative? Probably, something like that. Does it really matter?

Recruiting Is A Game of Constraints. Play It.

The 4 Challenges Facing Healthcare Recruitment in 2017

Recruiting is challenging in any industry, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find an industry where it’s more strenuous than in healthcare. The stakes are high and healthcare facilities can’t afford to onboard talent that doesn’t fit their specific needs.

The major recruiting challenges facing healthcare

Healthcare organizations don’t have the luxury of occasionally making the wrong hire. On top of the high cost of onboarding a new hire, there are also legal risks associated with hiring an individual who purposefully or inadvertently breaks protocol, violates HIPPA rules, or harms patients.

How I Wrote My New Book – Social Media Recruitment

After fourteen months in the making, my latest project – my new book, Social Media Recruitment – is now published*. And if I say so myself it is a damn good book –ok, I am a little biased 🙂
