Employees are expensive. Keeping an office open on Christmas Eve when your net sales are less than $500 is not smart when you are paying over $1000 in utilities and employee salaries.

According to Chris Murphy at Glassdoor, the NFL made an estimated $12 billion, making it the top gross earning sports league in the world.

“The value of a diverse team is its capacity to challenge the norm or group think and thus boost organizational performance and improve decision-making.” Yrthya Dinzey-Flores Diversity in the workplace is a topic that has been covered in many different ways, and by now, we are all aware that this includes race, gender, religion, age, and culture.

Not that long ago, for critical positions, hiring managers would often reach out to recruiters to help them find those stellar candidates. Recruiters had the unique ability to find and connect with passive job candidates that would otherwise not respond to a “help wanted” advertisement. In recent years, however, with the rise of LinkedIn and other professional networking sites, employers seem to be able to reach passive candidates much easier without using a recruiter. This [...]
