Shift from “Me” Performance to “We” Performance with Agile Performance Management
By Peoplescape Consulting Group|2019-04-18T21:39:25-07:00April 18, 2019|
In our previous two blogs we discussed what it takes to become Agile and how recruiting needs to evolve. Now you have great talent onboard, how do you continue to manage their performance in an Agile way? The way in which performance is managed and measured deeply affects the culture of the organization. Traditional methods have individual goals, targets, key improvement areas and 360 reviews. With an Agile organization, these are replaced with continuous feedback, constantly evolving goals, and targets for teams rather than individuals. […]

Why Millennials Leave
2018-04-11T16:22:01-07:00By Jennifer Burton|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation, Talent Management|
We Won't Pay For Your Lexus, Boss Man! We have written about millennials several times, and there’s a reason for that. We promise. Not only do some of us here at Peoplescape identify with the millennial label, we have been subject to the stereotypes placed on our colleagues (and at times ourselves). You know the ones: Millennials are fickle, they never settle in one place, they’re selfish, and they don’t care about the companies that they work for – always [...]
When Employees Don’t Show Up

Terminating an employee is always a tricky topic to navigate. No matter the size of your organization, letting employees go is something to be dealt with very carefully as we’ve discussed in previous blog posts. This time, let’s focus on if/when/how you are legally allowed to terminate an employee who is out on leave. What should you do when employees don't show up? #terminations #FMLA It is never legal to fire an employee simply because he or she took [...]

Like moths to the flame, millennials are attracted to shiny new objects. Right? Isn’t that the perception for our younger generation in today’s workplace? But shockingly, the one thing that attracts millennials to your organization more than a new cell phone, a company car or the latest in Apple technology on their desktop, is something that used to be much more prevalent. It has since fallen to the wayside as priorities seem to have shifted for many companies, and budgets [...]

As we excitedly embark on 2016, many people make resolutions in their personal life.

Just like in your personal life, there are always areas to improve in your professional career and your workplace as a whole. Here are a few suggestions to spark your resolution [...]
Unlimited Vacation – Moving Away from Attendance and Towards Production
2018-04-11T16:22:34-07:00By Peoplescape Consulting Group|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, Rewards & Benefits|
In recent years, several companies have moved to “unlimited” or “flexible” vacation plans. The old way of earning vacation time based off of hours worked has gone by the wayside. Employers are embracing the idea of having better work-life balance and fostering the trust-relationship between employer and employee. When these plans first started surfacing, there were several skeptics and many people assumed that the policy would be abused. The reality, however, has shown that this [...]
Recruiting Metrics: What do the Numbers Really Mean?
2018-04-11T16:22:42-07:00By Jennifer Burton|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, Talent Search & Recruitment|
Recruiting metrics can look as convoluted as the formula for finding the square root of pi if you don’t know what it is you are looking at. I myself am admittedly not a numbers gal. I’d prefer to write a 5000 word essay over a page of multiplication and algebraic equations any day! And this is fairly common for human resources professionals, as we don’t always identify ourselves as “numbers” people. However, in order to be efficient recruiting experts, understanding [...]
Succession Plans: Help Them Grow or Watch Them Go!
2018-04-11T16:22:50-07:00By Jennifer Burton|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation, Talent Management|
We are all familiar with the small Mom & Pop companies that don’t have any real HR departments in place, lack procedures and documentation, and basically do what they’ve been doing because “hey it works for us!” As an HR professional, this is definitely not the recommended path for our clients and blog readers! No matter the size of the company, HR is necessary. The same can be said for succession plans and career development. [...]
Time Off During the Holidays
2018-04-11T16:22:57-07:00By Peoplescape Consulting Group|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, Rewards & Benefits|
It can be an employer’s nightmare – how do you manage all these vacation requests and deliver on business needs? Some industries like hotels and retail have no choice, they MUST be open for the holiday season while other industries have the option of shutting down or offering work-from-home options. No matter where you fall in that spectrum, you will still be faced with a slew of time off requests. What do you do? Set [...]
Hiring People Where They Are
2018-04-11T16:23:06-07:00By Jennifer Burton|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, Talent Search & Recruitment|
Meeting people where they are is a common theme amongst community groups and churches. Why not adopt this same mantra in the workplace when it comes to attracting top talent? Meeting job applicants where they happen to be is a critical next step in where recruitment is headed in 2016. Whether that may be on Facebook or Twitter or LinkedIn, or simply by utilizing mobile job applications that can be easily accessed on cell phones [...]
You’re Invited! Navigate the Work Holiday Party!
2018-04-11T16:23:44-07:00By Peoplescape Consulting Group|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation|
It’s been announced that there’s a holiday gathering! Fantastic! Finally time to let loose, party it up and have some fun with coworkers – or is it? I suppose the answer can depend on the person, but as rule, remember that work-sponsored parties, even if they do offer free booze, is still a WORK party! Don’t let one party be the game-changer for how people see you professionally after that “one crazy night!” Here are [...]
