By Stuti Dhandhania|2020-01-08T14:19:59-08:00June 10, 2019|
In our previous blogs, we discussed how to hire, how to measure performance and what an Agile leader looks like. In “Shift from “Me” Performance to “We” Performance with Agile Performance Management” we spoke about moving performance measures from a single individual to a team’s performance. How does this affect and change the way we reward or recognize members of Agile organizations? How do you design a successful reward program that promotes teamwork, celebrates team successes, and at the same time, recognizes team members who have excelled – in their performance and/or working with others?

Effective & Inexpensive Ways to Motivate Your Staff

After the holidays, there seems to be a dull roar in the office, a sense of apathy and melancholy can sometimes prevail as the weather gets colder, and the holiday cheer has been blown out of everyone’s sails. Motivating your staff is a yearlong predicament, and one that can be approached from different strategies. Do you offer performance bonuses? Commission for your sales team? Incentives for high-achieving employees each month? #motivate #employees #bonus While all [...]
Don’t Tip the Scales: Creating a Work/Life Balance
2018-04-11T16:21:41-07:00By Peoplescape Consulting Group|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation, Rewards & Benefits|
It seems like an elusive idea that people work toward but very rarely ever find! Perhaps the problem is that the idea of it is so simple and people expect that having it will be just as simple. In reality, work/life balance is something that must be worked at continuously. Just because you have it one week doesn’t mean it is going to be there next week! So how do we take steps to start [...]
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
2018-04-11T16:22:08-07:00By Jennifer Burton|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation|
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 [...]
Shiny New Toys: Attracting Your Next Millennial Stars
2018-04-11T16:22:18-07:00By Jennifer Burton|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation, HR Technology, Rewards & Benefits, Talent Search & Recruitment|
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 [...]
Resolutions: What Is Showcased, is Achieved

As we excitedly embark on 2016, many people make resolutions in their personal life. Whether its to finally start eating healthy, stick to that workout routine, or manage your budget better, one place people don’t always think about making resolutions for is the workplace. 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!

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 [...]
