By |October 13, 2021|

When searching for jobs, most applicants research the company and what the benefits and perks are of working for that company. They are lured by rooftop Yoga, SoulCycle Wednesdays, beer on draft at the office, ping pong tables and virtual reality rooms. But COVID hit and most of the workers went virtual. For HR and People professionals, the way we attract candidates had to change in this pandemic world. How are companies pivoting with their benefits and perks packages? Before COVID hit, the ability to WFH (work from home) or remote work was considered a perk by most organizations and their employees.

Given the rapid pace of issues the aviation industry is faced with, one day per year is not sufficient but a mere single step in a multi-stage recurrent training program [...]

By |Blogs, Frontpage Articles, Talent Search & Recruitment|

Does your organization have an onboarding process for new hires? Do you remember to afford  your new executives the same privilege.
