🎧 HR Insights - Power of Networking
With economic uncertainty and potential layoffs looming, networking is more important than ever, says Larry Blankstein, PhD, a leading consultant in clinical operations. Many professionals wait until they’re actively job hunting to build connections, but the most successful ones treat networking as an ongoing strategy. Reaching out before you need help, offering value in conversations, and maintaining genuine relationships can make all the difference when career transitions happen.
đź’ˇ HR Tips & Tricks
Tip of the Day: Start a “learning potluck” in your workplace. Instead of traditional training sessions, have employees take turns sharing short presentations on books, courses, or industry trends they’ve found useful. This encourages continuous learning in an engaging way without requiring a big budget.
Trick of the Day: Change the default font in your email client to one that is slightly more difficult to read. Studies show that when people have to slow down to read something, they retain the information better. This small tweak can help ensure important HR messages are not just skimmed but actually understood.
