There were boxes of files and half empty glasses of water on the floor and assorted souvenirs from conferences strewn across any spare bench space. Remarkably, he seemed to be able t

However, for your workforce to truly be an asset, it also needs to be stable. High rates of employee turnover are going to make it hard for you to build a strong culture, and they will also make it hard to be as efficient as you can. Hirin

The work retreat…Should we have one?

The Work Retreat. It’s a concept that has been mercilessly ridiculed in comedies in recent years. If those two words have you thinking group tug of wars and hiking, then maybe it’s time for a fresh approach.  Recently HR Central went away for our annual retreat, or as some people refer to it as an "off-site".  As Chief Communications Officer, I am really glad we did.

There’s no point asking your employees how happy they are on a scale of 1-10 if you’re not going to act on what they tell you! The purpose of an employee engagement survey should be to establish how emotionall
