Thinking about hiring soon? The first step in the hiring process is to identify the need, are you looking to: - fill a vacated position? - better manage a team’s workload? - expand your team’s reach?... Then begin to create a recruitment plan by considering the following: - How does the new role align with your business goals and plans? - What is your communication plan, internally and externally? - What is the criteria for initial candidate screening? - What does the interview process look like? - Who will conduct the interviews? Once you have the answers to the above, create a job description. When you know who you are looking for, the recruitment and selection process becomes clearer. #recruitment #hrsubscriptionservices #humanresources #HRConsultant

Have you changed the way you do things at work? Physical distancing, physical barriers, PPE, sick day procedures, working from home? When was the last time you reviewed your Policy Manual? Take a look at the dates on your policies..... has it been while since you reviewed them? How much has changed since they were written? As a general rule you should review your policies every 1-3 years, but ideally, they should be reviewed annually. With everything that has happened this... year now is as good a time as any is as good a time as any to review your existing policies and procedures, and update or create new ones.
