Case in point, when looking for a job, social media can be extremely valuable in your job search. It’s like networking. Don’t wait until you need something to start using it.

This week, Canadian ad agency, Union Advertising, shows us how they reward their employees for their hard work. While obviously a spoof, the hint of truth to the ad will strike a nerve with most of us, and is a great example of how not to treat your employees. Are there really employers like this out there? I hope not. Instead, we’d love to hear what your organization does that actually puts a smile on your face and makes you feel recognized and rewarded.

But what you may not have considered is the indirect costs of on-the-job accidents and injuries, which go beyond what you pay for workers’ compensation insurance.

'In this third (and final) post on innovation, I wanted to share how companies view and support innovation. Because not every company views innovation in the same way. And that’s a good thing. On some level, if everyone viewed innovation the same way, it might get a bit boring. During part one of the series, we discussed whether innovation can be taught.

While patient care has always been a top priority for healthcare leaders, now more than ever, the experience provided by practitioners is just as important as the treatment patients receive. Recent studies show a direct correlation between highly engaged employees and genuine care towards patients. On the contrary, disengaged staff lead to poor patient experiences, higher turnover, and decreased productivity.

It didn’t mirror real life. It wasn’t realistic. If I train you on how to change a bus tire indoors on a smooth surface with all of the proper tools at hand, you’ll be more likely to be successful if you have to put that skill into practice.
