Any kind of regular feedback from a superior can be valuable and positive employee feedback can take many forms. Similar to when a teacher hands back a paper with the final grade, feedback from your boss can be extremely valuable in measuring your personal and professional growth. However, there are no grades or nice stickers that show how well you did on a project at the workplace. Sometimes, there is actually no clear way of knowing how well you are doing until your quarterly performance review or your 1on1.
What does employee engagement look like? If you’re currently at work, take a sneaky look around your office. I’m sure you will be able to spot some of the following co-workers: Busy Guy/Gal Forever swamped with work, the busy guy or gal only replies to your emails after an immense amount of hours.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when hearing the word ONBOARDING? Orientation, of course. Whether you’re a freshman in high school or college, the first day anywhere can be overwhelming and nerve-racking; yet, very exciting and productive. Getting your new hire acquainted with the company goals and values since day one will help ease the nervousness of getting started. Nothing says ‘Welcome to the team’ quite like successful onboarding.
In 2017, money is NOT the only thing that motivates employees. It’s no longer enough to keep just the customers happy, but also one’s own employees. Employee retention is vital to any organization’s success. Captivated and satisfied employees are an organization’s most valuable asset; they play a big role in today’s working environment and without a talented, motivated team, there’s no true business success. The last thing a company would want is their employees walking out the door singing “Take This Job and Shove It” by Johnny Paycheck.
