Leading People - ECQs

Leading People - ECQsLeading People - ECQsLeading People ECQsECQ 2 Leading PeopleAs discussed in the last blog, the Executive Core Qualification (ECQ) statements are broken down into five categoriesLeading Change Leading People Results Driven Business Acumen Building CoalitionsEach ECQ category has leadership competencies that are required to be addressed within each ECQ. Each ECQ typically has two stories and the leadership competencies can be woven through both stories.Today, we are going to discuss Leading People. The leadership competencies attached to Leading People areConflict Management Encourages creative tension and differences of opinions. Anticipatesand takes steps to prevent counter-productive confrontations. Manages and resolves conflictsand disagreements in a constructive manner.Leveraging Diversity Fosters an inclusive workplace where diversity and individual differences are valued and leveraged to achieve the vision and mission of the organization.Developing Oth ers Develops the ability of others to perform and contribute to theorganization by providing ongoing feedback and by providing opportunities to learn throughformal and informal methods.Team Building Inspires and fosters kollektiv commitment, spirit, pride, and trust. Facilitatescooperation and motivates team members to accomplish group goals.One or more of the Leading People stories should focus on leveraging diversity and conflict management. If you integrate those competencies into the stories, then fruchtwein likely you will also cover team building and developing others.Leading People is focused on leading the people, rather than human capital or human resources management. Many ECQ writers will find that they need to flip stories from Leading People to Business Acumen or vice.To include diversity, identify stories that involve a wide-range of personnel with varied skill sets, ages, or varied experience (e.g., military, industry, university, international). One writer told a st ory of matching more senior staff with millennials he asked the senior staff to mentor and provide knowledge transfer to the newer staff, and he asked the junior staff to teach the senior staff how to use smart phones and other computer programs.Another writer told a story of melding military personnel with non-military. He created special forums and team-building activities to blend the two cultures and bring understanding.For conflict management, one writer told a story about how he assumed leadership for a disorganized and chaotic team in constant conflict with official grievances. He mentored his senior subordinates (Branch Chiefs) to properly use performance evaluations for the staff and enforce performance standards. He professionally developed the entire staff by coaching his Branch Chiefs to properly manage their staffs.Final Tip for Leading People Use stories that focus on more than one person the results need to provide benefit to the greater team or staff/offices. Storie s that focus on only one person and one conflict can be too narrow and may be disqualified by the Qualifications Review Board (QRB). Conflict resolution stories at affect the entire staff are much stronger and show broader expertise in applying the required leadership competencies for Leading People.If you need additional assistance, check out our newly updated book (December 2015),The New SES Application, or visit ourServicespage for a quote.

Military Humanitarian or Compassionate Assignments

Military Humanitarian or Compassionate AssignmentsMilitary Humanitarian or Compassionate AssignmentsIts an unfortunate truth that sometimes during a military career, a member may experience a severe family hardship which requires his/her presence to resolve, with circumstances which make resolving it withemergency leaveimpractical. To help military members in such situations, each of the serviceshas developed a program that allows military members to be re-assigned, or temporarily deferred fromthe assignment if they have a severe family hardship which requires their presence to resolve. TheAir Force, Navy,Marine Corps, and Coast Guard call this program Humanitarian Assignments. The Army calls their program Compassionate Assignments. Exceptional Family Member Program While not a component of Humanitarian/Compassionate Assignments, the Exceptional Family MemberProgram or EFMP warrants special mention. EFMP was developed to make sure military family members (dependents) with special needs (medical, educational, etc.), receive the special attention they require. A small parte of this program is integrated into the military assignments system. When a military member has dependents (spouse, son, daughter, step-son, step-daughter, etc.) with special needs, they are enrolled in EFMP. If the member is selected for an accompanied assignment, one of the first things that happen is the EFMP folks at the losing base contact the EFMP folks at the projected gaining base to determine if the dependents special needs can be adequately addressed at the new location. If not, the assignment iscanceled. It ensures that military dependents are not forced to move to locations where their special needs cannot be adequately addressed, either by the military installation or in the local community. EFMP does not restrict a member from doing his/her share of unaccompanied assignments, however, so they can still deploy. The program merely makes sure that members arent selected for an ac companied assignment to areas where their dependents would not get the special attention they require. Humanitarian/Compassionate Reassignments A Humanitarian Assignment is a special assignment authorized to alleviate a hardship so severe an emergency leave cannot fully resolve it. While each of the serviceshasdifferent procedures, there are some requirements that are common to all the branches. To qualify for a Humanitarian Assignment consideration, a military member must have a documented and substantiated problem involving a family member, which is significantly more severe than other military members situation. Family Member is generally defined asspouse, child, father, mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, a rolle in locoparentis or other persons residing in the household who are dependent for over half of their financial support. In the Coast Guard,father-in-law, andmother-in-law do not qualify as family members for Humanitarian Assignments. The problem must be able to be resolved within a specific time-frame (six months to two years, depending on the branch of service). Military members are expected to be available for worldwide assignment, at all times, according to the needs of the service. Thats a large part of why they get a paycheck. For those who have a permanent or prolonged family problem that prevents reassignment, humanitarian discharge is generally the appropriate action. The Comptroller General has ruled that the military services cannot fund an assignment relocation for humanitarian reasons only. That means there must be a valid slot at the gaining base for the persons rank and job. For example, the Air Force would not be able to reassign an F-15 Fighter Aircraft Mechanic to a base that does not have slots for F-15 Fighter Aircraft Mechanics. However, sometimes a service will allow a member to re-train into a different job, to fill a required slot at the Humanitarian Assignment Location. Army Compassionate Action Requests The Army c alls their Humanitarian Assignment Program Compassionate Action Requests. Compassionate actions are requests from individual soldiers when personal problems exist. The two types of compassionate requests are when personal problems are Temporary (resolvable within a year)Not expected to be resolved within a year Reassignment may be authorized when there are extreme family problems, and the soldiers presence is needed. A soldier may get adeletion or deferment from an overseas assignment if the problem requires them to stay in the U.S. for a short time. If the problem is chronic or cant be resolved in a short amount of time, a compassionate discharge procedureis generally the most appropriate action. Consideration for reassignment may be given in cases of extreme family problems that are not expected to be resolved within a year if it meets the needs of the Army. Requests are made on DA Form 3739, Application for Assignment/Deletion/Deferment for Extreme Family Problems submitted throu gh the chain of command. It must be done by the soldier.Commanders can disapprove of compassionate requests when they do not meet the prerequisites. The Army Personnel Command has approval authority for a compassionate reassignment. Criteria The soldier needs to be present to resolve the problem, and it cant be done with leave.The problem cannot have been foreseen when the soldier last entered active duty.A family member includes spouse, child, parent, minor brother or sister, a person in loco parentis, or the only living blood relative of the soldier. If not one of those people, they must be documented as a dependent or, in the case of parents-in-law, no other member of the spouses family can help.For reassignment, a job (MOS) of the correct rank must be available at the requested installation. A pending assignment may be deferred until the request is decided. However, soldiers in basic training will not be deferred from AIT pending the results.The problem must be temporary and resolvable within one year, although longer deferments are sometimes approved. Examples of Requests That Are Normally Approved Death, rape, or a severe psychotic episode of your spouse or minor childTerminal illness of an immediate family member whose doctor documents they are expected to pass within 12 monthsMajor surgery for a spouse or minor child which will have 12 months or less of recovery timeIf you were separated from your family due to military service (not negligence or misconduct) and your children are being placed in foster careAdoption if the child is being placed within 90 days and the adoption was initiated before notification of reassignment Soldiers en route from an accompanied OCONUS tour to an unaccompanied OCONUS tour may be deferred for up to 30 days. The deferment is for settlement of family when the soldiers presence is required for unforeseen problemsThe recent death of other family members with extenuating circumstances Examples of Requests That Are Normally Not Approved The desire to move to a new areaDivorce or separation and legal actions relating to it, including child custodyGaining child custody in a divorceSole parenthoodSpouses difficult pregnancyFamily members allergiesHousing problemsFinancial problemsChronic problems relating to parents or parents-in-law If a compassionate action request is disapproved, a soldier may only request reconsideration for the same family emergency one time. If that is disapproved, there will be no further reconsideration.

Avoid the comparison trap and run your own race

Avoid the comparison trap and run your own raceAvoid the comparison trap and run your own raceThis is Lesson 6 in our 10-part series on getting what you really want out of life. Were talking goals, dreams, and calling - all stuff I love.Ive been sharing my story of not only becoming a writer but learning a lot of other lessons - like the importance of not comparing myself to others. Run your own race has become a bit of a mantra to me lately.Sidenote if youre enjoying this series, check out one of Michael Hyatts upcoming live trainings on goal-setting. He is the Grand Poobah of this stuff, and Ive learned so much from him.Click here to see a list of dates and times.Also, if you need to get caught up on this series, here are the previous lessons (including audio versions with some bonus material)Lesson 1Find your whoLesson 2Decide not to driftLesson 3Set habits, not goalsLesson 4Measure the processLesson 5Seek feedback, ignore criticismAll right. On with the next one Note To listen to the audio of this lesson, click here.Lesson 6 Run your own raceThe other day, I postedsomething snarky on FacebookSo how do you use social media without hating everyone?To be honest, I was just venting. Im a pretty insecure rolle and can easily get jealous of what other people are doing. And I wanted to know if I was the only one who did that.I received a lot of interesting responses.One person told me to pray more. Another person told me to unfriend everyone. But one person said thisJust remember that everyone deep down just wants to feel loved and important. Anything you see stems from that.I loved that, because thats what I want. To feel loved and important. And usually, I feel pretty good about my life - my goals, my dreams, my accomplishments - until I see someone doing better than me.I know not everyone is this way, but I am. Its a sickness, I think - this fear of missing out, the comparison trap we often find ourselves in.But it doesnt have to be this way.Sure, ignoring people helps some of the time. But sometimes, its just hard to ignore everyone all the time.About a year ago, I learned a crucial lesson. I was drowning in stress and overcome with resentment about my situation. On the outside, I looked like I was winning I had a seven-figure business, a bestselling book, and hundreds of thousands of fans. But inside, I was miserable.All I could think about was what I wasnt doing. What I wasnt achieving. What I had to yet to do. And it was eating me up inside.A number of people helped me get out of that funk, and I detail all of ithere in this article.I am now a lot healthier and happier. But I can still drift into the comparison mode and find myself not enjoying what Im doing.Theres one simple phrase that Ive held onto all this time. It was given to me by a friend who was desperately trying to beat everyone around him in a marathon (like, a literal marathon), and one of the people he was running beside shouted at himRun your own race.Thats become a sort of mantra for me. I dont have to compare myself to other people, because we are all playing different games. Thats the fun part. We get tochoose the games we play, the crafts we want to master.When I hear a friend sharing about his biggest month ever, I can quietly tell myself Run your own race.When I see someones highlight reel on Facebook, I dont have to be mad or assume theyre lying. I can just remind myself that this is not my life. What someone else is doing has no bearing on what I do. Thats their race. I need to run my own.And when I worry about not doing enough and really not being enough, I can quietly say to myselfThis is your race. Run it well.Because, really, thats what we all want, isnt it? To do the thing that only we can do - and to do it well.So if you struggle with comparison and jealousy as I do, let me say to youRun your own race. Jeff GoinsTheres really nothing else for you to do. Cover bands dont change the world, as my friend Todd Henry likes to say. A nd you wont change anything trying to be someone else.Let me say that againYou wont change anything trying to be someone else.Run your own race.See you at the finish line.Thisarticlefirst appeared on Goins, Writer.

This is why delegation is so hard (and how you can fix it)

This is why delegation is so hard (and how you can fix it)This is why delegation is so hard (and how you can fix it)People typically like to do things themselves. We all have a tendency to be overly confident in our abilities.I think that Im a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And Ill tell you right now that Im gonna think Im a better political director than my political director.It welchesnt Trump who said this. It was Obamaas reported in The New Yorkerin November 2008.That confidence is what leads many people to delegate - but leid completely.Ive seen plenty of managers who delegate tasks, such as creating presentations or reports, only to wind up redoing the entire thing. They feel compelled to carefully edit the report line by line or run through the presentation before its given.In that case, they havent actually saved themselves any time.Thats why every good leader has to learn the art of del egation. The secret? Delegation is only tough when you havent hired the right people. If your team excels at their jobs, then all you have to do is choose the best part to make the decisions for each task.Heres how to go about itDelegation departures with hiring the right peopleThe first - and most important - step is finding and hiring people whose judgment you trust. Thats the only way youll be able to hand off projects with confidence.Since youre likely not the expert in every department at your company, its important to use the right proxies to evaluate the skills and competence of potential employees.Ill give you an example of how Ive done this as CEO. When Morphic Therapeutic first started, we were trying to hire a chief scientific officer, specifically, a chemist. I was sitting down with our VP of Finance when our recruiter told us she was sending us a resume to look over. We glanced at each other, and I said, Why would you send this to us? Neither of us knows anything abou t chemistry. Just send it to our Head of Chemistry. He can do the initial screening.The recruiter told me that at many companies, the CEO is expected to screen potential hires first. But that only makes sense if the CEO knows exactly how to evaluate them. In the situation above, I didnt have the chemistry expertise. So I delegated that responsibility to the person who could actually do it.But if youve hired several people, and youre still somehow the best person at every job, youve got a problem. It means youre delegating tasks to the wrong people, or you did a poor job hiring.Once you have the best people, delegation comes easyI gave a talk recently, and during the QA, someone asked me, Whats something your team achieved that you didnt think theyd achieve? And why do you think that happened?My answer related directly to delegation. When creating our series A presentation, our team put together a timeline for when we would move from drug discovery to drug development. I told everyon e not to be reckless or conservative but to use their best judgment. To be honest, I didnt think we were going to meet the timeline we proposed, mainly because something unforeseen often occurs.We ended up hitting it. And I think that happened in part because our Chief Scientific Officer, Bruce Rogers, was free to do his job and lead his team. Theoretically, I could have asked him to send me updates each week, describing everything he was doing and changes he was making. I could have constantly offered my input on each piece of information.Instead, he ran the team and made his own decisions. I wasnt checked out of the process by any means, but simply put, my insight wasnt as valuable in that situation.When it comes down to it, you cant task your team with constant explanations. You have to trust youve hired the right person, so you can feel confident in their judgement and let them do their jobs. And that confidence will be rewarded when your team hits their goals again and again.Bu t you have to know your strengths and weaknessesI am something of your prototypical nerd. From second grade on, I was reading Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. Then, on to Scientific American in high school and to Science and Nature in college, learning all I could about science and technology. But I never deeply understood chemistry. Thats why I always hold chemists in high regard.And yet, here I am. Running a company founded on a chemistry basis.Ive even joked that the best thing about moving from drug discovery to development is that I can start to understand what it is we actually do.Thats obviously a bit of a stretch, but the truth is, there are plenty of areas where my input does not have the same value as other peoples. Thats fine. I can let them make those decisions on their own because I trust their judgment.And thats what delegation is all about. The people in the room who have the most experience and knowledge on a certain subject should be making the decisions about it. If youve hired well, it shouldnt be difficult to step back and let processes happen naturally.This article originally appeared on Quora.com.

Top 5 Ways Brands Advertise to Children

Top 5 Ways Brands Advertise to ChildrenTop 5 Ways Brands Advertise to ChildrenThe FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has many laws regarding advertising and marketing. As you can imagine, when it comes to minors, those laws get enforced severely. In fact, every violation can result in civil penalties of up to $16,000 per incident. Whats mora, the content and style of the ad id more closely scrutinized. For instance, the kind of exaggeration and over the top ads that are fine to show to adults are not viewed the same way when it comes to children. Depending on the age of the child, he or she may not be able to distinguish the fantasy of the advert from the reality of the product. If the ad shows a bicycle with sounds dubbed over it of a motorbike, that bicycle had better make those sounds in real life. Otherwise, the child will have been lied to by the ad. But even if advertisers follow the rules to the letter, it doesnt stop them from finding creative, and legal, ways to bend them from time to time. 1.Celebrity Endorsements There are plenty of celebrities out there on social media, and they are more than happy to push out paid tweets and Instagram deutsche post dhls that children will landsee. It may take just a few seconds to write the post (and in many cases, its simply given to the celebrity verbatim), but they can earn up to $75,000 for an Instagram post, and $30,000 for a tweet. While thats a staggering sum of money, its peanuts compared to the cost of a TV spot, and will probably have a much bigger impact. Whats more, the posts dont even have to be labeled as ads, which means a lot of gullible kids and teens think the celebs they adore are genuinely into that product. 2.Cartoons and Imagery With Kid Appeal Kids and teens love animation. Think back to your younger days, and youll remember that most of your favorite shows growing up were animated. These days, its easier than ever to create animation digitally, and that means advertisers and brands are able to crowbar fun, friendly, and cool animated characters into their ads. From cereal and toys, to candy and clothing, if the children are the targets of the ads, cartoons and kid-friendly images will be front and center. 3. Branded or Sponsored Content Following on from the animation mentioned previously, some advertisers go even further and produce series or webisodes featuring characters connected to the brand. This series of webisodes by Lucky Charms follows the exploits of Lucky the Leprechaun. The whole series is to devised to make Lucky a hit with the kids, who then spot the character on the cereal box in the store and ask for it. And lets not forget the series that were created specifically to sell toys, like Transformers, He-Man, and many others since. 4.Product Placement A close relation to branded content, this aims to advertise to children on a much more subconscious level. Perhaps the greatest example of this is E.T.- The Extra-Terrestrial, which showed the cu te alien being lured into the house by a trail of Reeses Pieces. There were boxes of Cheerios front and center in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, a huge McDonalds logo in Richie Rich, and cans of Pepsi in Home Alone. Product placement is a multi-million dollar investment for brands, and if the film is successful, it can have a huge impact on sales. While adults know whats going on, children are not as perceptive. After the movie, they will not realize why they want a certain product they just do. 5.Showing Other Kids Loving the Product Children want what their friends what. They also want what other kids are enjoying. Its no surprise then that so many ads aimed at children feature kids of a similar age loving the product like it was the greatest thing ever invented. From amazingly delicious junk food, to toys and games that have about ten minutes of playability. This is, of course, just par for the course in advertising. However, when adults see people just ecstatic about a product, we take it with a grain of salt. Children, theyre not as skeptical especially children under ten years old. They see their peers just laughing it up, crazy about a toy, and they want it. The nag factor kicks in, and sure enough, that toy is unwrapped on his or her birthday. Most scholars and experts agree that children should not be targeted in ads, and that there should be stricter rules around it. Adults make the purchasing decisions, children are not armed with enough life experience to know they are being manipulated. But, for the time being, ads will still target children because they are worth billions in sales.

4 Reasons Your Resume Is Being Ignored

4 Reasons Your Resume Is Being Ignored 4 Reasons Your Resume Is Being Ignored Have you spent hours upon hours writing what you thought was the perfect resume, only for it to be consistently ignored by hiring managers? The job market is highly competitive, and your resume is up against tens or hundreds of others every time you apply for a job. Before sending your resume out to another role, address these common weaknesses that may be holding you back: 1. Your Cover Letter Isnt Strong Enough Many people spend days crafting their resumes, only to ruin their chances with a thoughtless, tossed-off cover letter. Your cover letter and  your resume are a team. They need to be equally great if you are to land an interview.  Spend some time crafting an original, inspiring, and tailored cover letter for each application. Your cover letter should detail why youre interested in the role and sum up why youre the right candidate for the job. It should also  speak specifically to the company youre applying to. Yes, that does mean you need to alter it for every role. 2. Your  Resume Profile Isnt Tailored If you are using the same resume profile for every application, you arent doing yourself any favors. Busy recruiters and hiring managers have piles of resumes to get through each and every day.  At best, yours will get a quick skim before they decide whether or not to toss it. Your resume profile is your best  shot at catching  someones  attention and showing them the value you bring to the table. Your profile should be a short, snappy, persuasive paragraph that summarizes your key skills, results, and experiences. The goal is to entice the recruiter or hiring manager to keep reading. Like a cover letter, your resume profile should also be tailored to each role. Make a note of keywords and specific skills highlighted in the job description, and then deploy those keywords and skills in your resume profile. This makes it clear youre a good candidate for the role. 3. Your Resume Is Difficult to Read You could be the perfect candidate for the job, but if the layout of your resume  is off, youre unlikely to be called for interview.  Simply put, the easier your resume is to navigate, the more likely  a recruiter is to actually read it. Spend some time thinking about how your  resume actually looks. Use a clear, simple font, and break sections up with white space. Bullet-pointed lists make the text easy to digest, while bold text is  a great way to highlight important skills and results relevant to the job. Always remember to include a resume profile and core skills section. This ensures recruiters will see your value, even if they only scan your resume for 30 seconds. One final tip: If you are submitting your resume digitally, save it as a PDF to avoid any inadvertent formatting blunders. 4. Your Resume Doesnt Prove Your Impact Recruiters arent all that interested in the day-to-day duties of your previous roles. Theyre more impressed by the impact you made on your former employers. When it comes to your work history, you have to do more than just state what each position involved. Include facts, figures, and metrics that prove your were an asset to your company. For example, dont just say you were involved in client acquisition. Instead, state how many new clients you brought to the company during your tenure. Instead of mentioning you were involved in sales, detail how much revenue you  earned for the company. Whether its costs cut, time saved, problems solved, revenue generated, or awards received, your resume must include some hard evidence of your value. Quantifying your achievements helps back up everything you  say about yourself. A  recruiter or hiring manager wont believe you unless you give them a good reason to.

The Importance of Upskilling Your Employees

The Importance of Upskilling Your Employees The Importance of Upskilling Your Employees In an era of increasing automation and changing business priorities, upskilling is taking on new urgency. Upskilling is more than just a new term for professional training and development. It comes along at a time when teaching your employees new skills is no longer just a nice thing for a company to offer but a must-do. Here’s why: Why upskilling matters The nature of jobs is shifting. Digital innovations are affecting every company and nearly every employee these days. Automation has taken away many jobs but at the same time replaced them with new roles requiring new skills. Those who could do their jobs without strong technical abilities just a couple of years ago must now use an array of technology tools in their everyday tasks. Finding and developing people with digital business skills is not just a priority in IT, but across the organization. Employee expectations are changing. Another reason upskilling is becoming urgent for employers is because newer professionals aren’t going to be satisfied in their jobs if they’re not given serious opportunities to learn. In a and Enactus survey of Generation Z workers (born 1990-1999), a whopping 91 percent cited professional training as an important factor when choosing an employer. It’s not just Gen Z employees, either â€" smart professionals of all ages know they need to be continually developing their skills if they want to stay relevant in the workplace these days. Often, they don’t have the time or money to invest in upskilling outside of work, so they look to their employer for support in this area. Training fuels motivation. Training and development programs boost morale, employee satisfaction, and succession planning. Any time you invest in your employees by providing or supporting upskilling opportunities, they feel more valued, and in turn, grow more loyal to the company. What’s more, when your employees learn new skills, they put themselves in a position to take the next step on their career path with the company, and that’s a win-win: The employee gets a desired promotion, and the organization gets to fill an important position with an experienced, skilled worker who has plenty of institutional knowledge and can hit the ground running. It boosts the bottom line. Though upskilling programs can cost money, they also provide strong ROI. For one thing, it’s often easier and cheaper to address skills gaps in your company by training your current employees, rather than going out and hiring new ones. For another, employees who feel like they don’t have the opportunity to grow and move up at their company tend to leave for other opportunities. That means you have to replace them, and the costs involved in the recruitment and hiring process are high, from advertising the position to potentially paying a signing bonus to the new person. And that’s not even taking into account the time it takes to train the new person once they’re on the job, and the loss of knowledge and experience the former employee took with them when they left. Even if you’re convinced your company should be investing in upskilling opportunities, you may not have a good sense of how to implement them in your organization. Here are a few ideas: Upskilling opportunities ‘Lunch-and-learn’ training sessions. These are attractive for staff who feel they don’t have time to fit in training in the middle of a workday. You can either provide lunch or ask attendees to bring their own to these meetings. You can bring in outside experts to lead the sessions or tap an employee with expertise in the subject. Mentoring and shadowing. You have plenty of subject-matter experts within your company, so why not give them a way to pass their knowledge along? Mentors get to hone their leadership skills, while the employees shadowing them gain valuable real-world experience and advice that can be difficult to pick up in a classroom setting. Virtual learning. It can be hard to get your staff together for on-site training these days, when an increasing number of people are working remotely or from different locations. One solution: an online platform for training, where employees can log in at a designated time and follow a facilitator through a class or lesson. These days, training software is more immersive and dynamic than ever; participants can take quizzes and surveys, watch videos illustrating a particular topic, and even use virtual “rooms” for breakout sessions. Microlearning. For certain subjects, like boosting employees’ understanding of a particular software program, learning in quick bursts can be particularly effective. It entails watching short web-based videos focused on a specific topic, and sometimes completing an exercise or quiz at the end. The sessions typically take between five and 10 minutes, which means employees can take part in them almost any time they have a short break during the day. Tuition reimbursement or assistance. Sometimes, your employees need to study a subject in depth, in a way that goes beyond the organization’s capabilities. When that’s the case, it’s often best to consider paying in part or in full for pertinent courses and industry-recognized certification programs. Creating upskilling opportunities at your company isn’t just smart, it’s critical to the health and growth of your organization. Forward-thinking companies that consider what they want their staff to learn and what training and development methods are best for their goals reap the benefits with employees who are better at their jobs, more motivated and more likely to remain with the company.

How to Find Out if a Company is Hiring

How to Find Out if a Company is Hiring How to Find Out if a Company is Hiring At the Simply Hired Blog, we talk a lot about what your resume should look like, how to succeed in your interview, or how to turn that initial call into a job offer.  If you’re just starting out in the job or career search, however, you may need guidance that is even more preliminary.  Here we’ll take a step back and help with some handy advice regarding just how to find an open job position, to begin with.   Maybe you have a company in mind that you’d like to work for.  Or, perhaps you have a specific industry or field in mind but aren’t sure where to begin when it comes to finding out who’s hiring.  If this sounds familiar, read on as we discuss how to find out if a company is hiring.   The Company Website While it may seem a bit of an old-school approach, getting the lowdown from your target company’s individual website is still one of the most reliable sources of info on not only open positions but also hiring process in general.  Many employers will often solicit job openings on their website before sending out to third-party sources, making frequent and early checking of a company website a must for those looking to get the inside track.  Pay specific attention to any submission requirements and be sure to supply all necessary information to both show off your ability to follow directions and to avoid your resume being fast-tracked to the “circular filing bin.” Link Up on LinkedIn Since its inception, LinkedIn has cemented itself as the premier networking site for professionals and career-minded individuals.  With fewer cat memes and a larger amount of employment-minded guidance, LinkedIn is an ideal place to get the scoop on job opportunities that may fit your bill.  Follow the company or companies you’re interested in joining and feel free to “connect” with individuals that share common connections.  To avoid coming off as “stalker-ish” try not to send invites “cold” without any kind of common connections or interests.  Don’t forget to check out different industry or discussion groups that may allow you to interact with other professionals in your field.

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and More While social media used to be a way for your grandma to check in on your comings or goings in the inevitable event you forgot to call, the modern world of social media is very different.  Today’s biggest companies communicate with customers, suppliers and potential employees via their social media platforms.  Whether a “Tweet” regarding new open positions or a post inviting applications, be on the lookout for opportunities via an organizations public communications channels.  If you do happen to score an interview, these sites are also goldmines for insight into company culture, initiatives, history and other tidbits that can help you turn a job opportunity into a job offer. Newsletters and Publications On the topic of going straight to the source, digital newsletters, articles and other publications are still alive and kicking and are often viable methods for getting the lowdown on potential job prospects at your favorite company.  Subscribe to an employer’s digital mailing list for a daily dose of news delivered straight to your phone or computer.  For the more internet savvy among you, setting up an alert using your preferred web browser or search engine is also convenient and useful for being the first to hear about potential hiring opportunities.   Job Boards Not being ones to toot our own horn, we’ve certainly saved the best and most efficient for last when it comes to strategies for finding out if your favorite potential employer is hiring.  Sites such as Simply Hired offer the ability to search for all openings from your favorite employer.  Also, search tools allow you to narrow offerings to a specific region, job title and more.  Set up alerts on a daily or weekly basis to deliver results of your saved search direct to your inbox for additional on-the-go access.   Whatever your preferred method, technological advances and the ability to communicate quickly and efficiently have made discovering whether a company is hiring in your field easier than ever.  Remember to remain vigilant and persistent and keep an updated resume at the ready to take advantage of opportunities on the fly.

Want to sound smarter Master these 7 grammar tips

Want to sound smarter Master these 7 grammar tips Want to sound smarter Master these 7 grammar tips As the executive editor of Avenue Magazine, a luxury lifestyle publication based in New York City, I see the importance of proper grammar every day. But you don’t have to work in publishing to realize the necessity of good writing. Misplaced commas, an incorrect spelling, or a missing hyphen can change the meaning of a sentence.Language rules exist for clarity. A classic example is the sentence “Let’s eat mom,” which reads much differently from “Let’s eat, mom.” In the first, the writer is having her mom for dinner. In the second, she is urging her mom to eat with her.Don’t get caught up in an email chain of miscommunication. Read on for seven tips on how to improve your English expertise.1. Read frequentlyWriting well can become second nature to those who also read well. Pay attention to how authors structure their sentences and how they use commas and sentence length to adjust tone and cadence. Reading can help to increase vocabulary. If you don’t know where to be gin, ask colleagues for reading suggestions specific to your field, or browse best-selling book lists (here’s a great list of business books).Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!To write well, you must also understand the basics of the English language - how sentences are composed, the different parts of speech, subject/verb agreement, tense, and punctuation. Pick up a copy of Stephen King’s “On Writing” for a fresh take on writing rules.2. Memorize homophonesThere’s no way around it - many rules in the English language require memorization. Among the most frequently committed grammatical errors are misused homophones, which are words that sound the same but have different meanings.“You’re/your,” “there/their/they’re,” “its/it’s,” and “then/than” are all commonly confused. An easy tool to help with contractions is to remember that they are der ived from two words. “You’re” is “you are”; “they’re” is “they are”; and “it’s” is “it is.” “Then” is used to indicate time, whereas “than” is used as a comparison.3. Learn first-person singular pronounsSentences often call for choosing the correct first-person singular pronoun - either “I” or “me.” Remember that “I” is a subject pronoun, whereas “me” is an object pronoun. A helpful way to determine word choice is to remove any other subjects.For example, consider the sentence “My roommate and I/me went to the store.” If you think about the sentence as “I went to the store” or “Me went to the store,” it’s more obvious that “I” is correct.”I” is the subject of the verb “to be.”4. Learn how to use commasAs a very broad rule of thumb, commas are used to indicate pauses in a sentence. They should not be used in place of a period. For example, “We went to the baseball field, it was fun” is incorrect.But “We went to the baseball field, and it was fun” is correct, as commas can be used to separate two independent clauses when joined by coordinating conjunctions like “and,” “or,” or “but.” Commas are also used to separate three or more phrases in a series, after an introductory clause or phrase, and to set off nonessential clauses or phrases.5. Beware the dangling modifierA dangling modifier is a word or phrase that doesn’t have a clear subject. “After reviewing your notes, the conclusion remains elusive” contains a dangling modifier. Who is reviewing the notes? The sentence should be rewritten to say, “After reviewing your notes, I am unable to come to a conclusion.”6. Stay activeAll sentences are identified as being either active or passive. In an active sentence, the subject performs the action. “The girl ate the salad” is an active sentence.In a passive sentence, the subject of the sentence is also the subject of the action. “The salad was eaten by the girl” is a passive sentence. Though both are grammatically correct, passive sentence structures often lead to more errors, including dangling modifiers, misplaced commas, and run-on sentences. Sticking to the active voice will help ensure clarity.7. Proofread and read your piece out loudA common cause of poor writing is time, as writers often power through emails and memos, giving a document a cursory glance before sending it to colleagues or clients. Step away from your piece before you submit it, and give it a thorough proofread.Reading your writing in a new form - for example, on paper instead of on a screen; in a different font; or out loud - can be helpful in finding typos or grammatical errors.Speaking aloud will also help you to catch redundancies - phrases like 3 a.m. in the morning and $2 million dollars are redundant because a.m. indicates morning, and the word dollars is a repetition of the dollar sign.This article first appeared on Business Insider. Want to sound smarter Master these 7 grammar tips As the executive editor of Avenue Magazine, a luxury lifestyle publication based in New York City, I see the importance of proper grammar every day. But you don’t have to work in publishing to realize the necessity of good writing. Misplaced commas, an incorrect spelling, or a missing hyphen can change the meaning of a sentence.Language rules exist for clarity. A classic example is the sentence “Let’s eat mom,” which reads much differently from “Let’s eat, mom.” In the first, the writer is having her mom for dinner. In the second, she is urging her mom to eat with her.Don’t get caught up in an email chain of miscommunication. Read on for seven tips on how to improve your English expertise.1. Read frequentlyWriting well can become second nature to those who also read well. Pay attention to how authors structure their sentences and how they use commas and sentence length to adjust tone and cadence. Reading can help to increase vocabulary. If you don’t know where to be gin, ask colleagues for reading suggestions specific to your field, or browse best-selling book lists (here’s a great list of business books).Ladders is now on SmartNews!Download the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.To write well, you must also understand the basics of the English language - how sentences are composed, the different parts of speech, subject/verb agreement, tense, and punctuation. Pick up a copy of Stephen King’s “On Writing” for a fresh take on writing rules.2. Memorize homophonesThere’s no way around it - many rules in the English language require memorization. Among the most frequently committed grammatical errors are misused homophones, which are words that sound the same but have different meanings.“You’re/your,” “there/their/they’re,” “its/it’s,” and “then/than” are all commonly confused. An easy tool to help with contractions is to remember that they are derive d from two words. “You’re” is “you are”; “they’re” is “they are”; and “it’s” is “it is.” “Then” is used to indicate time, whereas “than” is used as a comparison.3. Learn first-person singular pronounsSentences often call for choosing the correct first-person singular pronoun - either “I” or “me.” Remember that “I” is a subject pronoun, whereas “me” is an object pronoun. A helpful way to determine word choice is to remove any other subjects.For example, consider the sentence “My roommate and I/me went to the store.” If you think about the sentence as “I went to the store” or “Me went to the store,” it’s more obvious that “I” is correct.”I” is the subject of the verb “to be.”4. Learn how to use commasAs a very broad rule of thumb, commas are used to indicate pauses in a sentence. They should not be used in place of a period. For example, “We went to the baseball field, it was fun” is incorrect.But “ We went to the baseball field, and it was fun” is correct, as commas can be used to separate two independent clauses when joined by coordinating conjunctions like “and,” “or,” or “but.” Commas are also used to separate three or more phrases in a series, after an introductory clause or phrase, and to set off nonessential clauses or phrases.5. Beware the dangling modifierA dangling modifier is a word or phrase that doesn’t have a clear subject. “After reviewing your notes, the conclusion remains elusive” contains a dangling modifier. Who is reviewing the notes? The sentence should be rewritten to say, “After reviewing your notes, I am unable to come to a conclusion.”6. Stay activeAll sentences are identified as being either active or passive. In an active sentence, the subject performs the action. “The girl ate the salad” is an active sentence.In a passive sentence, the subject of the sentence is also the subject of the action. “The salad was eaten by the girl” is a passive sentence. Though both are grammatically correct, passive sentence structures often lead to more errors, including dangling modifiers, misplaced commas, and run-on sentences. Sticking to the active voice will help ensure clarity.7. Proofread and read your piece out loudA common cause of poor writing is time, as writers often power through emails and memos, giving a document a cursory glance before sending it to colleagues or clients. Step away from your piece before you submit it, and give it a thorough proofread.Reading your writing in a new form - for example, on paper instead of on a screen; in a different font; or out loud - can be helpful in finding typos or grammatical errors.Speaking aloud will also help you to catch redundancies - phrases like 3 a.m. in the morning and $2 million dollars are redundant because a.m. indicates morning, and the word dollars is a repetition of the dollar sign.This article first appeared on Business Insider.
