On the Job by Anita Bruzzese How to Establish Trust in a Virtual Workplace

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese How to Establish Trust in a Virtual Workplace Research shows that our conscious brains can handle about 40 bits of information a second. While that may sound like quite a bit, consider the fact that ourunconsciousminds can handle 11 million bits of information per second and 10 million bits of that can be visual data. In a new book, Power Cues, author Nick Morgan explains this means, for example, that if you suddenly get a powerful gut feeling that the person sitting across from you is concealing an important feeling or piece of news, thats your unconscious mind at work. He points out that studies show that we make most of our decisions unconsciously and only become aware of them consciously after the fact, once we are already acting on that decision. The bottom line: Your unconscious mind is really in charge, he says. Thats why he says its important to understand how you communicate with others especially if youre in a leadership position and want toinfluence and persuade others. For example, many leaders dont realize that it may be difficult to establish trust with a teamin a virtual environment. People become in sync with one another when they are together, and that chore is mostly done through body language and your unconscious mind. But that is taken away when video is used, he explains. For example, lets say a boss makes a comment to a worker that is meant to be lighthearted and ironic. To convey this thought, he or she may put a hand on the employees shoulder, offering a smile. But, if this comment is made through email, then the employee may interpret that comment as much harsher. After that, all it takes is a few more comments made virtually, and then it all breaks down. You have a raging case of distrust and motivation, Morgan says. As a manager, how do you begin to untangle it all and figure out what went wrong and when? The problem with virtual relationships is that is can often only take one (read more here)

How Can Employee Advocacy Influence Recruiting

How Can Employee Advocacy Influence Recruiting What better way to promote and market your company than through your employees voice. And what better channels than through their social media accounts. Obviously this only works in the organisations favour if the content thats being shared shines a glowing light on them but its something companies are doing more of. But just how much of an influence does employee advocacy have on recruitment? Our panel of 10 recruiting experts share their views Leela Srinivasan Employee advocacy can massively influence candidates’ awareness of your organization and interest in working for you. In Lever’s case, we’ve also found advocacy to positively impact the diversity of our workforce. Aided by a series of employee-written blog posts shared on our ‘Inside Lever’ blog as well as across LinkedIn and Medium, we saw our gender ratio improve to 50:50 men and women; meanwhile, 40% of our team is non-white. Both candidates and employees routinely cite their interactions with Leveroos, both digitally and in-person at events, as a factor in deciding to apply for and work at Lever. Leela Srinivasan, Chief Marketing Officer at Lever Erin Wilson As they say in marketing, it’s not what you tell your customers it’s what your customers tell other customers. This is no different. When your employees love where they work and share that experience openly and authentically it shows. The feeling is contagious. When someone has been influenced by a current employee and feels the advocacy is coming from a place other than the talent team, whose job is to advocate, it brings an unparalleled level of transparency and collaboration to the conversation. Erin Wilson  is Founder and Talent Engineer at Hirepool.io Amy Volas It gives the recruiting function a much stronger foundation to work from, increases referrals and illustrates what a fantastic company you’re representing to intrigue people to want to learn more or tell their friends and family about how great of place your company is.   Working from silos has been proven to not be effective and the ability to point to a positive employee experience, the chance to thrive and grow, strong leadership and all of the other benefits of employee advocacy make a tremendous recruiting difference. Amy Volas is  Chieftain of Avenue Talent Partners Lars Schmidt Word of mouth is huge. Anything a recruiter says is going to be received with a perception of bias from candidates. Employees will have much less of that perceived slant, so if you find ways to effectively empower employees to share their unfiltered experience that can have a huge affect on recruiting. Lars Schmidt  is the Founder of Amplify Chad MacRae You have fans, and when something good happens they tell people. Then, some of those people that hear about it want to work for you. Chad MacRae is the Founder of Recruiting Social  Stacy Zapar Our people are our greatest resource. They are our best storytellers for evangelizing the company, culture, values, work being done, etc. They are the most authentic voice of our employer brand. They also know people who have the right skills and will be successful at our company. Encourage and drive referrals through creative campaigns. Great companies have engaged employees who are natural advocates. Give them a platform and a voice and youll see the benefits!? Stacy is the Founder of Tenfold The Talent Agency John Feldmann If nurtured by management, employee advocacy can have an invaluable impact on a company’s recruiting efforts. Good employees know good employees, and employee referrals rank first in job performance and ROI. Therefore, turning top employees into brand ambassadors who will raise awareness for the company brand through social media and content generation will attract top talent to open positions, and convey employee satisfaction and a positive work culture. John Feldmann  is a writer for Insperity Recruiting Services Maren Hogan Think about how you shop online. You probably surf the review section to get real insights on the product you’re interested in, right? Having employee advocates on your side is akin to having killer reviews on your company (hopefully). Not only do candidates have access to tools like Glassdoor and Indeed to see what past or current employees are saying about the company, they also have social media to see the “day in the life of” angle. Encourage your employees to contribute social media reviews to give candidates a raw insight on the company. Maren Hogan is CEO and Founder of Red Branch Media Craig Fisher Employee advocacy can have a great effect on recruiting if done properly.   Most employers make the mistake of asking their employees to advocate, then either giving them no direction or suggestions of content, or feeding them only company-centric content and jobs to post.   If employees only ever post content by and about their organization on places like Linkedin and Twitter, it seems contrived and job seekers will see through it.   Better to encourage employees to share personal and work stories from their own point of view and to give them some great 3rd-party content from trusted publications to share with their networks to build trust and grow. Craig Fisher is  Head of Employer Brand, CA Technologies, and Allegis Global Solutions Will Staney Employee advocacy is one of the most influential ways to boost a company’s recruiting game. Take a look at referrals. They’re #1 in almost every recruiting metric across the board. When employees speak out in favor of a company you’ll see friends, friends of friends, and others start to take notice of the company. When a friend tells another friend how awesome it is to work for a company, that friend wants to work there and so on and so forth. Will is the  Founder Principal Consultant at Proactive Talent Strategies More on this topic at  Employee Advocacy: The Ultimate Handbook.

11 Reasons You Wont Get Hired at a Career Fair - CareerAlley

11 Reasons You Wont Get Hired at a Career Fair - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. Job fairs can be overwhelming. All of your competition in one room, everyone trying to be at their best and potential employers have their pick of the lot. That being said, there are many people who just dont get it (or the job). There are many reasons why you may not get the job, make sure that one of the reasons listed below is not one of them. Suggested Reading:Mastering A Career Fair: A Simple and Direct Guide For Landing Your First Job Out of College If you dont want to be hired by attending a career fair: Bring your child/children or younger sibling (no matter how young, old, cute, well behaved, calm, mature, etc.). No one, not the children, you, other attendees, or employers will benefit. Bring your dog Everyone can hear it barking from the car in the parking lot, including you! Its never a good idea to leave your dog alone in the car anyway. Bring your mother she can hold your place in line and tell the hiring managers why you are the best (arent you?). Bring your smartphone, keep the ringer on and check your text messages while speaking with one of the hiring managers. Ask about the benefits and raises. Everyone wants them this can be discussed closer to the job offer. For women, wear knee-high stockings with a skirt, even a long one the split is above the stocking line and clearly visible from behind, in case you wondered. For men, wear a dress shirt with the buttons open to mid-chest, no undershirt and let your chest hairs show. Or better yet, wear a tee-shirt underneath with the name of your favorite rock band showing. Tell a recruiter/potential employer that you dont want to waste a resume on them bring enough to waste on every employer there and then some (you dont know from where your next job offer will come yet). Wear jeans, shorts, a t-shirt, muscle shirt or ill-fitting, or bad looking clothing (ask someone whose opinion you care about how you look they will tell you). Wear the pink sunglasses to match with your capris that have a large embroidered pink flower on the leg. This is good advice on any day. Wear perfume or smoke what smells like an entire pack of cigarettes before attending. Many people are allergic to perfumes and no one likes the smell of stale cigarette smoke.
