A Booster Shot from HRBOOST® (Jan 2019): Practical Ways to Stop Bullying in the Workplace
Happy New Year!
We welcomed 2019 by taking calls from CEOs that needed strategic HR advisement from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve. My meetings as of late confirm employers are realizing the talent emergency is real. There is no time like now to hire right the first time and truly see talent in nearly every person willing to work.
I can’t but help think it is time to care about the workforce enough to invest in it and while some people think HR is "fluff," I am here to tell you, it is the "hard stuff." It takes shared leadership and a strong commitment to care to build an environment where collaboration and innovation exist.
In the coming month, I will deliver a Webinar focused on actionable information using a tool we know reveals talent’s hard wired strengths and abilities. Hard wired traits don’t change.
It is a person’s cognitive strength that becomes their behavior and their behavior is enacted in your business.
What if I told you I can make it visible to you and your team? You can eliminate hiring mistakes.
And most important, you can engineer your teams to have joy and purpose through their strengths. It is not magic, it is facts that support decisions about people. People that matter.
Blessings Abound,
Nicole

Nicole Martin: Do You Dread Performance Management? Then Manage Achievement!

It is, in fact, the process whereby managers are asked to review an individual’s contribution against stated goals and objectives. Often, this undertaking is delayed in business and has been used historically to rank individuals within a department or begin the process of documenting performance improvement or failure, rather than performance achievement.
