As much as we try to be diligent and careful and do our jobs flawlessly, sometimes people make mistakes. Unfortunately, that includes your employees. If an employee comes to you and admits they’ve made a mistake, or you find an error in their work, remember it’s not the end of the world. It’s a learning […]
Maybe you’re new to the working world and don’t know what you want to do yet. Maybe you’ve just had a big change in your life circumstances and are looking to re-enter the workforce after some time away. Or maybe you’re just feeling a little overwhelmed and burned out from the past few years. Have […]
You’re getting ready to start a new job and, to be honest, it feels a little like the first day of school all over again. You might be a little nervous about how the day is going to go: Where are the bathrooms? When will you have lunch and where do you eat? And will […]
Your working day might be longer than the typical eight hours, but there just doesn’t seem to be enough time to accomplish everything — especially when you need to hire a new employee. That entails posting the job description, going through resumes, scheduling and conducting interviews, calling references, all of which are time-consuming and add […]

The idea of the eight-hour workday is a bit of a misnomer. We shouldn’t work for eight hours straight because our brains need breaks! Our eyes get tired staring at screens; our legs get tired standing for hours on end; our minds need to stop working so hard, every so often, in order to be […]
Bringing on a new employee is an exciting time! There’s so much for them to learn, so many people to meet and so much paperwork to fill out. It’s also exciting for the team as they welcome a new member and prepare for a new chapter. But onboarding can be overwhelming: we can only learn […]
We live in stressful times and there are new demands placed on us, from work and home, all the time. It can be hard to find the wherewithal to cope, to make it through each day, to know which priorities are the biggest ones right now. It’s going to be ok. Take a deep breath […]
A “one-size-fits-all” approach never works well. That’s especially true when your workforce has 20-somethings working alongside 60-somethings on the same team.
