    Using Human Resources as Your Resource

    Bob Bessette 29th December Office Life Leave a Comment

      There is one department in every company that is there for you, the employee. This department’s mission is to lead the charge when it comes to fostering communication and morale among employees within a company. The department I speak of is Human Resources.

      We also know that the Human Resources department typically plays a large role when it comes to hiring new employees and they are also there when employees are dismissed from a company. These days the job of assisting employees who have been laid off by counseling them on Cobra benefits and retraining opportunities may obviously occupy some of their time.

      But due to hiring freezes by many companies, including mine, Human Resources personnel may have some more time on their hands to assist existing employees. At this time, it may make sense to take advantage of the opportunity to use this department as a resource.

      Office Campaigns and Crusades

One person even suggested contacting a union representative, but that really only works in the 1950s or in France (which amounts to the same thing).

        Because this is such an important issue for the people it affects, I think it deserves a little more discussion. Click Here to Read Article …

        Gaining Office Allies in the Right Places

        Joseph Lewis 18th November Career 7 Comments

          When you first start at a new job, the one person you are probably most concerned with is your new boss. You want this person to like you, to help you, to defend you, to overlook your mistakes, and to applaud your successes. And this makes sense because your boss is always around and has the most control over your immediate future.

          But while managing that very important relationship, it is equally important to pay attention to certain other people in your office as well. These other people can carry you to success or bury you before you even get started.
