Happy Spring Time!

Creating Great Places To Work!
Happy Springtime!
I always enjoy spring time when I can dust off my 1972 MGB and take a spin. It seems like I either get bigger or my car gets smaller. Anyway if you are ever in Chapel Hill, I will be glad to take you for a ride. I am not bragging, but I am a "High D." We "D's" like the color red and things that go fast.

What Are You Focusing On In Your Employees?
The credentials that an employee holds are not always as important as the skills that they possess. Not everyone withholds a long list of credentials that they have acquired. That simply may mean that they haven’t been presented with the same opportunities as someone else. People are capable of having amazing skills and abilities without the credentials to prove it.

How To See Past Credentials
When you are interviewing potential employees, you need to see past the list of accomplishments in front of you. Think about the job required to be filled and the skills needed to do it. Instead of listing credentials that are necessary to do the job, list the required skills.

You can find talent and skills in all kinds of people who may not be in the fieldwork you are advertising for. If you need someone who is focused on precise details for the technology world, it doesn’t mean that it has to be an individual trained in technology. Attention to detail can be found in someone new to this type of position.

Look Inside Your Company First
If you have a new position open, you may have someone within your company suited for the job. The training and schooling that you have may only be a part of the skills you possess. The employees you already have may greatly appreciate the ability to advance within the company or be promoted to a higher position.

Make Training Opportunities Available
Over the past year and a half, the internet has become more and more a part of the business world. It has had its place in many areas for many years, but it has been a lot more prevalent with social distancing. This means that there is more need than ever for people to be able to navigate technology well.

An opportunity for many employees is to have training on technology. That way, you can improve the capabilities of the employees that you already possess. You do not always have to hire someone with more experience or credentials to show you. The people you have right in front of you may have the skills you are looking for; they just need a little encouragement.

Put Your Focus On Skills
The abilities that your employees have are important. This article isn’t to say credentials are not important, because they are. Don’t put all of your focus on just that. Look past them and into the skills that employees have. You may be pleasantly surprised.

1000 ONLINE TRAINING COURSES
We have recently opened an outstanding list of online courses with affordable pricing for almost every job category.


Is Remote Work Life Here To Stay?
Covid-19 changed a variety of things that go on within a company from the hiring, working, and development opportunities. With remote working being on the rise, companies need to be creative with the offered programs. The more opportunities you have for your employees to take advantage of, the better off you will be. Also being able to provide them with access to remote employees will help everyone.

Why Offering Development Opportunities Can Benefit
Businesses can greatly benefit from offering development opportunities to their employees. People will see it as an advantage and a chance that they can’t pass up. Some ways to see a change in your company by offering these opportunities are explained below.

It Can Improve Employee Retention and Loyalty
When you take the time, and the effort, to train your employees properly, they will be more loyal to your company. They will see the value in what you have provided them with. You will notice a positive impact on the retention your business has with employees. The least amount of turn-over that you have the better it is for your business.

Drive Employees To Be More Productive and Perform Effectively
Employees who are equipped with the proper training and knowledge to perform their job can be more productive. When you are thrown into an uncertain situation, it is more challenging to do your job effectively. If your employees have confidence and training about their role in the company, they will feel more comfortable and be more productive.

A Positive Competitive Opportunity To Offer Potential Employees
The opportunities that a company offers to an employee can change the decision that they make. If they are narrowing their choices down to two companies, and you offer more perks, they will go with your company. Competitive marking can help you in the corporate world.

Development Training Is A Great Aspect
Employees want to thrive and succeed in their job. When they feel they are not adequately performing they that they should, it is discouraging. In the corporate world, it is important to do your job well and efficiently.

On-going training opportunities can help build and mold your employees into the leaders they need to be. Sometimes, the skills that someone possesses need a little bit of encouragement to bring them out. As a business, it is great to be able to offer your employees what they need to be the best that they can be.

How Critical Thinking Can Improve Leadership Skills
Do you have good leadership skills? Are you a critical thinker? When it comes to being a good leader, critical thinking can improve your skills. In the business world, there are many aspects that will continue to evolve and change. You have to be a critical thinker in order to cope with the changes and continue to keep proceeding. Let’s talk about how critical thinking is so important when you are in a leadership position.

What Happens When You Have Bad Leadership Skills?
Lousy leadership skills will cause many aspects of your business to fall apart. If you are unable to lead your team in the right direction successfully, it will not flourish. The decision that you make as a leader will make or break a business. That is why it is so important to obtain the skills to be a good critical thinker.

How Can Good Leadership Skills Benefit Your Business?
If the person in charge of a team of employees has good leadership skills, the business is more likely to succeed. In addition, this person can motivate their team and keep everyone on track. It is not always an easy task, but a necessary one.

The decisions that a leader needs to make can be difficult at times, but someone who can think clearly is a good leader. A good leader is thinking about the whole team’s ability and not just their own. They can analyze, solve, identify, and put into action problem-solving skills.

Critical Thinking Skills Make Good Leaders
Do you want to improve your critical thinking skills? This skill comes naturally to some, and others have to work harder to make it happen. Here are some tips on how you can improve your critical thinking skills to be a better leader.

  • Be Completely Informed Before Making A Decision
  • Make Validated Decisions
  • Break Down The Options And Make Clear Decisions
  • Make Decisions On Facts Not Assumptions
  • Use Analogies and Models For More Visual Information

If you are a critical thinker, you have the ability to think effectively and quickly. While everyone would prefer to have adequate notice and preparation to make a decision, the time isn’t always available. There are times you will be able to take plenty of time to make a decision in a leadership position, and then there are other times you need to make them more quickly.
