Interview Question of the Week

Q: What are your expectations and goals for this position?

 

Commentary: While this question seems fairly reasonable to ask, the responses you may secure could be all over the place. Specifically you could hear about compensation, about respect, about growth, about contributions. All in all the order of what is presented in response is key as it may demonstrate priorities. A candidate that leads by telling you they expect a raise in a year and good benefits has a different view than say the candidate that says they expect to be challenged and that if they meet the challenge to have a chance to move up. Only you can determine what are the right or wrong answers here.  

HR Best Practices Tip

Talent Retention

 

As the job market continues to heat up it becomes all the more critical that businesses focus their attention on keeping their talent. Aside from simply paying $1 more than the next company you need to look at work- life balance, flexibility in scheduling, training and development, and ancillary benefits as means to keep the employees you presently possess from leaving. These are a few examples of areas a company can explore and address that cost little money but go a long way towards retaining talent.

 

Reader Question

 Q:  How often do I need to update our labor law poster / order a new one?

 

 A: Labor Law Posters cover federal and state required postings and from time to time change in content. These changes are driven specifically by new laws and guidelines. Each time the law changes you MUST update your postings / poster. Poster providers do offer annual subscriptions that result in new posters being provided each time updates occur. Further, the data on all posters is available for FREE via the Department of Labor websites for federal and state.
