Greetings!
Welcome to June! So much for the lazy days of summer! The weather in Victoria, BC, Canada isn't really cooperating for that! One thing that is heating up however is the labour market! Lots of job opportunities out there and lots of businesses looking to increase their staffing levels. This is keeping Engaged HR busy which is great!
Summer is also a great time to get staff out of the office and interacting in a different way. Company picnics, Wednesday bbq lunches in the parking lot, and encouraging staff get a jump on their weekend by closing at 2 pm on Friday are all ways to inject some positive energy into your workplace after a hard working winter. I feel a blog post coming on with more great ideas!
Regardless of where you are in the world, thanks for being a subscriber, enjoy your week and be in touch anytime!

Building Your Brand
Lots of businesses have spent a great deal of time and money on their company websites. The goal is to drive customers to your website from a variety of places to show them what you offer and to express to them how great you are as a company. One area that is often forgotten, or perhaps put to the bottom of the pile, is the Careers page on your website. Many websites don't have one because they feel that they don't often have jobs to post so what is the point. Well, the point is, this is an excellent place for you to promote yourself as a great place to work! And why would you want to do that you ask? Here are 5 good reasons to have a great Careers page on your website! Keep Reading!
