It’s review time and you need to give your employees meaningful feedback on what they’ve done this year, but for the life of you, you can’t think of what to say. You know they’ve made some great accomplishments and you know you’ve been thinking to yourself that there are areas where you wish your department were stronger, but when the time comes to write it all down your mind goes blank.

Does your company recognize its top performers?

Are you always stressing? Trying to get work done, but it seems like there’s too much to do and very little time to do it in?

When bringing a new hire into your company, it’s important to introduce them to your organization’s culture, values, processes, and goals. There are many tools to help you to do this which makes finding the right balance between technology and in-personal interactions all the more important. We like to think that because we have the technology available that means we should use it. It makes our life easier and allows us to save time. But what we tend to ignore is that it eliminates the in-person interactions and they are some of the most important things when it comes to running a successful business. This is especially true when working with a new hire. The first couple of weeks at a new job can make or break the experience. As a manager, it is your job to make sure each new hire is integrated smoothly into the company. That means making sure they feel like a part of the team and are making connections with their co-workers.

As an employee gains responsibility, they will have to make more and more decisions by themselves. Some decisions may concern more trivial matters, while others may have more of an impact on your organization. Either way it is crucial that those in power have the ability to evaluate a problem and arrive at a sound, confident decision.
