A Brief History of Diversity in the Workplace

Author: Robyn Showers Source: Brazen Blog This is not so much a history as it is an our-story. Groan if you want, but it’s kind of true. The history of diversity in the workplace is by definition the story of how the concept of inclusion finally worked its way into our national narrative. When you have equality in the workforce, it creates a domino effect of change across the socioeconomic system. Long story short: the face of the American workforce has changed dramatically o

How to Spot a Great Place to Work

If you’re looking for a new job, remember it isn’t just the job description you should focus on. It’s just as important to look for an organisation which will be a good fit for you, making it a great place to work.

6 Easy Steps To Make Friends At Work

Before entering the working world, sharing the same classes or living nearby to someone was a pretty sure fire way of striking up a friendship.

The Reason So Many Executives Fail

You can’t be selfish and a good leader at the same time. What a shock I had a few weeks ago when I realized that my leadership skills may have gone downhill over the past 15 years. Recently, and quite by accident, I came across a paper that I had written for a leadership class when I was working on my MBA back in 2000. When I wrote that paper, I had just gone through a major crisis at the company I was working for. I’ll spare the details of the near-death situation, but the e

How Your Business Can Build An Employee Advocacy Program

Why companies need employee advocacy There’s obviously internal and external goals for the company regarding employee advocacy and it’s something that they probably have already done without knowing. So the term is really new but for example a lot of companies that we talked to, they’re already sending emails to their employees asking them to share, for example, open positions or if there’s some industry news. But in the end it all boils down from the company side, how can th

6 Questions to Ask Your Interviewer That Will Definitely Make Them Want To Hire You

It’s common advice among job seekers: when you’re interviewing, you need to interview the employer right back. After all, you’re the one who is potentially going to fill this position, so you need to know if it’s going to be a good fit, right? Except that while salary ranges, benefits and schedule flexibility are important details you deserve answers to, hiring managers don’t appreciate questions like these until at least your second interview (or maybe even after they’ve mad

We all wish we could get more work done in less time.

Interested In A New Career? Small Steps Can Lead To A Big Change

Whether you know what your ideal job is or not, it probably feels a really long way away right now. If you’re a Goalfinder (you’re looking for your ‘what’), you feel like you can’t take real action on your career change until you’ve figured out what you want to move into. And you’re so drained by your current job that you rarely have the headspace to give it any meaningful attention.

Is There a Better Way To Plan Your Future Than Chasing That Killer Resume?

Author: Brian McCallister Source: BrazenCareerist Your resume isn’t much different than your social media profile. While it may omit some embarrassing pictures, your resume represents a carefully curated persona. It reduces your complex virtues into shiny marketing collateral.

They represent a bunch of th
