A recent study by Catalyst, a global non-profit organization found that empathetic leadership boosts engagement at work; 76% of employees with highly empathetic senior leaders and 67% with highly empathetic managers were found to be
No longer are companies trying to figure out how to shift their employees into a productive remote workforce. The forced transition happened quickly. Since the rapid change, both employers and employees have been assessing the results and preferred format.

Despite the changes in hiring practices and procedures over the past two years, virtual hiring isn’t new to the hiring process. Hiring managers and human resource professionals have been taking advantage of these methods for quite some time. Phone screen interviews are one example that has been used for many years.

What is the hiring process at your company? Maybe we should back up and first ask if your organization has a hiring process. And if so, is it followed?
If you have ever worked on a project (either alone or in a team) that did not have a defined process in place, most likely something at some point did not go smoothly. And it’s exactly because of mishaps like this, that
New job postings have done a near 180° turn from what happened last year. This should give all of us, regardless of industry, reason to be optimistic again. Organizations hire when they feel confident about the future and have growth plans in place.
