Employee Satisfaction Can Make or Break a Career @marenhogan

There has been a problem with employee dissatisfaction for a while now and while some companies are working towards a solution others are falling behind. Right Management conducted a survey in which they gathered responses from 411 workers in the US and Canada. The survey found that a mere 19% were satisfied with their jobs and another 16% said they were “somewhat satisfied”. The rest were either “somewhat unsatisfied” or “completely unsatisfied.” So what can you and your organization do you start changing the way your employees feel about coming to work.

Let’s Talk CTAs in Your Recruiting Process @grjobinterview

Additionally, any videos should be accompanied by, “Click here to see…” Even though it is obvious that it is a video, and clicking on it will start the play, we have learned that simply adding a CTA will increase the likelihood of the requested action being taken.
