Joke of the Week:

In the Spring.

Safety:

Be Well

Achieving a work-life balance can be a challenge, and it’s easy to forget a simple necessity: Take care of yourself. According to research from NIOSH, more than 20 percent of workers don’t get enough physical activity or are short on sleep. Commit to making your health and wellness a priority. Some tips:

  • Stay as active as you can. Instead of using the elevator, take the stairs. Got 20 minutes to spare before a meeting? Go for a walk.
  • Get up out of your chair and move around if your job requires you to sit for long periods of time.
  • Make sure you’re sleeping at least seven hours a night. Not getting enough sleep regularly – or chronic sleep deprivation – has been linked to depression, obesity, heart disease and other illnesses.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water.

HR Best Practice:

Engagement and Open Communication

Engagement and communication begins as soon as a new job opening comes up. Ongoing engagement between members of the hiring team is the key to success. Employee engagement is essential from onboarding to exit interviews. Open and transparent communication encourages innovation, collaboration and the sharing of ideas and experiences. Also, exit interviews are a hive of information if they’re appropriately conducted.

Why it works:

People who feel secure about voicing their opinions bring an element of diversity and are a source of untapped information. This can lead to the resolution of internal problems, and can also expose fresh ideas that add value to the business.
