Free Headcount for You HR Dept. Courtesy of the DoD!
Exiting members of the military are enrolling in a Department of Defense (DoD) program that allows them to work at no cost in specific fields in local businesses while the DoD pays their salary. There are quite a few interested in human resources here in Metro Phoenix. It's an opportunity for the veteran to gain practical experience so they are more attractive to employers when they leave the military.
Free headcount--who doesn't love that?! You'll have the vet for about 90 days with no obligation to hire them. It is a full-time, 90-ish day, paid "internship" where the DoD pays the "intern's" salary--pretty slick! You know the traits of these vets: detail oriented, passionate, committed, compliant, adaptable, loyal...
If you would be interested in having an exiting work at no cost in your HR department for about 90 days, send me a private message and I'll connect you with the agency coordinating this program (called "SkillBridge"). Enjoy!

While presenting at a conference, the crowd asked about how Blockchain is impacting HR. Here's a quick overview. Get ready!

While presenting at a conference I was asked if blockchain is relevant to HR. Absolutely, yes! Blockchain is more than cryptocurrencies and it has already made its debut into HR. The technology is being programmed into ATS and HRIS systems with an anticipated launch of mid-2019–1 year away. Blockc...

Truly honored to be speaking at the Starbucks Veterans Day event in Phoenix, AZ. What a privilege to address a crowd of vets! PsychArmor produced this awesome video discussing employing veterans. A great overview of the not-so-obvious issues employers and vets face.

This is "15 Things Veterans Want You to Know - EXTERNAL" by Josh Berkstresser on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

I keep hearing HR execs talk about their home remodel. They say the same thing, "We spend so much time in the house, I want my family to be comfortable." This is a great reminder--you spend even more time in your career! Consider remodeling your professional life while you're planning the home remodel! https://www.finepointhr.com/hr-consulting/remodeling-house-dont-forget-remodeling-career

There’s no shortage of people renovating their houses. Summer is apparently the season when HR executives decide to give the house a face-lift. I hear reasons like, “We spend so much time in the kitchen, I want my family to be comfortable,” and so on. That makes sense, but when was the last time…

I rarely get sappy, and never in social media. That said, consider this: two employees in an incredibly warm environment, tired, and they can barely see and hear what's around them. However, they instantly recognize a guest's (customer's) needs and deliver an incredible experience, particularly for on-lookers. Disney delivers this standard countless times each day and with a relatively low-paid workforce, but how can you get your employees to recognize opportunities like this and deliver amazing results? Minnie and Mickey did a great job protecting the Brand today! Great leadership, a clearly defined and inspiring vision, and outstanding HR (recruiting, selection, training...)! http://www.liftable.com/bridget-demouy/mom-films-son-w-mickey-minnie-clip-goes-viral-see-minnies-hand/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=janbrewer&utm_content=2017-06-09&utm_campaign=can

Portions of Prop. 206 are in effect already. The rest is right around the corner. It's being called one of the most complicated laws of its type in the country. Here's a great summary of what your business needs to do to comply. https://www.finepointhr.com/wage-and-hour/az-prop-206-ready-not

Arizona Prop. 206 (Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act) is now in effect and is described as one of the most complicated mandatory leave laws in the country.

Great article on navigating passive candidates through a traditional interview process. See how to prep the hiring manager to improve the chances of a successful interview. https://www.finepointhr.com/uncategorized/getting-passive-candidates-hiring-process-full-employment-market

The latest round of unemployment numbers are out and we’re now at full employment–4.6% nationally (see an interactive chart here). While that’s great news, that makes life harder on recruiters who now need to source passive candidates and coach hiring managers on overlooking the typical passive can...
