Why are my employees freelancing?

No comments

It is a valid question, why would anyone leave the security and benefits of a steady job, to risk fluctuating payment and an unknown future?

Internet has given us a shortcut to everything around us, we could communicate with people across the world, and work with people miles and miles away without being in the same room.

The tale of change: Who moved my cheese?

No comments

It was a long train ride, where I had packed almost ten books; just in case there is a slight chance I would want to read; even though I hadn’t read in a few weeks, but I didn’t want to take any chances. On that day, I decided to give a self-help book a try “who moved my cheese? By Spencer Johnson”

Those self-help books always seemed like a great excuse, I read a book, and my flaws and pitfalls are magically fixed.

How to keep your employees? (IT ISN’T WHAT YOU THINK!)

No comments

In my previous article about employer branding, I promised that I will talk about a great part of branding, which is employee retention, how an organization keeps its employees.

Whenever I hear the word retention, I think of fishermen standing at the edge of their boat, and throwing a net to catch fish; water surely won’t remain, even if the net becomes wet, secondly small fish may momentarily get caught between the threads, but will eventually fall out, then there are the big fish who will have a hard time wiggling out, and finally huge fish pulling the net and the boat towards the direction they please.

To 9-to-5, or to not

No comments

 

I’ve hated the concept of 9-to-5 since childhood, maybe, because of the way I’ve seen it portrayed in the media; the world of blazers and normalcy.

I can’t do well with normal

To me, it defied the adventures I dreamed of, the spontaneity and the sparks of creativity that jumped around in my head.

Clark Kent is just a regular journalist, until he rips open his shirt, then suddenly he is Superman; this incredible SUPERHERO who saves the world; Clark Kent clocks in and out of work, Superman isn’t controlled by time, he is there when someone needs him.

There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals. –Idowu Koyenikan

 

I had started my Careery interview as a candidate for a job that I am experienced in, it was going great; I know the tricks and traps, and I have enough information to keep me from looking like a fool.

Then suddenly, the conversation took a turn; we were talking about all different types of fields, ones that I didn’t really have experience in.
