Flexible Work Arrangements Build Loyalty

Flexible Work Arrangements Build LoyaltyFlexible Work Arrangements Build LoyaltyFlexible Work Arrangements Build LoyaltyWith tight hiring budgets and few qualified applicants, the old approach of on-site, full-time and 9-to-5 is falling by the wayside for many companies. Employers around the country are meeting their project deadlines and need for quality by engaging employees in a wide range of non-traditional employment configurations. Some smart employers are also holding on to top talent who would otherwise resign by engaging employees with flexible arrangements. Employers who insist on conventional full-time employment are setting themselves up for long fill times and the unnecessary misery of trying to find qualified full-time people.Keep the Good OnesWhen a job opening is created, broaden your usual approach. In addition to seeking a full-time replacement, consider offering exiting employees, ex-employees and job applicants a non-traditional arrangement that meets immediate co mpany and candidate needs. For example, a manager faced with a valued employees resignation in order to return to school, care for an elderly parent or child, or because of health problems, could offer to reconfigure the job, enabling the employee to continue to work. Here are a few ideasPart-time hourly work (even one day a week)Job sharingOn a per project basisTelecommuting from home with regular online or in-rolle meetingsBy continuing a relationship with an excellent employee, the organization is more likely to avoid the hidden costs of turnover, including missed deadlines, quality issues, customer/client problems and even domino effect employee turnover. Youll likely need to hire a second person to take over the balance of responsibilities, but it is easier to find such candidates today than it was just five or 10 years ago.Fill in the GapsEx-employees and potential hires may be very interested in other, even more creative ways to be associated with your organization. Right Man agement, an international human resources consulting firm with more than 200 offices worldwide, requires the availability of a small army of trained consultants who are engaged as needed to assist corporate clients undergoing large downsizings. Some individuals use their vacations days to work for RMC.Whether for sporadic needs or ongoing requirements, many employers cultivate hiring opportunities withEx-employees or others working for non-competing businessesConsultants who are available as neededStay-at-home momsDownsized individuals at all levelsAdult studentsRetired professionalsThese candidates tend to know others with similar work preferences and skills, and can be terrific employee referral sources. Employers intent on achieving goals within budget and time parameters are using this emerging strategy. They are also listening to the needs of talented individuals who seek alternative work arrangements by matching them to the work that needs to be accomplished. Employees hired a nd developed creatively reward employers with loyalty.

13 Tricks Advertisers Use to Get You to Spend Your Money

13 Tricks Advertisers Use to Get You to Spend Your Money13 Tricks Advertisers Use to Get You to Spend Your MoneyThe craft of advertising itself is hundreds of years old, but it has evolved into a science in the last 50 or 60 years, with creativity and methodology working together to sell you hard. The following 13 strategies used by advertisers have had great success in selling products and services for a couple of generations, and continue to be used most often. Scare Tactics The message here is that bad things might happen to you if you dont have this product or service. This is most often used to sell products related to security, personal safety, or health. But fear can creep into advertising for many other products and services. For instance, the fear of missing out (or FOMO) is increasingly used to persuade consumers. In an age when information and entertainment are ubiquitous, how do you make sure you see everything youre supposed to see? Thats why you need this phone, thi s app, or this TV package. The Promise of Happiness The promise of happiness never loses its power. From cars and jewelry to dating services and electronic gadgets, the basic message never changes Buy this product or service and youll be filled with joy. The promised happiness is real but fleeting. Pretty soon, youre looking for a new thing to bring back that feeling of elation. This is sometimes called retail therapy. Status Anxiety Otherwise known as keeping up with the Joneses. You may love your three-year-old Honda, but a top-of-the-line BMW will make your neighbors green with envy. Use of this strategy has, if anything, increased in recent years with the proliferation of new-and-improved gadgets. That is why many people you know have traded in their perfectly good smartphones for new models that cost far more. Limiting Availability Creating artificial scarcity is a great way to boost demand. This is why many manufacturers produce limited-edition versions of their pr oducts to tie in with current movies or TV series. A little extra branding is applied to a product that isnt at all scarce- but the variation is. Nike produces limited-edition sneakers and people pay huge sums for them in the secondary market. Becoming Your Friend One way to create brand awareness is to make a product appear to have the endorsement of your own circle of friends, or at least people like your friends. Social media campaigns have done an extraordinary job of finessing this strategy with fun videos and messages encouraging you to interact with the brand message. These marketing campaigns are, of course, mixed in with posts from your real friends. When you next buy a certain product or service, guess which brand you reach for? Positive Association Brands love to associate themselves with the positive qualities that celebrities embody. Someone is always the baddest tough guy, the model with the most gorgeous hair, or the sports star with the fastest feet. Brands t ake this positive association and attach it indelibly to their products. One of the more subtle uses of this strategy is the product placement, in which a brand is inserted neatly but leid too unobtrusively into a movie or television show. Making You Laugh Why are so many Super Bowl ads funny? Why do so many social media marketing posts make you laugh? The answer is simple. Laughter is a positive emotion, and when you link a positive association with a brand, consumers are more likely to choose it. Even insurance companies and banks use humor, and these are not products that most of us want to entrust to a comedian. But humor works. It certainly is a more effective marketing tool than a plain recitation of facts. Humanizing Things and Animals Its known as anthropomorphism, and in advertising, its a surefire way to get you to sit up and take notice. Talking animals like the Geico gecko, the Aflac duck, and Tony the Tiger are prime examples. Its unexpected, its usually humorou s, and it encourages us to connect emotionally with the brand. Variations include giving human features to inanimate objects. A prosaic thing has become cute and likable. aya you want to buy that thing. Reverse Psychology This strategy can be as obvious as Patagonias famous Dont Buy This Jacket ad, or more subtle, like the incredible Lemon ad for Volkswagen. In the latter example, they called their own car a lemon, but when you found out why, you wanted it more. This is intended to give the consumer a false sense of control and superiority. In effect, it says dont tell me what to do or think, Ill do that myself. Its a time-honored strategy for dealing with children, and it works just as well on adults. Sex Appeal Sex sells...it really does. And sexually charged imagery has been used to sell beer, cars, phones, clothing, cheeseburgers (looking at you, Carls Jr.), and even furniture. We all fall for it. Its a deeply natural response, and the fact that it usually has nothing to do with the product itself seems to have no impact whatsoever. The Emptiness Within No advertiser will tell you bluntly that your life is awful but it will be better if you buy this product. But they can suggest it, and they do. This technique often uses before-and-after images to dramatize just how much better someone like you feels after buying that new coat, watch, or car. A common variation illustrates how youll feel even worse if you make the wrong choice. Celebrity Endorsement This is a variation on the strategy of creating associations with celebrities. With platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, celebrity endorsements are bigger and subtler than ever. A makeup brand lingering in obscurity could run a multi-million dollar branding and awareness campaign. Or it could pay Kim Kardashian West $250,000 to endorse it on Instagram. That may sound like a lot, but with more than 100 million followers, she can give a brand a lot of bang for its buck. Peer Pressur e Most consumers dont care to be out there on the bleeding edge of a new product or service. There are early adopters, and then there are the masses who buy it once it has gained acceptance. This strategy attempts to persuade you that youre the only one in your peer group that doesnt own X product or service. Nobody really wants to be an outsider.

Less Common Signs You Have a Bad Manager - The Muse

Less Common Signs You Have a Bad Manager - The MuseLess Common Signs You Have a Bad Manager Its pretty obvious when you have a horrible boss. From the verbal abuse to the micromanaging to the refusal to respect your time, it doesnt take a genius to recognize when your manager is the sole cause of your misery.But sometimes, the signs arent so obvious. Especially when the person you report to is likable, perfectly pleasant, and competent. But those traits dont mean jack if, actually, your boss isnt a good boss. In fact, I hate to be the bearer of badeanstalt news but its entirely possible that what you have on your hands is a bad manager, and its high time you face it, unless you dont give a fig about your career.These five signs might surprise you, but stop for a second and think about the damage theyre causing (think stunted career and lack of advancement). While it might be nice to work under someone you get along with, thats far from the only thing you should value in this relati onship.1. They Never Offer Critical FeedbackTheres always plenty of praise. Your supervisor knows how to say thank you and lets you know youre doing good work, but they dont know how to give you constructive feedback, which can ultimately help you produce better work and grow you into a leader yourself. What to DoAsk for feedback. Say, I appreciate hearing what Im doing well, but Im always looking to improve, and so itd be useful to me if you were able to start incorporating critical feedback into our meetings so I know what to focus on.2. They Dont Recognize Your potenzialYou may be OK with the way things are going at work. You wouldnt exactly say youre coasting- you just know how to do your job really well. After all, youve been doing the same thing for the past two and a half years. Youve been given mora tasks, and you always handle them with aplomb. Dont mistake this with growth or realized potential. If its true that youve been handling the same items since you started (even if your to-do list has steadily increased), you may be stuck in a rut, your mental muscles atrophying. What to DoArticulate your desire to expand your skill set and take on more responsibility that goes beyond simply taking on more of what you already do. If your request goes unheard and nothing changes, it might be time to look for a new job, one where you can make the most of your abilities and rise through the ranks like you deserve. 3. They Have No Idea How Hard Youre WorkingYour manager sees you in the office and assumes your hours are more or less similar to theirs. The reality, however, is that youre doing a couple of hours of work each night and many more over the weekend. Your vacations are not unplugged. Nope, youre answering to clients and putting in an hour of work during your morning commute. If you did the math, youd estimate youre working about 65 hours a week. You like the work, so its not the worst thing ever, but its stressful and exhausting. What to DoAdmitting your e feeling overworked and overwhelmed isnt fun, but its necessary if, all things considered, youre happy doing what youre doing, but you just cant sustain the pace. Muse writer Jennifer Winter offers three options for broaching this tough topic.4. They Play Favorites (and Youre the Favorite)Its nice to be the teachers pet, isnt it? Who doesnt want to be appreciated by the person in charge of their paycheck? Step back though and try to put yourself in others shoes and ask yourself how it would feel to have your manager favor your co-worker and regularly snub you. Being best buddies might feel good in the moment, but its inappropriate and unprofessional, and it isnt teaching you a darn thing.What to DoSince you probably dont want to call him out for this behavior, you can try to work around it. Praise your co-workers efforts and regularly point out the kollektivwork involved in completing projects. This might as well be called advanced managing up. Your goal is not to get him to start ignoring you, but to envelop the whole team5. They Prioritize the Team Over the CompanyYour managers super territorial and cares about each and every person on their team like youre all their own children. The work your group is responsible for is the number one priority, and, as a result, they often reject cross-collaboration opportunities with other teams or refuse to modify their way of thinking and doing to better work as a whole company and not just a small part of it.What to DoThe next time you get wind of a project that would allow you to work with another department, speak up before they have a chance to pass it onto someone else. Let them know you recognize your priorities within the team but that youre also quite interested in this new initiative and think it would ultimately benefit the company if you were able to spend time on things that speak to the organizations overall mission.The good news is that most of these situations can be resolved with a frank conversation. C onsidering the nightmarish work situations out there, these arent so awful. Still, you dont want to be deceived by seemingly harmless things that could negatively impact your career. And the sooner you take action, the sooner you can get ahead.

7 Tips on Being the Right Kind of Professional at Work

7 Tips on Being the Right Kind of Professional at Work 7 Tips on Being the Right Kind of Professional at Work Article by Karin VandraissA few minutes into my morning commute, I glanced up from my book and inwardly groaned. When I should have been looking out across the water at the Seattle skyline, I was headed down an unfamiliar side street toward a neighborhood nowhere near my sekretariat.I pulled out my phone to send my babo a quick email Good morning, just wanted to let you know Ill be in a few minutes late. Bus trouble She shot back a cheery, No problem, see you soon I then sent my coworker a text with a few choice words and emojis about my inability to master public transportation.After nearly a year at my current job, I know its customary to send a note if youll be arriving significantly later than usual as a courtesy. Although my boss and I are on very friendly terms, a quick email is more appropriate than texting but I do have friends who wouldnt think twice about sending their boss a text, emojis and all, or wouldnt have sent an update in the first place because that would be considered overkill in their office.No two company cultures are quite the same, and figuring out what professional means in your office or even just on your immediate team isnt always easy.Professionalism will differ depending on your line of work as well for example, my internal emails laden with Full House gifs probably wouldnt fly at my best friends law firm.It took me a few weeks of careful observation to get the lay of the land at my new job. To do so, I had to observe everythingfrom what my new coworkers were wearing to whether they took lunch or ate at their desks. I took mental notes (more trendy jeans than traditional geschftliches miteinander casual wear same went for going out versus working through lunch). A similar mentality seemed to apply to communication style as well, which leaned toward casual rather than overly formal.I took particular note of the emails I was receiving, because today there is such a thing as being too professional. Although theres still a time and place for formalities, most people I work with have adopted a more business casual approach to communication (both in person and from behind a computer), one that makes it seem like youre actually interacting with another human being rather than a robot.But findingthat perfect combination of personable and consummate professional is a learned skill. Luckily, I happen to work with a few people who seem to have mastered the concept, and Ive picked up a few things from themThe Art of the EmailNavigating the subtle nuances of email is an art form one punctuation misstep and things can go downhill quickly. Ionce spent a full day agonizing over a five-line email, my finger hovering over send like the free world depended on my message being executed perfectly.1. Watch Your ToneAlthough you shouldnt give any email that much thought, you should think a little aboutthe tone youre g oing for inthe message and the appropriate level of formality. When first writing someone, I aim for conversational, letting my personal voice show through while retaining the basic elements of formality, like a proper greeting, punctuation, spelling, etc. Depending on the response, Ill adjust my correspondence accordingly. In my experience, matching another persons tone can often make for better communication. (But dont feel the need to sacrifice your intellectual integrity for someone intent on typingu instead of you.)2. The Period Is No Longer NeutralYou can feel the chill from across the office when someone sends you a sentence purposefully cut short with a period. Once unthreatening, this punctuation mark can now convey a healthy dose of snark, sternness, or even aggression. Take a second glance at your next message to make sure that period doesnt make you sound unintentionally menacing or uptight.3. Its Okay to Use Exclamation Points (Sparingly)Exclamation points can be effect ive ways to express enthusiasm (or give an otherwise flat email a sense of levity) if used with restraint. I try to stick to one per email, and I draw a firm line at emoticons.4. Your Sign-Off Can Say a LotA few years ago, I wouldnt have thought anything of it, but today, ending an email with Thanks can make you seem inadvertently curt. I usually use Best or All the best if Im feeling fancy. I dont see Sincerely too often anymore, except on college intern applications.But Dont Get Too ComfortableWhether its via email or face to face, there are still a few areas where you can never be too professional, no matter how its defined in your workplace. At the end of the day, yourestill at work. Being able to preserve working relationships should always be high on your priority list.5. Be TactfulEven if your office has a laid-back vibe, its pretty hard to come back from an uncomfortably flippant or politically incorrect remark. Use your filter. Whether yourein a brainstorming session or jus t chatting in the break room, youre still in a work environment. Theres a level of professional respect expected you never know what might offend another person.6. Be ConstructiveIf theres an issue, offer a solution dont just continue the negativity. It makes people uncomfortable and detracts focus from solving the problem. Avoid comments that could come off as belittling or condescending, especially in group settings.7. Keep Your CoolThrowing a temper tantrum at work will instantly mark you with a glowing neon sign above your head that reads, Cant keep it together like an adult. A temper tantrumincludes slamming drawers, stomping around, sighing loudly, and/or aggressively muttering to yourself. If you have an issue with someone or something, take a walk, count to 10, or do whatever it is you need to do to keep yourself from losing it. If you feel the need to raise the concern with a superior, collect your thoughts beforehand and head into the room with a cool head.A version of th is article originally appeared on SUCCESS.com.Karin Vandraiss is a Seattle-based writer and editor with a background in food and travel.
