Rock Star Employees!

Do You Focus on You're Rock Star Employees?

We are heading into a time where "employee retention" is what is going to keep us up at night. A time when the economy bounces back, baby-boomers retire, the knowledge drain is a reality, and the only thing that's going to keep us going is hanging on to our Rock Star employees. A few months ago, I attended a leadership conference with an awesome keynote address by the name of Clint Swindall. The most powerful statistics he shared is that based on numerous surveys almost every organization has about 26 percent of it's employees who are the type of employee who always answers with "Oh Yeah!". You ask them to implement a new project, increase sales, motivate employees and they say "Oh-Yeah" without a bit of hesitation. This is what I call the Rock Star Employee!

Another 55% of your employees are OK. They are there to collect a pay check, they don't like to cause problems, they are not engaged but they are not disengaged either. Sometimes your Rock Star employees can sway them in their own direction toward organizational stardom. However, some of them can be pulled down into the land of ney-sayers, complainers, 'Oh-No' type employees and if I were you I'd want the reverse. This group of employees represent about 19% of your employee base and frankly are not worth all your time. They will always be there. They will never go away. Face it and focus on the positive. When you do you will get more of the positive. A positive influence on your bottom line.

Rock Star employees make you a Rock Star organization! Star spending your time, influence, rewards, and benefits on your top 81% with special emphasis on your top 26%. You will be surprised at the outcome! Really, it works! Your customers, clients, and vendors will take notice.

It's our birthday/anniversary!

Notice the employee within my logo reaching for the star! We have been helping clients with Rock Star employees & more for years. Matter of fact, Rogers HR Consulting turned 10 years old this year.

55 Active Job Search Sites (Updated 7/19)

By
I had a company encouraging me to update this list over the last couple of months.  Since they focus on veteran hiring and I am a veteran supporting other veterans I am happy to add the following to this original posting from 2017. Silent Professionals is a free veteran recruitment service. Their differentiating factor is that they focus on a very specific subset of veteran employment which is the combat arms veteran. Their site is much more than just a job board because they actually provide a service behind it which is all free to the veteran. As combat veterans themselves, with a vast amount of experience in the private security sector, they are able to use that experience and influence within the industry to act as trusted advocates for the veteran candidate. They boast an incredible 84% job placement success rate for candidates that they recommend to employers. One of the reasons they're able to do that is because of their focus on jobs for combat veterans who are seek...

Let’s talk about substituting holistic solutions for traditional EAPs

By
As a female entrepreneur, I often think about those who supported me along the way to a now 20 year successful business venture. That's why I like to give back and help other women working to have a long entrepreneurial career as well. Meet Amy Denney who is a locally owned small business owner focusing on helping others. She feels strongly that HR professionals can include her services in their overall employee assistance programs. Help me help her by giving the following a read from this "guest blogger". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let’s talk about substituting holistic solutions for traditional EAPs By Amy Denney There’s a tragedy in Employee Assistance Programs currently: they are underutilized AND they rarely even do what they promise. This wellness model is intended to give employees access to needed support in the midst of personal life issues and crises. The EAP is often the...

ISERRA Requires Public Employers to PAY for Military Leave

By
It is important for public employers to understand the Illinois Service Member Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (ISERRA) and how it impacts their obligation to employees who are on a military leave of absence.   ISERRA consolidated the state’s Military Leave of Absence Act, Public Employee Armed Services Rights Act, Municipal Employees Military Active Duty Act, and the Local Government Employee Benefits Continuation Act.   Much of ISSERA is modeled after the federal Uniformed Serivces Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USSERA) .   However, there are important differences. Who Is Protected? All members of the Armed Forces whether active duty, inactive duty or reserve, including the National Guard when performing state duty. All members of Military Auxiliary Radio System, United States Coast Guard Reserve, Civil Air Patrol and the Merchant Marines when performing official duties in support of an emergency. Members who are released from military...
