How to Scale Your Business from an HR Angle
Employment trends expert explains why business growth needs to first begin in the HR department
Scaling your business is something that should be on every employer’s mind right now. Increasing your revenue while keeping team expenses stable is one of the most important tools for longtime profit.

Keeping Remote Workers Engaged
For many organizations, remote work is here to stay. But for teams working on a primarily or totally remote basis, building relationships and maintaining ties between workers can be a real challenge, especially when team members are scattered across state or international lines. Here are five tips to help keep remote workers engaged.
Use Technology to Stay Connected
Technology is vital to maintaining connections with remote workers. Applications like Microsoft Teams and Google Office Suite make it possible for teams to collaborate in real-time even when they are located across hundreds or even thousands of miles. However, studies show that too much time in video conferences or working online in front of a screen can lead to burnout. According to a report from Monster, 69% of work-from-home employees are experiencing burnout. The key is to balance real-time virtual meetings with online documents and video recordings to maintain a balance and minimize the risk of burnout.
