Is Casual Friday Getting Too Casual?

Like many things if clear and concise expectations are not set up, casual Friday’s can quickly become too casual. As many as 90% of companies in the U.S. have a “casual” day, with one third allowing casual clothing every day. The key to maintaining a professional environment while allowing casual attire is a clear expectation of what is acceptable, preferably included in the employee handbook.

Should Your Next Search For Candidates Be On Facebook?

With the continued buzz on social recruiting and Facebook’s ever growing number of users, many assume the search for their next hire is on Facebook. Statistically, that is not the case. Let’s take a peek at the facts.

  • The users are there. According to Business Insider, there are approximately 1.44 billion active Facebook users each month.
  • The scrolling is real.  Users in the the United States average 40 minutes per day on Facebook.The largest majority of time is spent on the user’s newsfeed and viewing photos posted by friends.
  • Their professional information is hard to find. Only about 20% of Facebook users have entered any professional information in the past year.
  • They’re likely on a mobile device.189 million Facebook users are “mobile only”. Unless you have a very streamlined mobile application process, your click to completed application conversion will likely be very low.

While most users still see Facebook as a personal social networking platform, there are ways to engage with potential candidates. With the majority of screen time spent on newsfeed, purchasing paid ads to advertise your open positions can quickly capture candidate attention. Keep in mind with a heavy mobile audience, having a streamlined mobile friendly application process will be the key to success. Several corporations have built very strong career brands on their company pages. With more than 36M likes, Starbucks has built a jobs page allowing candidates to not only view and apply for jobs but also sign up for job alerts and view videos on company culture.

While Facebook doesn’t necessarily have the easiest and most searchable data for candidates, as the second most visited website today it should not be ignored from an employer branding perspective. If your page doesn’t include a link to your careers page, a jobs app, and visual data regarding your company culture take action today!

However, make sure you still follow company policies and procedures especially as far as behavior and dress codes are concerned. Halloween in the workplace allows employees to have fun and gives you the opportunity to interact with your co-workers and upper management on a more casual basis; all while building friendships and teamwork, making everyone more comfortable and productive in the workplace.

Professional Drivers- Keeping America Moving!

While many of us enjoy the luxuries of day to day life without much thought, millions of professional Drivers know exactly the amount of effort and miles that went in to your favorite products arriving in your local stores or your doorstep.

Truck

 


For many people who do not know anyone who drives professionally, the extent of thoughts that go in to the logistics industry often stop just beyond traffic jams. Here are a few amazing facts from the American Trucking Associations that just might blow your mind.

  • Nearly 70% of all the freight tonnage moved in the U.S. is moved on trucks.
  • Trucks move 9.2 billion tons of freight annually in the U.S.
  • 3 million truck drivers are needed to move the 9.2 billion tons of freight.
  • The trucking industry requires 37 billion gallons of diesel fuel annually.

What an amazing service these Drivers perform for us each and every day! Take a moment to thank a Driver for all they do!
