We recently implemented “No Meeting Wednesday” here at BOOST after piloting the program with our leadership. First note: we HIGHLY recommend it. Here are some thoughts/considerations on the experience. What was the Driving Force? I don’t know about you, but we are spending ENDLESS hours on Zoom or Teams going from meeting to meeting to […]
No one prepares you or tells you what to do if you lose an employee (abducted by aliens, ghosted, or the absolute worst, if they pass away). Never mind if they are a trusted member of your leadership team. There’s no playbook. SHRM provides one article with cold notification text for telling your employees. There is […]
In this time of uncertainty, information overload, not to mention public and political debate over what is the right course of action (and who is to blame for the mistakes of said actions), is rampant. It is difficult to know exactly what is useful and accurate information, or even where to find it. As fast […]
‘Tis the quarter of last-minute proposals, mad scrambles for key personnel, task order bidding, and trying to keep everything straight between whose team you are on and for what. Add that to trying to manage multiple folks on vacation and everyone suffering from a bit of summer head (i.e. we’d rather be at the beach […]
It goes without saying that the world is in quite an upheaval in culture and moving toward a new normal. Yet, as we’ve said before, business must continue especially in the GovCon market and that includes hiring. We must ask: Are you currently in the job market? If so, you’re probably questioning whether to use […]
Are we ready to start talking about “coming back?” In our humble opinion, regardless of what any politician says, we are not “back” until we can get our kids out of our house (sanity now!), but that’s a whole other story! Honestly, we’re not sure if its safe yet, or what “coming back” truly looks […]
Guidance for the Intelligence Community is always changing. Yet currently those changes seem to be in hyper-drive. Luckily, we have experts like Amy Hernandez at BOOST LLC and partners like Pete Ragone from the SC&H Group to help us navigate these waters. In an information-packed hour-long virtual discussion, Amy and Pete walked attendees through the […]
On Tuesday, June 9th, BOOST’s CEO Stephanie Alexander moderated a digital panel discussing the transition of many businesses back to the workplace. As such, there are a number of important questions that employers need to be answered including: What new legal requirements do employers need to consider? What policies and procedures do employers need to […]
As puzzles are back in vogue these days, I thought this might be of interest. Unfortunately, I’ve only had the opportunity to complete one over the past few weeks, but several themes rang true as I worked on it. Puzzling (is that what we call it?) makes you go through several stages, much like the […]
What you see is what you get. Or is it? In this digital world, while you’re checking into a potential candidate’s online activity (or at least you should be), they’re checking out yours. Do you have a culture online? Are your employees speaking about “this cool company” they work for, or are your Glassdoor reviews […]
