“Woo!” I think we are on to something here! A sense of worth, belonging, community, real-time feedback, rewards for a job well done and goals once set noticed, recognized and achieved. There lies an innate sense of belonging, to develop cohesive relationships laced with a competitive edge/spirit. What if there existed a solution that evened the playing field for all employees across multiple locations to interact in one platform to drive everyday engagement and recognition amongst all employees? Doesn’t the business world ultimately revolve around edging out the competition day in and day out? The same holds true across the multiple layers of your organization internally. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure type thought process so to speak.
The true fix to this whole scenario is to ideally stamp out this kind of scenario from cropping up in the first place. I’m not for sure about you, but the last time I saw Bigfoot was a couple of months back when he came to the door with his good friend the Easter Bunny and exclaimed “Trick or Treat!” Thus, what is really needed to fill Susan’s soon empty Business Development role is the ability to find Bigfoot in a huge forest filled with ordinary brown squirrels.
CAN YOU PLAY FINDING BIGFOOT CROSS PLATFORM FULL
Taking Michael Junge’s play on the term purple squirrel, you should ‘ideally’ already have a team chock full of these squirrels reporting to their work post daily energized and ready to tackle whatever challenges come their way.
CAN YOU PLAY FINDING BIGFOOT CROSS PLATFORM HOW TO
That purple squirrel being identified as the perfect candidate match to the expected duties role of the newly vacated position, someone who needs little training, knows about the opening, is a proper culture fit and with a hopeful stroke of luck, the knows how to make home-made snickerdoodle cookies! Well maybe not the cookies part, but you get the idea. Submit a new job requisition, cross your fingers and hope, hope, hope…Hope that you are able to find that almost mythical purple squirrel that Michael Junge (a former Google recruiter) speaks about in his book published a couple years back. Well, you revert to doing what you have always done. She also takes a muscular work ethic, spot-on business acumen, 97 words typed per minute, middle name efficient attention to detail, ability to masterfully juggle moving pieces while playing hopscotch on shifting carpet, powerpoint ninja know-how, positive attitude, and those weekly home-made snickerdoodle cookies at Monday Morning meetings. Uhh-Ohhh! In less than 13 days Susan will exit your company carrying more than a cardboard box with her effects and that cute Halloween family photo in the exaggerated ghost frame.
Susan, your four year seasoned Director of Business Development just came back from lunch and handed in her notice of resignation. So a big Woo to Jeff from Chicago for the following post!įinding Bigfoot in a Forest Full of Brown Squirrels Though, to be honest, the title of the post even had us a little skeptical and puzzled at first. We thought that it was too good not to share. One of our new applicants, completely unprompted, decided to write us a blog post based on his understanding of the benefits of employee recognition and engagement in the workplace. We’ve been busy expanding our team and are always so happy to see enthusiastic candidates that go that one step further to show you how much they like the company and want to be a part of the team. We hope you had a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We’re excited to kick off the New Year with a blog post that’s a little left of centre.
