Collecting Unemployment Track Your Job Search EffortsCollecting Unemployment? Track Your Job Search EffortsCollecting Unemployment Track Your Job Search EffortsFor most, being unemployed sucks. Instead of spending your days doing your job, you spend your days job searching...and searching...and searching some more. Oy, how exhaustingBut since job searching alone can be hard work, you might as well get paid for it, right? Collecting unemployment benefits these days is more common than ever, especially when mass layoffs are the cause and people have mortgages to pay and families to support.If youre considering collecting unemployment benefits from your state, its important to note that its not a free ride to get there. Your state may have different rules and regulations, but here in Massachusetts you have to provide proof of all your job search efforts in order to collect your checks. They may not ask for records all the time, but you must have written proof of your job search efforts ready if the state requests them.In fact, Massachusetts law requires you to do three things each week to remain eligible for benefitsMake a minimum of three work search contacts in each week that benefits are claimed.Keep a written log of those work search contacts.Provide a work search log to Division of Unemployment Assistance upon request.To make things even stricter, youre required to write everything in the program-provided Worksearch Activity Log (they wont accept any other form).Here are some suggestions to help you keep track of your effortsPin the Worksearch Activity Log to your refrigerator door so youre forced to look at it several times a day.Save receipts and notes from meetings or networking opportunities, then write them down on the form as soon as you get home.Use online tools (likes Tracker and TaskManager) to log all your job search activities and communications, from submitting resumes and making phone calls, to storing interview times and contact names, so you ca n easily fill in the form when the state agency requests it.The point is, you cant just sit on your couch day after day collecting unemployment you have to be a proactive job seeker, and you have to have the records to prove it. Its in your and the governments best interest to constantly search for new opportunities.

But meanwhile, that partial sum is a source of income you dont want to lose, so be aya to follow your states unemployment guidelines until you find your next job.What other ways do you stay organized while hunting for a job?

Where Are the Entry Level Jobs

Where Are the Entry Level JobsWhere Are the Entry Level JobsYou spent four years focused in college earning that degree with a clear pathway in sight walking off campus straight into your dream job. Why is it then that so many new qualittuates are living at home with their parents and areworking odd jobs justto make a semblance of a living? Yes, the anemic economy is a contributingfactor. However, just as important, if not more critical, is the lack of knowledge of where the jobs are and how to find them. Candidates armed with the right information and with access to help in crafting a job search strategy are having greatersuccess. In fact, entry-level hiring has actually been one of the fastest growing sectors of the job market.The challenge is that the market for entry-level professional positions is highly inefficient, asthe new grad job seeker and hiring companies have difficulty finding each other. This is due, in part, to structural changes in when and how new grads look for j obs. At the same time, while the availability of entry-level jobs is improving, these jobs are much more difficult for new grads to identify as many entry-level positions are not advertised.Historically, large employers have been the driving force behind college recruiting, as they possess the resources to maintain large college recruiting efforts, hire in large numbers and provide centralized training. However, with a challenging economic environment, many of these programs have been reduced or eliminated. Despite recent economic improvement, larger companies have been cautious in hiring, focused on productivity and maximizing earnings.Gradstaff, a new college graduate staffing service, has increasingly seen hiring at the entrys of high paying positions in strong demand include claims trainee, health care member advocate, associate credit analyst, social media analyst, property accountant, etc. A combination of factors contributesto strength in new grad hiring among small and mediu m-sized companies. First, many mature, profitable companies are dealing with significant demographic trends. Industries including insurance, health care, commercial real estate, logistics and many others have older age profiles and face the loss of baby-boomers to retirement in the next 10 years. These companies must hire more at the entry-level now in order to prepare for the loss of key performers. Second, almost all companies are seeking people with strong technology skills regardless of the position. New grads typically have the technology skills that companies are seeking.While small and medium companies are hiring, what they arent doing is finding these grads on campus. Simply put, they just dont hire enough to justify the investment in a dedicated college recruiting effort. Furthermore, many dont have the brand image of a Google or Accenture, and thus, feel they do not get sufficient attention when recruiting on campus or attending a career fair. As a result, they rely on ref errals, both from employees and partners (vendors, clients, etc.), as well as job postings and social media to identify candidates.Once home after graduation, job seekers are on their own, and because they may have delayed looking for a job while on campus, they lack important job search skills and strategies. Many may also lack the knowledge and self-awareness to know where their majors or core skills can be applied in the workplace. As a result, job searches tend to rely heavily on making electronic applications via the internet, increasingly using mobile devices. Commonly, this approach is unsuccessful due to lack of focus and the difficulty in differentiating an entry-level resume. Many experts feel that the key to finding a job is personal networking, which is an underdeveloped skill among recent grads. Due to the growth in electronic forms of communication, job seekers often underestimate the importance of the personal touch. Potential sources include college alumni, former co aches and professors, family friends, so forth.Services like Gradstaff, address this problem by acting as the intermediary between small and medium-sized employers and college grad job seekers. They offer recruiting networks encompassing more than 900 colleges across the U.S. and offer an outsourced college recruiting service to client companies.For job seekers, such services provides skills assessment and career exploration services to help identify potential industries and positions that would fit the candidate. Acting as a matchmaker, this places candidates in professional positions with a focus on long-term retention. While this service does not guarantee placement for all candidates,it tries to give themuseful feedback and coaching that will be helpful in theirjob search.The entry-level job market for college grads is changing. All interested parties job seekers, hiring companies, and colleges must adapt in order to make the entry-level job market more efficient. The good ber ichterstattung is that demographic changes and the need for strong technology skills should lead to improved prospects for new college grads.

6 Warning Signs of Pointless Internships

6 Warning Signs of Pointless Internships 6 Warning Signs of Pointless Internships For the past 6 weeks this woman has done some work, but nothing substantial. The firm is small with just a few employees, the majority of whom work remotely. This woman drives 45 minutes three days a week for her so-called “internship.” Most of the time when she arrives, her boss (the head of the firm) is not even there. And some days her boss fails to show up, leaving the woman with no work to do. Now, she desperately wants to break into the PR field and truly believes in the potential of the company she’s interning with. She admitted to me that it could be more organized. And I admitted to her that that’s not the only thing this firm is lacking. We’re constantly receiving advice on when to jump ship in our 9-5pm jobs, but what about students and internships? Or not even students, but those who have taken on a supposed internship with a company hoping to break into a field? Why don’t we offer these types of people the latest tips and tricks on how to spot the it’s-just-not-working-out signs? Well, I’m here to put an end to all of that. Nearly half of college graduates are underemployed and 6.3 percent of 2012 graduates are unemployed. What’s worse is that studies show that businesses only plan to hire 2.1 percent more college graduates from the class of 2013 than they did from the class of 2012. Getting the required skills necessary to obtain full-time employment (and in your degree field) is not something to be taken lightly. And internships are one of the best ways to learn those skills. College students and the inexperienced workers looking switch fields do not have time to work at just any internship- they need to actually benefit from these positions. So, below are six red flags of a faulty internship. Ladies and gentleman, students and inexperienced trying-to-my-foot-in-the-door-workers: If you are looking for an internship, be aware of these signs that may show it won’t end up being in your best interest. And if you’re currently working at an internship, measure its features by this list to determine whether or not you need to jump ship: 1. No Contract This is very important. Just as new employees have to sign all the important documents when hired by a company, so should interns sign the correct papers for an internship. You know the saying, “Get it in writing.” Why? Because writing makes it official. Make sure you have a copy for your records that 1) explains the duration of the internship 2) your duties 3) compensation (if any) and 4) any causes for termination. This helps bring the formality into the internship process. Why is it okay for the young woman’s boss to show up late or not at all? Because they never made a binding agreement for her internship. It was only “talked about.” Having written documents helps set things in stone. 2. Getting food/running personal errands As an intern you are not your boss’s personal assistant; I don’t care what you see in the movies. Being at your boss’s beck and call, buying his/her lunch and running the person’s personal errands is not your job. Your job as an intern is to contribute to the company while gaining knowledge and insight to help you in your chosen career field. I had the opportunity to work at 7 different internships while in college and not once did my managers ever ask me to buy them lunch. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you picking your boss up a Starbucks latte or sandwich from the nearby deli if he or she is super busy and asks; or if you’re already out and your manager requests this. But, this should not be a regular thing or something that is expected of you. 3. Doing “busy work” Sure, interns are there to “pick up the slack,” in a sense, and help with the important tasks other employees just don’t have time to fulfill. I understand that, but, just like being the “coffee boy/girl” this shouldn’t be a regular occurrence. The work you do at an internship needs to benefit your future career. If what you’re doing is in no way connected to your major or career aspirations, talk to your manager about it. If he or she still gives you busy work, it’s time to move on. *I understand that most people, especially students, would not want to leave an internship before the required end date. But, remember you having the necessary skills to get a job post-graduate is crucial. You do not have time to waste doing something that isn’t benefiting your career. If you decide to leave an internship early you can 1) leave it off your resume (especially if you were only there for a short period of time) or 2) explain how the internship didn’t help you excel during your next interview. 4. Not doing enough work This is similar to point no.3. Again, an internship should offer you real-world experience. It should challenge you. If you find yourself sitting idle, ask your manager for more tasks. Doing nothing (even if you’re getting paid) will not help your future because you’ll be missing out on the opportunity to acquire important skills. 5. Manager isn’t interested in career growth The main thing I appreciate from each of my internships (and what benefited me the most) was the fact that each of my managers were invested in my career growth. Every single one of them set out to make sure I took away all the necessities as I worked. They constantly asked for my ideas and feedback and monitored my strengths and weaknesses throughout the internships. The acted as mentors, always looking out for my best interest. Interns need managers who not only care about what they can do for the company, but what the company and experience interning there can do for the interns’ careers. 6. Unorganized/no structure A unorganized internship program is a definite red flag. Just like you wouldn’t want to work for a company that lacks structure in its different processes, you should avoid the same thing when interning.

A Sample Employee Handbook Acknowledgement of Receipt

A Sample Employee Handbook Acknowledgement of Receipt A Sample Employee Handbook Acknowledgement of Receipt Every employer needs an employee handbook. In this article, you will learn the purpose and reasons why you need an employee handbook. Then, a sample employee handbook acknowledgment of receipt and a sample amendment to the employee handbook are provided. How Does an Employee Handbook Contribute? An employee handbook is a valuable tool for the employer when it provides accurate information for employees. A thoughtful, well-written handbook should also ensure that the employer can manage in a way that meets its business goals. The handbook needs to supply enough guidance to create the  consistent and fair treatment of employees yet leave room for managers to exercise discretion based on the circumstances. Written properly, the employee handbook may keep you from having to deal with employee legal claims  related to  inconsistent or  discriminatory treatment. Another purpose of the employee handbook is to protect your business from employment claims that were caused by unintentional omissions or poor word usage that limited the ability of the handbook to support the employers best interests. Recommended Legal Oversight As with any document you distribute to employees, you need to have your employee handbook reviewed by an employment law attorney. It is too easy to unconsciously create contracts that limit your ability to manage your workplace. It is also easy to use language that will not properly provide protection for the employer against claims. You also want to manage your relationship with your employees legally, ethically, and by interacting consistently so you don’t create perceived favoritism. Additionally, the purpose of an employee handbook is to let employees know what is expected so that they have the opportunity to perform effectively. Employee Receipt and Acknowledgment In all cases, you want to prepare an employee handbook receipt and the acknowledgment form for employees to sign and date. This receipt should acknowledge that the employee has read and understands the policies and guidelines presented in the handbook. Further, this statement should reaffirm the employment-at-will status of the employment of each employee. Finally, the statement should contain a disclaimer, similar to the disclaimer in the actual employee handbook, that the employee understands that the contents are simply policies and guidelines, not a contract or implied contract with employees. The employee handbook receipt should be filed in the employees personnel file along with other documents related to his or her employment. Contents of an Employee Handbook Looking for ideas about the content of a comprehensive employee handbook? Here’s a  list of the policies, procedures, and professional behavioral expectations  found in many employee handbooks. This sample table of contents also covers pay, benefits, performance expectations and legal issues. Sample Acknowledgment of Receipt of the Employee Handbook I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the (Your Company Name)  Employee Handbook dated: (date). I understand that this employee handbook replaces any and all prior verbal and written communications regarding (Your Company Name) working conditions, policies, procedures, appeal processes, and benefits. I understand that the working conditions, policies, procedures, appeal processes, and benefits described in this handbook are confidential and may not be distributed in any way nor discussed with anyone who is not an employee of (Your Company Name). I have read and understood the contents of this handbook and will act in accord with these policies and procedures as a condition of my employment with (Your Company Name). I have read and understood the Standards of Conduct expected by (Your Company Name) and I agree to act in accord with the Standards of Conduct as a condition of my employment by (Your Company Name). I understand that if I have questions or concerns at any time about the handbook or the Standards of Conduct, I will consult my immediate supervisor, my supervisors manager, the Human Resources staff, or the President for clarification. I also acknowledge that the handbook contains an employment-at-will provision that states: Either (Your Company Name) or I can terminate my employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice;That this employment-at-will relationship is in effect regardless of any other written statements or policies contained in this handbook, in any other (Your Company Name) documents, or in any verbal statements to the contrary; andThat no one except the President can enter into any differing employment relationship, contract, or agreement. To be enforceable, any such out-of-the-ordinary relationship. contract  or agreement must be in writing, signed by the President, notarized, and in the employee file. Finally, I understand that the contents of this employee handbook are simply policies and guidelines, not a contract or implied contract with employees. The contents of the employee handbook may change at any time. Please read this Handbook and these employee Standards of Conduct carefully to understand these conditions of employment before you sign this document. ______________________________________________________________ Employee Signature ____________________________________________ Date _______________________________________________ Employee Name (Please Print) Amendments to the Employee Handbook Policy Sample When you wish to amend your employee handbook, you dont need to start the handbook receipt acknowledgment process over again with your employees. You simply need to use a form that acknowledges that they have received the amendment. Amendments to Handbook: The Company reserves the right and discretion to amend, delete, deviate from, or change benefits, compensation and policies at the sole discretion of the Company. Changes are effective as of the date of their occurrence. Exceptions to the Amendments to Handbook Policy: Only the President of the Company, in a written document signed by him, has the authority to enter into any agreements contrary to the terms of this Company Employee Handbook.

From Resume to Interview How to be the Problem Solving Candidate

From Resume to Interview How to be the Problem Solving Candidate From Resume to Interview How to be the Problem Solving Candidate Regardless of how you think about the recruitment process, there’s only one reason a company should choose you over other candidates: you are the right person to solve their problems. With this in mind, you have to approach your job search thinking that your success as an employee will be measured not only by how well you do but also how you go above what you are asked to do. It’s all about the problems you solve. If you want to win in the job market, you need to tailor your communications, whether written or oral, to the problems you’d be hired to solve. Why Is Problem-Solving Important in Your Job Search? In the most saturated job markets, landing your dream job at a company you like sounds like a utopia. Top employers  not only use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to screen the applicant’s skills and qualifications, but they look for the candidates who have the best understanding of their operations. Most people don’t bother putting themselves in the shoes of the employer. But, with a little research, you can market yourself as someone who knows the problems of your industry- even those of the company you’re applying to. By doing so, you’ll be a much stronger candidate and boost your chances of getting hired. How to Be a Problem-Solving Expert The first step toward making your candidacy problem-solving oriented is by having a firm grasp of your industry. Not only should you be 100% knowledgeable about the job you’ll be performing, but you should be able to understand what’s going on at the managerial level and the types of problems your future employers face on a daily basis. For this reason, reading business management books that pertain to your industry is one of the best things you can do. They’ll provide you with the specific language that you need to convince recruiters and managers that they would be crazy not to hire you. Amazon is a great place to start. Once you’ve tailored your resume according to the job description and industry using resume keywords, you need to show that you see beyond your daily tasks and are capable of solving problems. Your cover letter gives you the opportunity to elude to past accomplishments, initiatives and targeted skills in a way that suggests how you’re going to make a difference. To be convincing, you need to point out concrete issues and link them to past accomplishments. For example, organizations that develop accounting software for small- and medium-sized companies care about leads generation, traffic conversion, and churn reduction. You’ll want to build accomplishments around these topics, emphasizing the managerial point of view. If you can show employers convincingly how you’ll locate their product in an industry where features, price ranges, and compatibility make users switch from one service to another, you’ll have a strong case. One way to learn whats most important is to analyze the job description and your resume with Jobscan. This will tell you what skills and abilities are most important to the job and whether or not your resume addresses them. How to Broadcast Your Future Success Numbers are great to quantify your past accomplishments but they mean nothing unless they relate to the challenges you’ll be facing at the prospective company. When writing your resume, don’t merely quantify your past successes- make them resonate for the company. For example, instead of only writing by what percentage you increased your former employer’s sales, mention what framework or method you used and allude to what problem led you to choose this strategy. If you have unique skills or knowledge, like training in psychology, put it forward and describe what types of problems it helps you resolve. This angle will make you stand out as a high-value candidate, which may be a difference maker. But make sure to point out why this skill or knowledge matters to the company you’re targeting. If you’re looking for a realtor position, for example, psychology training combined with the right credentials is a great asset because the home-buying process is an important decision. In other words, your resume and cover letter need to be specific about how you’re going to help this particular company solve their unique set of issues. Your candidacy should be a “no-brainer” While you want to present yourself as a problem-solver throughout the entire hiring process, it is perhaps most important during its final stages. The interview is your opportunity to show the value you’ll bring to the company. You can bring a plan with your ideas or ask specific questions about the company at the end of the interview. This tactic will give you the opportunity to speak about your capacity to solve the company’s problems in a more thorough way than you might have otherwise. Sometimes the recruiter’s questions don’t allow you to make your case the way you want. And sometimes you just fail to answer them accurately because you don’t have enough time to think.  However, if you can take it upon yourself to showcase your strengths and unique value by giving them a proposal, or by asking smart questions in the interview, you will come off as a strong candidate. Show what you can do for them and how you will do it. Your follow-up should be no exception. It should mention something that you discussed that you feel excited about and relate to your strengths. If you show them more than what other applicants do, they won’t face a difficult decision. For example, if you’ve talked about sales strategies, you can tell your interviewer that you’re looking forward to using your storytelling skills to help them increase their sales.

LEED-ers of the Pack

LEED-ers of the Pack LEED-ers of the Pack LEED-ers of the Pack For job-seeking mechanical engineers, professional accreditation is a tried and true way to stand out from the crowd. But in todays tight employment market, engineers should consider going a little further to impress a potential employer: show them a little bit of green. No, were not endorsing bribery. The green thats in big demand today is professional accreditation in sustainable design and construction through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). LEED-certified buildings dont necessarily have to be designed by LEED-accredited architects and engineers, but choosey employers looking for ways to single out high-value candidates are likely to look for those letters on a resume. Following the economic meltdown of 2008 and the heavy layoffs that followed in the building design and construction industry, many survivors say LEED accreditation shaved months off their transition to new jobs. Even engineers unaffected by the recession have found the credential has created options for growth. Being a LEED Accredited Professional (AP) has made me more marketable as a professional, says Michael Senger, P.E., a mechanical engineer who designs and specifies LEED-rated HVAC systems for Heapy Engineering, In Dayton, OH. When people recognize the credential, it tends to lead to questions about sustainability and energy efficiency that might not come about if I only held a P.E. license. Before specializing in HVAC engineering, Senger was Heapys LEED project manager, with responsibility for completing and submitting all the required documentation for projects seeking LEED certification. In addition to a firm command of LEED prerequisites and credits, his LEED training gave him extensive project management experience that I might not have otherwise had the opportunity to obtain at such a young age, he says. Shades of Green There are more than 100,000 LEED-APs worldwide in more than 120 countries. Once almost exclusively sought by architects, LEED accreditation is now considered a high-return-on-investment pursuit for mechanical engineers; more than 6,000 mechanical engineers now have the credential. Senger says his experience as a LEED AP has shaped his work as a mechanical engineer, It helps me to think more critically, not just about energy consumption but also occupant comfort and indoor air and environmental quality. In 2007, the U.S. Green Building Council created the U.S. Green Building Institute as a third party to handle its professional accreditation activities. It also created six discipline-specific credentials acknowledging the many facets of sustainable development: LEED Green Associate: a non-technical category for anyone with a professional interest in sustainability standards. LEED AP BD+C: for building commercial, institutional, and high-rise residential design and construction professionals. LEED AP Homes: for professionals involved in the design and construction of high-performance green homes. LEED AP O+M: for building operations and maintenance professionals. LEED AP ID+C: for interior design and construction professionals. LEED AP ND: for specialists in sustainable neighborhood design and planning. What It Takes to LEED The vast majority of LEED AP mechanical engineers have gone for the BD+C rating, which covers expertise relevant to large institutional buildings in the residential, healthcare, and education sectors. As an HVAC specialist, Senger has both the BD+C and ID+C credentials. It costs $100 to apply for each credential, plus another $450 to take the four-hour, two-part accreditation exam (discounts apply to full-time employees of U.S. or Canadian Green Building Council-member companies). The first part of the exam covers the general subject matter required to earn the basic Green Associate credential. The second part then focuses on the minutiae of each specialty area. The USGBC markets training materials through its website. LEED APs must renew their credential every two years by taking at least 30 hours of continuing education credits. Credential = Credibility Senger says his LEED credential adds a certain level of credibility or legitimacy to opinions he might have when it comes to reasons behind a system choice or design decision related to sustainability. It has also helped him make the many tough decisions that come when the goals of energy efficiency dont quite align with other important design goals such as user control, environmental quality, or some other project constraint. Ive learned to utilize an energy model as a design tool to help evaluate system types and emerging technologies. This has been helpful in finding the situations when the obvious energy-saving technology is actually the wrong choice, he says. Michael McRae is an independent writer. When people recognize the credential, it tends to lead to questions about sustainability and energy efficiency that might not come about if I only held a P.E. license.Michael Senger, P.E., mechanical engineer, Heapy Engineering

Pros and Cons of a 30-Hour Work Week

Pros and Cons of a 30-Hour Work Week Pros and Cons of a 30-Hour Work Week Around the world, different cultural norms and employer expectations dictate the number of hours that employees work. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reported in 2018 that Americans work an average of 37 hours per week, trailing the 43 hours per week put in by Mexican workers. Germans work the fewest hours per week, coming in at 28. This includes all types of working arrangements, from part-time and full-time to contract and side gigs. Since 2016, Amazon.com has been using a 30-hour workweek for some groups. In exchange for a more flexible schedule and reduced work hours, the employees agreed to a 25%  pay cut but could retain all of their employee benefits. Companies like Deloitte and Google also offer employees the option of compressed workweeks. The Origin of 40-Hour Work Weeks According to popular history, the notion of eight hours of work, eight hours of leisure, and eight hours of rest each day came from Welsh industrialist and labor rights activist Robert Owen. The idea stuck in the post-Civil War U.S. and became the standard for the modern work week. Later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt enacted the New Deal policy that made 40 hours a week the American standard to reform previous labor abuses that happened during the Great Depression. Lets take a look at the pros and cons for both employees and employers of reducing the standard work week to 30 hours per week. Pros More work-life balance appeals to millennials. Parents of young children appreciate the extra family time. Employees are less likely to suffer burnout. Work schedules can be more flexible. Cons Employees would be paid less. Employers may need to increase staff sizes. Full benefits for fewer hours could increase costs for employers. Workaholic employees may struggle to adjust. The Pros and Cons for Employers Millennials have been the majority of the adult workforce in the U.S. since 2017, and a 30-hour work week appeals to that age group. Millennials have been shown to be more focused on work-life balance than on attaining power at work. A 30-hour work week also could appeal to more parents who already struggle with the responsibilities of having a career and running a household. A shortened schedule offered to employees also can prevent burnout and disengagement in workers by offering them more time to recuperate and enjoy life. The overhead costs of running an office also could be reduced. The risk of injury, which has been shown to increase when people work more than 12 hours per day, could be reduced. In terms of potential negatives for employers, if the standard work week is reduced to 30 hours, this could increase the chance of paying overtime for more hours worked, depending on how overtime laws were adapted to the new standard. It also could leave certain times uncovered by employees during regular business hours, requiring the hiring of more people. Employees who already are working fewer hours may no longer see this as a benefit and start slacking off. The demand for employee benefits could increase as all workers who fall under previous limits set forth by health care reform would become eligible for coverage. The Pros and Cons for Employees For employees, having a set 30-hour work week could seem like a dream come true. They could choose to work 5 days each week, but each day would start or end at a more convenient time. They could take longer and more frequent breaks, which means commute times would not improve if they began and ended their shifts at the same times. Employees who already work from remote locations would experience the biggest benefit from a reduced work week. Employees may still have a tendency to work extra hours, as it’s a hard habit to break. They may be more rested and have more time for personal needs- but at a reduced salary which would remove some of their expendable income. Employees may find it difficult to adjust and wont be as productive in a condensed schedule. The End of the Standard 40-Hour Week? According to Inc., millennials are the first generation that views work as a headspace and not a physical place. They are continually plugged into their mobile phones, in a “never-offline and always-available” way of working. Millennials have no issue with combining work and personal life. They bound out of bed in the morning already checking email and social media networks. They conduct personal business, like shopping, while they also are at work. They dont mind engaging with a manager in a text conversation over weekends. It’s clear that mobile working options could influence the number of hours that the average adult works. A 2017 Deloitte Millennial Survey advised that Millennials who report working from flexible locations is up by 21 percent from 2016. About 64 percent now enjoy this perk. It’s a matter of preference for each individual. Whether working in an office or remotely, employers can establish a set amount of hours that are acceptable and prove to be most productive. Employees can choose careers that offer them the freedom to work when and where they feel they are at their peak of productivity. Working fewer hours also can help reduce burnout, but it could put added stress and pressure on people who don’t manage their time well. Impact on Employee Benefits Under the Affordable Care Act, employees are eligible for group health benefits if they are full time, which is defined by working an average of 30 hours per week. Employees also have the option to be covered under a spouse’s employer plan, a private insurance plan purchased through their state marketplace, or a public health plan if they meet certain low-income guidelines. Some employers also offer limited benefits to part-time workers, including supplemental insurance, educational benefits, paid time off, and company discounts for travel, mobile phones, and technology.

How to prepare for a mid-year review

How to prepare for a mid-year review How to prepare for a mid-year review We’re just about halfway through 2019 and a whole bunch of us in the  Bossed Up Courage Community have questions about how to best prepare for mid-year review season.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Ladders’ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Here are 3 quick tips to get you prepared to make the most out of your mid-year review:1. Break out the Brag BookJust a few weeks back, Jessica shared a boss tip blog post all about how to  start a brag book  to track your achievements and accomplishments. This is the time to put that book to good use!Tally up your latest achievements, take stock of any recent awards or recognition, and tap into the file full of happy client feedback. Prepare for your mid-year review with as many concrete metrics that you can bring to the table as possible.Struggling to find any good validation in the data? If you’re short on positive  outcomes, focus on calculating some numbers that reflect the effort, energy, and commitment you’ve brought to the task at hand.For instance, an editor friend of mine once had what turned out to be just a really lousy year in terms of how many book deals she was able to secure for the publisher. But it wasn’t for a lack of trying. She brought all the data to her boss and tried to analyze where she went wrong, showing all the competitive bids she’d made for book deals that year. Upon review with her boss, they agreed it was nothing more than a fluke! Even thought her win-loss record wasn’t stellar, my friend went into her review able to show she brought her A-game nonetheless.2. Get Clear on Your GoalsShowing that you’re forward-thinking and always focused on making progress is a key factor for acing your mid-year review. Be clear about what goals you’re pursuing in this chapter of your career â€" but keep in mind who your audience is, too. You should  not  feel the need to disclose that you’re looking to grow in a totally dif ferent direction that your current position allows, unless there’s a culture of radical honesty at your workplace or if you work for the kind of giant company that helps facilitate employee’s cross-departmental transitions.The best way to describe your goals moving forward is to focus on how you’re looking to develop your  craft.  What skills are you looking to hone and develop? What professional development opportunities are you pursuing? And how does your growth tie directly into the company’s overall growth, too?Need help getting clear on your goals?  Pick up your copy of  the Bossed Up LifeTracker Planner  to bring more clarity and consistency to your year while they’re still 50% off.  SHOP NOW 3. Have a plan for growthWhether you feel like your performance is in need of improvement, or that you’re absolutely crushin’ it at your job, go into your mid-year review with a plan to propose.Need to step things up?  Don’t wait for your manager to put you on a performanc e improvement plan (a PiP). Propose one yourself. You might say something like this:“While I feel confident about the reports I’m writing up, I want to avoid making mistakes in the accounting processes, so I’ve found an interactive online course I’d love to take and have asked for some one-on-one time with Teresa in accounting to gain some training from her directly as well.”Feel like you’re killin’ it at work?  Don’t wait for the red carpet to be rolled out for your promotion. Ask what it would take to make it happen. You might say something like this:“I feel confident in my performance and committed to our organization. I’d love to explore what opportunities for growth exist for me in here in the form of a raise or promotion. Do you think I’m eligible for that kind of growth this year? What do we need to do to explore that further?”Make the most of your performance reviewAs much as you’ll want to prepare for your mid-year performance review, remember that this is a two-way conversation, too. Stay open to  receiving feedback, actively listen for queues from your manager about how they perceive your performance and where they see you going in the organization, too.At the end of the day, these reviews are not just about pleasing the boss, they’re also about gaining more information about your potential for growth and development. And if you’re not liking what you’re hearing, they might just be the impetus you need to  pre-game your career change.This article first appeared on Bossed Up.
