Company Culture Matters

In the world of business, buzz words like employee retention, employee engagement, and company culture are thrown around at alarming rates. There is great debate as to whether any of the above listed concepts carry much meaning. What is employee retention? Company culture? These seemingly nebulous concepts all really amount to one thing: the way your people feel when they are at work. So, who sets the metrics on good company culture and employee retention? If you fail to set clear parameters when it comes to company culture, you may realize that employee retention is more difficult and find yourself with a mutiny on your hands.

Simple Scale: The Ultimate Business Hack for Entrepreneurs

Before you start to read this article, we encourage you do some research on the startup lifestyle. It is a well agreed upon fact that starting, building, funding, and growing a startup or small business is intensely difficult. In fact, many sources suggest that at minimum, building a successful startup can require its people to work somewhere between seventy and one hundred hours a week for the first three to five years of a new company. If your startup is one of the few that has actually succeeded, you may find that you are still working around the clock to keep your vision alive. We list these facts and figures not to scare you or to deter you from chasing the entrepreneurial dream. We just want to ask one simple question: What if there were an easier way?

5 Ways to Encourage Work/Life Balance in Your Employees

Let’s take a moment and do some simple math. The average employee is employed to work 40 hours a week from Monday to Friday. While that may seem like a simple 9am-5pm workweek, most employers have their people come in at 8:00am in order to accommodate for lunch breaks. According to the American Census Bureau, the average work commute is 26 minutes, and let’s give the average person 40 minutes to get ready for work in the morning. If you add all those things together: 40 mins for getting ready + 26 minute commute + 540 minute workday (including lunch) + 26 minute commute home = 632 minutes or 10.5 hours a day that the average person spends in or around work. If you get the doctor recommended eight hours of sleep a night, that leaves six out of the twenty-four hours in a work day that you have to spend with your family, friends, and loved ones. Most people spend over 60% of their lives in their place of work. That is an intense realization to have.
