Rebooting Hiring
The pandemic challenged our healthcare system to change some of the fundamentals in healthcare delivery. Doctors and nurses were permitted to practice across state lines without additional licensing, and insurance companies agreed to temporarily pay for telemedicine appointments.
Hiring is no different. Many companies continued to hire and onboard talent even with the stay-at-home orders. All interviews were conducted remotely, some eliminated drug testing, others created care packages with computers and preinstalled security delivered to the candidate’s door so they could begin onboarding to their new role from the comfort of their homes. We can learn some valuable lessons that will allow us to reboot hiring – not back to the way it used to be but to the way it should be.

Compensation after COVID-19
It only took a few weeks for the unemployment rate to go from the lowest it has ever been to the highest it has been in recent times. As a result, we have an expanded talent pool to choose from. This rapid change is causing Talent Management and HR professionals to rethink compensation. We will examine the process and resources to obtain reliable compensation data. Plus, we’ll discuss your total rewards package including culture, flexible scheduling and opportunities for growth.

2B // What You Need to Know About Hiring Veterans // Sharon Robino-West, MA
What You Need to Know About Hiring Veterans
Who doesn’t want to support our Veterans? Studies show that when you hire a veteran you are hiring a loyal worker who knows how to take direction, yet think for themselves and improvise, adapt and overcome when the need arises. Veterans can be one of your greatest employment assets.
Sharon Robino-West, MA, Community Employment Coordinator, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
