With that said, the two overall categories listed below were intended for organizational purposes only. In other words, they were used to group the metrics but were not taken into account when deciding the weight assigned to each metric.The metrics for Quality of Life were (including their weight)Average Annual Income, Adjusted for Cost of Living 1Arts, Leisure Recreation Establishments Per 100,000 Inhabitants 1Percentage of the Population Ages 25-34 1Mating Opportunities (share of bevlkerung that has never been married) 1Strength of Social Ties 1Percentage of the Population with a Bachelors Degree or Higher 1Population Growth 0.5Average 2-Bedro om Rent 0.5Housing Costs 0.5The metrics for Professional Opportunities were (including their weight)Number of Entry-Level Jobs Per 100,000 Inhabitants 1Monthly Median Starting Salary 1Technology Jobs as a Percentage of Total City Employment 1Annual Job Growth, Adjusted for Population Growth 1Median Income Growth Rate 1Economic Mobility 1Workforce Diversity 1Current Unemployment Rate 0.5Entrepreneurial Activity 0.5John S. Kiernan, writes at the WalletHub site, With many employers adopting a wait-and-see approach to both the economic recovery and Obamacare and many young people refusing to adjust expectations in the face of stiff competition, the effective unemployment rate for Americans ages 18 29 is currently 15.5 percent. There is nevertheless reason for optimism among the graduating class of 2014 as well as the scores of young people who have become so disillusioned with the job market that they have given up their search for employment. Not only do more employers plan to hire re cent college grads this year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, but hiring in general is also on the rise.Other fun tidbits from the survey include the fact that Atlanta, GA., is considered to have the highest quality of life but is only ranked 106th for professional opportunities for a combined rank of 16th. Apparently, quality of life is rated much higher than professional opportunities.The best city for professional opportunities is Aurora, CO., which flips its statistics with Atlanta. It is only 106th when it comes to quality of life and that results in a combined ranking of 17th, just one tick below Atlanta.

Marketing 101 for Recruiters, Part 5 Pay for Performance

Marketing 101 for Recruiters, Part 5 Pay for Performance Marketing 101 for Recruiters, Part 5 Pay for Performance Recruiting and marketing are two distinct parts of an organization, and rarely do workers cross from one field into another, but the departments have some key traits in common. In fact, when it comes to recruiting, there are many benefits you can reap when you put on your marketer hat. In the coming weeks, we will discuss how adopting five tried and tested marketing techniques can lead to lower cost per application, higher quality candidates, and better overall performance of your recruiting campaign. In Rule No. 4 we discussed the importance of testing your job description as a marketer would test its “marketing copy.” Our fifth and possibly most important fundamental rule for job marketing involves testing channels and paying for performance.   This is an area that distinguishes good marketers from great ones. Paying for performance is an undisputed standard for the modern marketer and should be the same for the modern talent acquisition professional. Tracking the source of your candidates and matching them to the overall investment in ad spending is something most forget to do. Historically, it has been a challenge for job marketers to do this effectively. Today this is becoming a much more streamlined and easy task with great opportunity for increasing overall performance in attracting quality candidates. The ability to track source and ROI from each channel depends on the tools. If you’re still using traditional mediums and don’t have tracking tools or an ATS, a simple solution is to incorporate a response form to track the source. When using a flat-rate job board or similar service, divide the overall spend by the candidate list received. This should give you a breakdown of the number of candidates and the degree of cost to acquire them. If you can break this down by the degree of quality and or hire rate, you’re in an even better position. If you’re using social media channels be careful about spending. It can get out of control. Monitor your click-through-rate (CTR), and compare this to your spending.   If you’re tempted to increase your advertising spend on a campaign, be sure to assess the candidates received to date before you click the ever so tempting “continue campaign” or “boost budget” button. Finally, try job search engine sponsoring if you’re not already doing so. Job search engines offer a true pay-for-performance model, which means you have greater control, lower costs and budget certainty. You set a budget, agree on a price-per-click for traffic, and you pay when someone actually clicks and views a job posting. The cost per viewer is significantly less than that of a fixed-rate job board. In fact, a Forrester study showed that the Simply Hired job search platform costs a third as much as traditional job boards. This advertising model has been a staple within the consumer advertising community for several years and only recently has become a major tool for recruitment advertising. The key differentiators with this model are campaign flexibility and ease of measurement. In terms of flexibility, it allows you to adjust your campaign to your needs. When you have enough candidates, you can pause or end the campaign instantly. In terms of measurement, you only pay for the traffic you receive, so you won’t blindly assess the value of your spending using data from third parties or outdated stats supplied by the vendor. Regardless of the channel or tool you decide to use, measurement is essential. A professional marketer always knows the ROI from an advertising campaign. The professional job marketer should understand this and adjust spending accordingly. After all, if you’re spending money and not getting the results you need, you have options.

3 Bad Ways Youre Comparing Yourself to Others -The Muse

3 Bad Ways Youre Comparing Yourself to Others -The Muse 3 Bad Ways Youre Comparing Yourself to Others You’re surrounded by the competition. You may be working like a machine to build your career, but in this competitive world, there’s a grinding of metal on metal- a tension that makes you compare yourself to others. Colleagues with higher salaries. Peers with faster career advancement. Friends with better titles and greater freedom. It’s everywhere. And it’s inevitable. However, those comparisons always take away from your sense of self and never actually get you ahead, so it’s vital that you learn how to stop comparing your professional path to others’. To help you do that, here are three common beliefs that people often impose on themselves- and how you can turn your mindset around. Belief #1: “Other People Have All the Luck” Part of me wants to be Benedict Cumberbatch. He’s smart and funny and looks pretty good in a suit. He’s insanely talented and could fill 221b Baker Street to the roof with all his cash. He’s engaged to someone gorgeous, and he’s been cast as Dr. Strange in the Marvel cinematic universe (trust this geek- that’s huge). Lucky son of a gun. Why do I have to struggle in a small town in Kent, when I could be on the red carpet with Hollywood throwing money at me? The injustice of it all. The notion that others have all the luck, while you get none of the breaks, is nasty. More than a simple demonstration of envy, it’s envy without recognition of your own capability. It's envy without effort, with a sprinkling of ignorance. Luck isn’t a passive experience where the world simply gives you something on a silver platter; it requires you to make effort and notice an opportunity to make something happen. If I choose not to recognize Mr. Cumberbatch’s talent, his years of craft, or his love for what he does, then I’m really missing the point. Instead of looking at the guy who just landed the promotion or the girl who just scored some major praise and chalking it up to blind luck, look for opportunities for how you can do great work, too. Belief #2: “Other People Have Something I Don't” Other people are younger than me. Many are more talented. Some are better looking. A handful are funnier. But even though I know that, I sometimes catch myself thinking, Why are they so much better than me? I know you’ve had similar thoughts. You look at that guy in your department and wonder how everything comes so easily to him. You watch a woman lead a meeting or a workshop and convince yourself that you couldn’t do it as well as she did. You see the new employee and wonder if you were ever that talented and passionate. Everyone makes these comparisons, because we all fear that we’re not good enough. We all fear that we’ll be called out for our shortcomings. We all fear that we’ll screw up. But these aren’t healthy comparisons. It’s one thing to compare avocados for ripeness or bed linens for luxuriousness, but comparing your insides with someone else’s outsides is BS. Comparing your worst thoughts about yourself with the best possible perception of other people is crazy- like having a dream that you’re in a board meeting without your clothes on, and then getting a full-body tattoo of a business suit just in case it actually happens. So stop it. Face it: Some people are more talented than you, and some less so. Some have more experience, and some less so. Some have whiter shirts, and some less so. Those facts only detract from your capability if you think they do. Belief #3: “Other People Are More Successful” Success is a bizarre concept. It suggests that if you work and work and work, there’s a tipping point where things suddenly move from being “unsuccessful” to “successful.” It suggests that other people easily achieve this thing called success, while you have to work harder to attain it. And perhaps worst of all, it suggests that success is some kind of endgame, a place where you can sit back, stop trying so hard, and enjoy the good life. But the truth is, success is too often just a mirage; a constantly moving target that never really existed in the first place. To truly achieve success, you first have to unpack what it really means to you. For example, maybe you value being your own boss, creating something that matters, being part of something bigger than yourself, surrounding yourself with talented people, or any one of a million other things. Until you define your version of success, it will forever remain a comparative concept where others are always more successful than you. All of this leads us to one important question: What would it take for you to let go of the urge to compare yourself to others?

Law Firm Dress Code for Women

Law Firm Dress Code for Women Law Firm Dress Code for Women Appearances matter in the legal industry. The way you dress can help you command respect, inspire trust, and convey a polished, professional image. Your wardrobe is a tool you can use to win the trust of supervisors, clients, opposing counsel, and judges. You don’t have to spend your entire paycheck on looking good. Adhering to your firm’s dress code and following some simple guidelines can help women dress to impress. Business Attire for Women Many law firms adopted casual dress policies in years past, but the industry is trending toward more formal business attire again. Exercise good taste and common sense when youre selecting appropriate business attire, and err on the conservative side if youre unsure. Stick to a well-cut suit in a conservative shade such as black, brown, gray, or navy for interviews, court appearances, client meetings, presentations, and related events. Skirted suits were formerly the rule, but pantsuits are now acceptable. Skirts should fall at or below the knee. More Casual Events Pantsuits and dressy coordinated separates are acceptable for less formal business events and casual work days. Tailored jackets, tasteful sweaters, and pretty blouses paired with a skirt or dress pants are always good choices. Other acceptable clothing for women includes sweaters- lightweight, turtlenecks, crew, V-neck, and cardigans- and vests worn with short or long-sleeved shirts. Knit tops, collared polo shirts, and pants, including khakis, linen blends, silk or twills, will work, too. Both casual and business attire should be clean, pressed, and wrinkle-free, without holes or frayed areas. Unacceptable Work Clothing for Women You should never wear certain garments to work or to any business event, and theyre forbidden by most law firms and their dress code policies. These include tight, sheer, and low-cut clothing of any style, as well as sweatshirts, T-shirts, denim of any type or color, spaghetti straps, open backs, midriff tops, tank tops, halter tops, stretch pants, stirrup pants, jogging or warm-up suits, casual shorts, dress shorts, miniskirts, and Capri pants that end close to the knee. Avoid neon colors and tight-fitting clothing, especially anything that shows cleavage. Your Hairstyle A neat, well-groomed hairstyle is a must. Long and short styles are both appropriate for women, as long as the style is neat and professional. Classic hairdos such as a low ponytail or bun look polished and professional for longer hair. Avoid  wild, untamed or overly teased styles, and never dye your hair in unnatural colors such as pink or blue. Dont use excessive hairspray. Hair thats longer than waist-length and juvenile styles such as pigtails are out. These hairstyle faux pas detract from your image as a respected professional. Shoes Matter, Too Closed-toe heels or dress shoes in conservative colors such as black, brown, gray, tan, or almond are appropriate for formal business events. Hosiery is essential, and the shoes should be in good condition. Acceptable footwear for casual business attire includes thin- to medium-sole leather shoes and loafers, or any updated style with a low or stacked heel and open-toed or dress sandals.   Avoid  athletic shoes, moccasins, flip-flops, platform heels, and any footwear thats worn or in poor condition. Accessories Jewelry and accessories should be tasteful and limited. Hosiery should be sheer, tan, nude, or another light color.   Avoid  excessive perfume, extremely long nails, heavy makeup, and excessive, dangly, or cheap jewelry. Large, visible tattoos or piercings, and visible underwear such as bras and bra straps are inappropriate as well.

How She Overcame Hiring Stereotypes as a Mother Returning to Work

How She Overcame Hiring Stereotypes as a Mother Returning to Work How She Overcame Hiring Stereotypes as a Mother Returning to Work In January 2018 I hired my newest rockstar employee and I could not be happier with her performance. To me, she was just that â€" a rockstar employee. She crushed her interview, passed my test, and meshed perfectly with the team. I was shocked to hear the bias that she had been facing in her nearly 9-month job search. Below are some of the stereotypes that Kiara faced and how she was able to overcome them. “Hiring a Mother = Decreased Productivity” Time and time again, Kiara was told that being a mother would decrease her productivity at work. The assumption is that with kids, things come up that would take away from one’s work productivity or cause distractions. A kid could get sick and need a ride to the hospital, have a sporting event, need a diaper changed, etc. Many hiring managers believe that there is no way a stay-at-home mom could be effective working from home when she has two small children. How she overcame: Kiara had proved her worth from the very beginning. To explain how she was able to stand out from other applicants, I first have to tell you a bit about the job posting. Being that attention to detail was a huge requirement for the position, I snuck into the job description a line that said, “Bonus points if you find the typo in this job description”. Out of over 300 applicants (most of which did not have children), Kiara was one of five applicants to find the typo. This caused her to immediately be shortlisted for an interview. “Hiring a Mother = Outdated Skills” Time and time again, recruiters scan resumes using the 6-second rule, automatically eliminating talented individuals because of an “Employment Gap”. The assumption is that if someone has been unemployed for an extended period of time (usually over 1 year), they are not improving their skills or staying relevant with industry trends. Unfortunately, this method of screening has affected countless mothers looking to return to work. How she overcame: This is actually a freebie for any mother out there. Being a mother is not considered an employment gap. In fact, being a mother is more than a full-time job. Your official title as a mother is CEO of Your Household. Don’t be afraid to explain on your resume why you have been out of work. Kiara did, and it worked out great for her. Any hiring manager in his or her right mind will value someone who has been a full-time mother. Try something like this on your resume: Job Title: CEO Company Name: Santiago Household Description: Worked 100+ hour weeks with little sleep and very high maintenance clients (my children). Responsible for budgeting, planning, nurturing, customer service, and all household operations. “Hiring a Mother = Poor Culture Fit” It’s not uncommon for an employer to feel a bit awkward when hiring a mother. Is a mother going to blend in with the “work hard play hard” culture that the company has established? This happens more at startups than any other companies. For those employers who expect their team to live and breathe work, hiring a mother is not at the top of their agenda. A mother is likely to spend time with her family, rather than going out and getting drinks with the team after work. How she overcame: This can be a challenging objection to overcome and quite frankly, it is not worth overcoming. This is a sign you should move on and find a new company. At the end of the day, finding the right company to work for will make all the difference. Kiara found the right company to work for. She didn’t try to make it work at a company that did not truly appreciate her life outside of work. She did not have to hide anything or pretend to be someone she was not. She did her due diligence to make sure that our company culture was aligned with her own and I could not be happier to have her as a part of the team.

Learn Response Strategies for Negative Risks

Learn Response Strategies for Negative Risks Learn Response Strategies for Negative Risks Risk management on a project centers on being able to identify what might go wrong. These are the negative risks, otherwise known as threats to your project. It’s important to identify them and record them in your risk register so you know what might be coming round the corner to interfere with your chances of completing your project successfully. But identifying them is only the beginning. Once you have done that, you also need to work out what to do about them. You do have options. There are four strategies for responding to negative risks: Avoid, Transfer, Mitigate and Accept. Let’s look at those now. Avoid When you avoid a risk, you stop it happening totally. Worried that a particular feature on your software won’t go down well in the international market? Switch it off. That’s an example of avoiding a risk completely: you put a plan in place to make sure that it could never happen. You can’t do this with all risks, but it’s a handy approach to shutting down trouble before it happens where you can. Transfer Transferring a risk means shifting the responsibility for it on to someone else. The best example of this is an insurance policy. When you buy an insurance policy, you shift some of the impact of the risk on to the insurance firm, and they would be liable if the risk did happen. You can also write ‘transfer of risk’ clauses into your contracts with suppliers. Get legal advice, though, before you do this  so that you are sure that you are transferring the right risk and that you’ll be getting the outcome you want. Find out more about appropriate contracting. Mitigate Mitigation is probably the most common risk response strategy. It is where you come up with actions to make the risk less of a problem if it does happen. For example, if you have a project risk around the testing phase taking too long, you can add more testers to your resource pool. The risk still might happen, but at least you’ve done something to lessen the potential fallout. Accept Your final option for dealing with a negative risk is to simply accept it. Sometimes problems happen, and you’ve analyzed this one and decided that you aren’t going to do anything about it. Being able to adapt (if it does happen) is one of the top skills for project managers. Accepting that a risk might happen is not the same as not making a decision or putting your head in the sand. You are actively, and with the support of your project sponsor and senior management, making the decision to do nothing. It’s the riskiest, in many respects, but you can take that calculated risk based on what it would cost you in terms of time and effort to put a different kind of risk response strategy in place. It may be far too costly to implement any other kind of risk management strategy, given the impact that this risk would have. If the chance of a risk happening is tiny, or the impact it will have if it does happen is very small, then doing nothing is a perfectly acceptable solution. These four options span a wide spectrum of risk response so you should be able to find an approach here that suits the level of risk that you are prepared to take as a project team. The most important thing is to put together your action plan and work through the steps you identify. Then if the risk does happen, you have your Plan B already sorted out, and you can navigate through the problem easily.

Why being kind to yourself is the first step toward personal growth

Why being kind to yourself is the first step toward personal growth Why being kind to yourself is the first step toward personal growth Leah Weiss  is a professor at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, and the author of the recently released  How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, and Embrace the Daily Grind.  Shauna Shapiro  is a professor at Santa Clara University, a clinical psychologist, and an internationally recognized expert in mindfulness. The two recently sat down to discuss the power of  self-compassion to help us  build better habits, reduce stress, and strengthen our relationships.This conversation has been edited and condensed. To listen to the full version, click the link below.Leah:  What’s one thing that you’re working on right now that you’re finding interesting or surprising?Shauna:  The importance of self-kindness and self-compassion in mindfulness. In my work with thousands of people, I’ve been stunned to discover that people are talking about the same thing: this sense of self-judgment, of not being good enough. They beat themselves up in this critical way t o try to get better or improve.But I’m learning that that approach simply doesn’t work. Not only does it feel terrible, but when we feel shamed or judged - especially when it’s our own shame and self-judgment - the parts of the brain that have to do with learning, growth, and change shut down. We’re actually freezing ourselves in the very behaviors that most need to change.Leah:  There’s so much belief built into the power of self-criticism and self-flagellation. I’m curious, when you take this information to people, how do they react?Shauna:  [I’m met with] a lot of resistance, because it’s [so] counterintuitive. People think that if they’re compassionate and kind with themselves, it’s going to make them soft, or self-indulgent, or less motivated. That’s why the science is so important, because we found that self-compassion actually makes you more motivated and  more resilient to setbacks, and better [able] to take care of yourself. Instead of being self-ind ulgent, we find that people who are compassionate with themselves actually eat healthier and exercise more because they care about themselves.Leah:  I love your use of the term “resistance” here, because this is a place where I also see a lot of resistance come up with people. They know that they’re struggling with self-compassion. They know that their self-criticism is making them miserable at work and in their personal lives. When you bring this idea of resistance into mindfulness practice, are there nuances for how you think about it?“Self-compassion actually makes you more motivated and more resilient to setbacks.”Shauna:  Yeah, that’s a really good point. When you introduce mindfulness and you start talking about self-compassion, you don’t just shove it down someone’s throat. What I’m learning more and more is that this is not an all-or-none game. In my practice, I don’t say, “Okay, you need to be perfectly kind, or perfectly relaxed.” I say, “You know , just [try to be] 5% softer, 5% kinder, 5% more trusting in [yourself].”When I work with my patients, it’s very much about relaxing this idea that things are supposed to be perfect, and really opening to what it is. For me, that has been the best avenue into introducing this idea of self-compassion.Leah:  We’re both moms - how do you think about this in your parenting? Any hacks you can share?Shauna:  It’s such an important question. In fact, I’m doing a lot more work now with parents - and mothers in particular - because the amount of self-judgment and self-criticism and shame that we experience as parents is greater than any I’ve ever found. I think because we care so much, we hold ourselves to these [impossibly high] standards. It really isn’t helping us be better parents, and it’s certainly not modeling for our children how we want to be.The hack that’s been helping me is recognizing that I’m not going to be perfect. When I make a mistake with my son, and I feel the pain and the shame, the first thing I do is recognize that the reason I feel pain is because I love him so much, and because I care. If I was really a terrible mom, I actually wouldn’t care. The pain reminds me of how much I love him.Then, instead of wasting time judging and shaming and feeling guilty, I use that energy to repair [things] with him. I’m not letting myself off the hook, but I’m not spiraling into mother guilt. I’m seeing clearly - which is really what mindfulness is about - so that I can respond wisely and compassionately and say, “Shoot. I didn’t handle that well.”The other piece that has been really important for me is to have stronger boundaries, and to recognize that our children need a hierarchy. They need the parent to be a parent. You can have a loving hierarchy, which is what I really recommend, but there’s still a hierarchy where we’re creating boundaries to keep them safe. For me, it’s been finding that balance where I’m n ot an overly controlling helicopter mom, but I’m also not overly lenient and like, “Whatever, you can just take care of yourself.” Our children need to know that we’re keeping them safe and protecting them.Leah:  I love your use of the word “boundaries” there. As a working mom who wants to spend time with my kids, I had a habit of feeling guilty about self-care time. Like just saying, “I need a break,” and reading on a weekend afternoon was something I literally never did until the last 12 months.Since I’ve started practicing it despite my guilt, I’m such a better parent, and I’m doing such a better service to myself [and my kids], and modeling what I want them to see. I saw the guilt for years, but couldn’t get over that hurdle to actually have that boundary. I’m curious what your take is on this.Shauna:  It’s a really good question, and it’s true for all of us, not just parents. There’s this sense that self-care is somehow selfish, or that it should be your last priority. And yet we find that when you take care of yourself, you are a better parent, a better employee, a better teacher, a better sister, a better lover. It’s not selfish when you understand that by taking care of yourself, you are able to give much more fully.As parents, it really is through our modeling that we teach our children. I want my son to know what it’s like to feel joy, and pleasure, and ease, and a sense of an authentic “yes.” And if I’m modeling being stressed, and overwhelmed, and kind of a martyr all the time, he’s picking up that that’s what life is about.What I want him to actually feel from me is this sense of wonder, and curiosity, and joy. The only way that’s going to be authentic is if I’m actually living that. Whatever we’re practicing in our daily lives, that’s what’s getting stronger, that’s what we’re growing, and that’s what we’re modeling to our children.I’m a big, big fan of self-care, and I think it ha s to be authentic self-care. What I try to teach people is how to listen for your true yeses and your true nos, because sometimes self-care is saying “no” and sometimes it’s saying “yes.” I think people have lost touch with that knowing, that felt sense, that embodied wisdom where it’s, “Yes, this is what I want,” and, “No, this is not what I want.”Leah:  One of the things that’s striking to me is the power of having community, having the opportunity to talk about these dynamics that we have going on in the background as we’re moving through our day.“Research shows that the mind wanders 47% of the time on average.”Shauna:  You’re talking about this sense that we’re not alone, right? We feel so alone in our guilt, and our self-judgment, and our sense that, “I’m not doing it right. I’ve got something wrong with me. I’m not okay.” When you start to hear that everyone feels like this, and that none of us are alone in our suffering, there’s thi s common humanity where we are connected. When we start to feel our connection, the only thing that makes sense is kindness, right? Toward each other, and toward ourselves.Leah:  When you look at the landscape of mindfulness training, research, and practice, what are we getting wrong? What are we overlooking? What are the misconceptions you would want to articulate for people that are interested in these topics?Shauna:  One of the misconceptions is that mindfulness is just about attention. It’s not. It’s about how you pay attention. When I see people practicing mindfulness, they often get so rigid and tight by trying to be present and do it right that they end up practicing pathways of striving, and self-judgment, and impatience. As we know from neuroplasticity, whatever we practice grows stronger, so they’re actually carving out neuropathways that maybe aren’t that conducive to happiness. [Instead,] we need to pay kind attention,  compassionate attention, curious attention, open attention.The other thing is that a lot of people think that they’re supposed to sit down and just get it [immediately]. They say, “Oh, I’m really terrible at meditation. It’s not for me - my mind wanders off all the time.” I say, “Well, everyone’s mind wanders.” Research shows that the mind wanders 47% of the time on average. So if your mind’s wandering half the time, you’re normal. This idea that it’s supposed to feel a certain way, or that you’re supposed to be always happier if you meditate, [is wrong].Mindfulness is about being with what is in this kind, open way. Sometimes when I’m meditating, griefs comes up, or fear, or anger. What I’m learning to do is hold that in this loving embrace, in this kind attention, instead of feeling like, “No, I’m doing it wrong.” These nuances are really what make mindfulness transformational.Leah:  I love these points that you’re making. One of the things I observe in the way that mindfulness is being characterized is a really heavy  emphasis on meditation  and a conflation of the ideas of mindfulness and meditation. I’m a huge fan of meditation, but I also think that there’s a problem with that, because it undercuts the questions about carrying mindfulness into work, into relationships, into interactions - which is where it’s really going to have an impact.Shauna:  Yeah, I think we do need to tease apart what is mindfulness in daily life, and what is mindfulness meditation practice. Mindfulness meditation is like when you go to the gym - I go to the gym and I lift weights, but lifting weights isn’t really why I’m doing it. I’m doing it so that I can go home and pick my son up, or carry groceries.[Similarly,] we sit and do meditation practice to strengthen our capacity to be mindful, but mindfulness is so much bigger than meditation. Mindfulness is a way of being from moment to moment, and that’s why my definition [of it is about] intentionally paying attention w ith this attitude of kindness and curiosity.So we have these three elements - intention, attention, and attitude - and we can bring those to any part of our lives. I can bring it to mindful eating - what’s my intention? To bring health and nourishment to my body. Can I do it with an open, curious, kind attention? We can bring this into the workplace, into the board meetings, into our communications. The key is remembering to be mindful. What I find in my own life is that when I meditate, I have a much greater capacity to bring it into my moment-to-moment experience, but [meditation] certainly isn’t required.Leah:  Any closing thoughts or observations before we sign off?Shauna:  One of the things that has completely shifted my practice is really understanding the science behind self-compassion and shame. I just want to reiterate that when we judge and criticize and shame ourselves, the parts of the brain that have to do with learning and growth shut down.So I want to invite pe ople to bring just 5% more kindness, 5% more compassion to themselves, and start to notice how you speak with yourself. If we want to be kinder, be happier, eat healthier, exercise more, be a better parent - anything we want, it’s through kindness and self-compassion that we change.This article first appeared on Heleo.

6 Secret Ways Companies Are Trying to Prevent You From Quitting

6 Secret Ways Companies Are Trying to Prevent You From Quitting 6 Secret Ways Companies Are Trying to Prevent You From Quitting We’re going to let you in on a little secret - companies are working very, very hard to keep employees happy. That’s right. In addition to recruiting top talent, HR and even the CEO are meeting and brainstorming and strategizing on ways to keep you employed at the company. After all, they’ve invested a lot in you and you’re pretty awesome. And they’d hate for you to leave. Plus, filling positions in a candidate-driven market is more expensive and takes longer for companies. According to research , it takes an average of 52 days to fill an open position, up from 48 days in 2011, and U.S. companies spend $4,000 on average to fill an open position. Therefore, you’re a hot commodity and keeping you engaged is a a top priority. Here are 6 major ways that companies are working to retain you and prevent you from quitting. “We have appreciation recognition programs that thank our people for their hard work and their extra effort that they put in. Working at the Cheesecake Factory is not the easiest job. We are the busiest restaurant concepts around. You have to want to work hard here but we also want to make sure they know how appreciated they are so we go above and beyond in our appreciation or recognition programs.” - Dina Barnasse, CHRO of The Cheesecake Factory “We want our leaders to find ways of motivating and inspiring their teams, reduce the noise in their work and help remove blockers. If you are a manager or leading at any level at SpaceX, we stress that your team is not there to serve you. You are there to serve your team and help them do the best possible job for the company. This applies to me most of all. Leaders are also expected to work harder than those who report to them and always make sure that their needs are taken care of before yours, thus leading by example.” - Elon Musk, CEO of Spacex & Tesla “One of the HR programs that we have is something called Insights, where we give every employee a personality test and it explains what type of energy they lead with. Are they analytical? Are they happy-go-lucky? Are they incredibly competitive? Etc. The reason that we do that is we encourage everybody, especially managers, to change their communication style to adapt to how the person they’re communicating with wants to be communicated [with]… I look for people who are humble enough that they can change their communication style to adapt to whom they are communicating with.” - Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Zillow Group “We measure the staff’s engagement and we help to identify the areas where we’re weak or where we need to do better. Those are some of the things that I couldn’t do without HR . . .[HR] is always looking for how to do more for the staff, how to thank them and what we can do as executives to make The Cheesecake Factory even better.” - David Overton, CEO of The Cheesecake Factory “Everyone at our company knows I have an open door policy and that my approach is firm but fair. People know where they stand with me â€" there are no surprises. I think that helps foster trust with my team.” - Pam Nicholson, CEO of Enterprise Holdings “Yesterday I was in Las Vegas speaking to about 500 of our store directors, specialists, and district managers sharing with them where we’re going, what I’m excited about, what my Top 10 favorite products are. It’s one of my favorites because I walk through the audience, talk about product and sort of have my own Oprah moment where I’m throwing out product to them. Then I spent the next few hours just walking the halls, taking selfies with them. I’m talking to them. I’m getting feedback. I think they respond to that sort of authentic leadership of I do care. I do want to listen. I do want to hear from them. I take action when they tell me something is not right. There is an opportunity or they share an idea. I truly appreciate the conversations and I think that comes across in an authentic way.” â€" Calvin McDonald, CEO of Sephora “We share stories of the extraordinary people we have here and their actions that we hope will instill pride for other people. I know externally people may or may not be aware of the impact that this restaurant and the people on our restaurant can have on people every single day. It’s more that we can make sure that our staff knows about what they did to make a difference for our guests or for one another. Then of course that adds real meaning to their work and to the pride that we all feel. We have something that we call wow story for example where it’s just like what it says they wowed us with what they did and those we share at big meetings. We can’t find enough reasons to celebrate and have fun and make sure that we use every opportunity we can to build camaraderie and to build teamwork.” - Dina Barnasse, CHRO of The Cheesecake Factory “Bloomberg likes to hire people who are smart, hard-working and collaborative - and who have an interesting background. We like those who have faced adversity, but persevered anyway.” - Ken Cooper, Global Head of Human Resources, Bloomberg LP “One of the most rewarding moments for me was when, nearly a year ago, we announced Deloitte’s Paid Family Leave Program, which allows our employees up to 16 weeks of fully paid family leave to support a range of life events impacting them and their families. We had been studying family leave over the course of last year, and we wanted it to focus on the life cycle of our people, from the moment they join our organization to the day they retire. So, I said we need to have something that is more inclusive than just parental leave. We did analysis after analysis and came up with this inclusive model- a program for women and men for taking care of family members. It’s really about how we come together as a Deloitte family to support each other through both the good and hard times.” - Cathy Engelbert, CEO of Deloitte “We’re a meritocracy â€" we give leadership opportunities to employees whose measured performance reveals both ability and talent. We use that approach to create a fundamentally consistent culture across our nearly 10,000 locations around the world. No matter where in the world our employees work, they all know and embrace the fact that performance garners results.” - Pam Nicholson, CEO of Enterprise Holdings “Bloomberg is a place where there are no titles and no offices, and everyone has the same sized desk. We’ve invested a lot in our offices to make them empowering spaces in which our employees can enjoy coming to work. Of course, we need some structure, but our workplace is open so ideas can flow freely. Mike [Bloomberg] has also shaped our culture into one that values innovation. We operate in an ever-changing market, so we must constantly grow and evolve to stay ahead. And to do so, we all work very hard.” - Ken Cooper, Global Head of Human Resources, Bloomberg LP “I try to make sure that everyone that comes to work here has what they need to complete their job successfully every day. We have 16,000 employees and they all come to work believing that they run Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Every day they can go home knowing that they delivered on the promise that they started the day with - to help patients and their families, to engage in bringing a new therapy…. to teach interns and residents and nursing students what it is to care optimally for cancer patients. What is really great is the ownership that everyone has for the individual part of our mission that they oversee. My job is to help solve the problems when people don’t have what they need to provide optimal care. It’s really making sure that we distribute the resources so that everybody can do [optimally] at their job.” - Dr. Craig Thompson, President/CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering “Culture is incredibly important to us - I believe it’s our most valuable asset. When most people describe company culture, they tend to focus on a company’s perks, such as free food, or their performance, such as revenue growth or stock prices allocation. I prefer to focus on how decisions get made as the best exemplification of a company’s culture. Decisions at Zillow Group are decentralized, meritocratic, census-oriented and data-driven. We have a shared mission that is well understood by our employees, and we have core values that people abide by. And as long as their behavior is driving toward that mission and consistent with our core values, they feel empowered to make decisions with minimal executive oversight. It’s a pretty decentralized decision-making culture by design.” - Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Zillow Group “We obviously all have roles and defined roles in the hotel and in the corporate environment. [If] people wake up every day thinking, “I’m just coming in to do that role” as opposed to “I’m part of this bigger purpose,” I just don’t think they end up as motivated and as inspired which means that they’re not serving our customers as well. They’re not ultimately allowing us to create the kind of opportunities that we otherwise could create.” - Christopher Nassetta, CEO of Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc. “We have to have an expertise [in] research and we have to understand 16,000 people come work here to fulfill [our mission], and it has to have the organizational abilities to support all the structures of a large company. We’ve got to have HR. We have got to have retirement benefits. We have got to understand that people come to work. They will work very hard on our mission, but ultimately they hope to earn a salary and to get personal satisfaction in a way that they can be proud of what they have done and still put a roof over their family’s heads and be able to put food on the table.” - Dr. Craig Thompson, President/CEO of Memorial Sloan Kettering
