One day it's a covert statement to a mother returning to work after maternity leave. Another day it's a lingering gaze at an employee enjoying a culturally rich meal. These microaggressions (or sometimes macroaggressions) can take an employee from a confident, high-performer to one that feels insecure being themselves at work. Your employees engage with people with different ideas and feel most comfortable and valued when they can work without losing their cultural, racial, and gender identity. While most employers know this, why have workplace racism and sexism often been neglected?

The Effects of Workplace Racism and Sexism

Employers must address workplace racism and sexism to create safe and inclusive work environments. Educate and nurture your current employees, and aim to recruit and diversify your workforce to reduce racism and sexism in the workplace. Post a free job on Get to start building a more diverse team!

As the job market remains highly competitive, we have seen a surge in "rage applying." This is when candidates apply to multiple jobs, often without considering whether they are truly interested in the role. Rage applying goes hand-in-hand with quiet quitting. Often, employees want to entertain the thoughts and feelings of leaving their job, but they aren't necessarily serious about leaving yet. Meanwhile, other employees engaging in this trend are actually trying to find a better role. As a recruiter, it can be hard to identify who are the real applicants in a sea full of quiet quitters, but understanding rage applying and identifying red flags will certainly help.

When Rage Applying Strikes: How to Identify Unserious Candidates

Rage applying is a surge in job candidates applying to multiple jobs without considering if they are interested. Employers can identify who is serious about the role by looking for red flags such as generic job applications, inconsistencies, and lack of preparation.

So… you've finally decided to let one of your employees go. Drafting the paperwork and corresponding with HR is the easy part, but knowing how to fire an employee is where things get complicated. In fact, it is one of the most challenging conversations to have in the workplace. However, it must be done, and it must be done with poise and tact. Not only should you keep your state law in mind, but you should also consider your former employee's wellbeing.

How to Fire an Employee

Firing an employee can be a difficult task, but you need to do it in a way that respects their privacy, dignity and wellbeing. You should have an open conversation beforehand and provide warnings. Be sure to have a private space for the meeting and have a witness present. Leave space for questions and be prepared to answer them. Aim to be supportive and transparent.

When your dream job posts, will you be ready? What if that dream job was in a faraway city or a different continent…would you move for it? Most of us have dreamed about what it would be like to accept a job in a new place at one time or another. But when it comes to actually making a move, it’s usually the logistical details that give us pause. The key to job searching in a different location is to have a plan.

How to Get a Job in a New City - Best Tips to Follow

Relocating to a new city can open up new career opportunities and help you gain important skills. It's important to plan ahead and have a plan, including researching job markets, updating your resume, networking, and planning your timeline. Get ahead of the game by researching cities to make sure you can afford the cost of living and target companies to make sure they are profitable.

Your company probably has many policies in place – anti-discrimination policies, equal opportunity policies, ethics policies, and so on. However, it is important to re-evaluate whether you have a policy that covers every situation. Say for instance one of your employees submit a complaint in good faith to their supervisor. To their surprise, they are met with retaliation, such as demotion, defamation, or even termination. 

What is a Policy of Non-Retaliation & How to Create One

Creating a non-retaliation policy is essential for any company, protecting employees who come forward to initiate a complaint. It ensures that everyone feels safe and can put a stop to retaliatory actions. It also helps protect against lawsuits, preserve employer brand, and create a safe work environment.

Terminating an employee is an inevitable part of doing business. Whether you’re re-structuring your department or you’ve identified a few employees who’re not living up to your expectations, letting people go is necessary for keeping your workforce healthy and thriving.&nbsp;

What to Say When Terminating an Employee

Termination is never easy, but being prepared and professional can help make the process smoother. Understand the employee's situation and express gratitude for their service. Prepare a meeting and communicate clearly, while allowing space for questions. Show respect and leave on good terms, as you never know when you'll meet again.
