NCET Biz Tips: Criticism is Not Constructive: Try feedback Instead

February 15, 2021 by NCET Member

How do people react when you offer to give them “constructive criticism”? What do you notice about their body language, tone of voice, and overall demeanor? Do they seem open, engaged, and eager to hear what you have to say, or do they seem closed-off, defensive, and like they are dreading the interaction?

People often brace for impact when others offer criticism, even if you call it “constructive.” Part of the reason is rooted in a simple exploration of the definition of criticism.

NCET Biz Tips: 5 Ways to Set Up Remote Employees for Success

February 8, 2021 by NCET Member

In 1998, I proposed something unheard of to my then-boss: let me work from home. Preparing for my son’s birth, I lined up in-home care for my newborn, created a home office, and secured the necessary technology, I carefully laid out my plan for how I could ensure results while creating a work-life integration for me. “Give me 3 months to prove this” I requested; and it worked. Twenty-two years later, I am still an advocate for the premise that you don’t have to be in an office in order to meet with success.

January 18, 2021 by NCET Member

We have all heard the term “set it and forget it” applied to various scenarios. Your business should not be one of them!

The goal of having a business is to create a business that is an asset, not a job. This means that you can work “on” your business not “in” your business. If you can reach this elevated state within your business, it is important to make sure you do not take your eyes too far off the ball.

Here are some things that you should be looking at in your business at least every 90 days.

NCET Biz Tips: Human Resources Reflections for 2020

January 11, 2021 by NCET Member

Melissa Marsh

What a year 2020 has been! I have been thinking fondly of January 2020 because I didn’t know it yet, but I was much younger and oh so naïve! This year has certainly aged me while providing important life lessons. Thank you, COVID!

Let’s start simply by pointing out that the CDC website was one of the most used tools in HR this year. I’m not sure that I even knew the website existed back in January when I was so young and fresh.
