Diverse Workplaces are Flexible Workplaces
ByMike McBride September 4, 2023September 2, 2023 Reading Time: 3 minutes

Eliminate all that time spent commuting, hassling with after-school, Summer Break, sick day childcare, and dealing with office politics, and you just became a massively more attractive place for moms, let alone all women and other people who would benefit from the job being something other than 8-5 in one, singular, location for everyone, every day.

Again, you broaden your labor pool, which broadens your diversity efforts. It’s not rocket science. The more “rules” you have in place, like a full-time return to office policy, the more people will find it difficult to work for you, and the smaller pool of candidates you’ll be choosing from.

Notes or No Notes During an Interview?
ByMike McBride June 22, 2023June 22, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Maybe instead of telling interviewees that they should be doing immense company research, and practicing their questions and responses so that they don’t ever have to refer to notes we should be calling out interviewers who do exactly zero prep work before an interview. Instead of making excuses about how busy hiring managers are and how we can’t possibly expect them to do any research into a candidate when they are interviewing so many, we should consider how many interviews the candidate is doing and how many companies they are researching. If the hiring manager can have my resume and any notes in front of him during the entire interview, why can’t I have notes too?

Remote Work Hurts Young Workers? There’s an Important Caveat
ByMike McBride April 30, 2023April 30, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

We expect our managers not to be biased when it comes to the people who work for them regarding race, gender, and sexuality. Why do we accept that proximity bias cannot be overcome, so you’ll have to come to the office?

The conclusion to be drawn from this research is that we need better managers. Period.
