Congratulations! You have just made a successful career transition to that dream job. Making sure your salary and benefits are as lucrative as possible is as much a part of effective career management as outstanding performance.

Should a company pay attention to its employer brand? Only if it wants to attract the highest-caliber workforce, strengthen employee engagement, reduce workforce turnover, and maintain a sterling reputation among its critical stakeholders.

Successful career management begins with networking. Done effectively and consistently over time, networking builds the relationships that can help you land that dream job, make a career transition faster and easier, build your professional expertise, and keep you “in the know” at your current company.

RiseSmart had a fantastic year in 2012, and we’re off to a fast start again in 2013. We are not only growing with respect to personnel but in our tailored business offerings as well. Now is the right time to promote several key individuals at RiseSmart, strengthening and solidifying our leadership team as we prepare to tackle even bigger goals in the years ahead.

Wait, what? What in the world is social media attrition?

Social media attrition is the risk of losing your employees through social media marketing and professional networks. Companies often reach out to qualified individuals through LinkedIn and other such professional networks to offer the opportunity to interview for an available position.
