With unemployment rates at historic lows , organizations have to not only think about filling open requisitions, they also have to develop a long-term approach to staffing. Frankly, if an organization waits until they have an opening before they start strategizing their sources, it will be too late. The recruiting team will always be taking a reactionary approach to staffing.

According to Hireology research, the average time to hire at a dealership is 26 days. And of the 26 days it takes a dealership to hire a new employee, on average, nearly half the time – 10 days – is spent waiting for someone to review the application. You wouldn’t let a customer lead go unanswered for 10 days and you should take the same approach to hiring.

There’s a common saying out there that “ culture eats strategy ” for breakfast (or lunch). The idea being that company culture drives the way strategies are created. Totally makes sense. What I struggle with is where leadership fits into this conversation. On one hand, the company’s leadership helps shape organizational culture. On the other hand, culture supports and develops leaders.

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article about Kronos’ transition from a traditional time-off policy to an unlimited time-off program (called myTime). On some level, I like to think of the concept of unlimited time off as Paid Time Off 2.0. Decades ago, organizations had vacation, paid sick time, and holidays. Then they decided to merge all these categories together and give employees one balance called Paid Time Off (PTO).
