Need HR Templates?
It's overwhelming being the 1 or 2 people in charge of all HR-related issues in an organization.
You are often asked to create documents and you don't know where to go to find them.
That's why I created the HR Templates bundle - to give you everything you need and to be able to fully customize these to your organization.
Check them out below and let me know what you think!
In this newsletter, we highlight one thing we love, see as innovative, and find interesting within the workplace.

WHERE WE SEE INNOVATION:

It will be interesting to watch how virtual reality and the metaverse are used to engage and interact with candidates throughout the recruitment cycle.
This article goes deep into some innovative ideas for engaging with potential new hires.
