Open Enrollment is Coming: Are Your Employees Prepared? It's that time of year again—open enrollment season! We know it’s about as popular as an all-day meeting without snacks, but it’s crucial to ensure your employees aren’t just clicking through their benefit options like they’re agreeing to another software update. The reality is that nearly 7 in 10 employees spend 30 minutes or less reviewing their benefits, and many just stick with last year’s choices. Spoiler alert: that’s not always the best move! At Shades of Grey HR, we believe that with a little humor, a dash of storytelling, and consistent communication, we can turn this annual chore into something your employees actually care about (well, almost). If your HR team feels like they’re swimming upstream in a river of forms and confusion, we’re here to throw you a lifeline. 📞 Contact us at 303-513-7788 to learn how we can help you navigate open enrollment with ease.#OpenEnrollment #EmployeeBenefits #HR #ShadesOfGreyHR

🔍 How to Avoid Bad Hires: Tips to Fine-Tune Your Hiring Process Bad hires happen – sometimes they’re not as qualified as they seemed, sometimes they quit unexpectedly, and sometimes they just don't fit in. While you can’t prevent every regrettable hire, you can reduce the chances by improving your hiring process. From writing job postings that attract the right candidates to conducting interviews that reveal the real skills and values of applicants, every step matters. ✅ Craft Targeted Job Postings: Focus on attracting the right talent, not the most talent. Be clear about the skills and knowledge needed for the role while avoiding vague language that may mislead candidates. ✅ Conduct Insightful Interviews: Ask tough, specific questions about past experiences and be honest about job challenges. Encourage open communication among your interviewers and avoid going with the flow—be critical and thorough. ✅ Make Thoughtful Decisions: If no one stands out, consider starting fresh or adapting the role to fit the best candidate. Use key criteria like cultural alignment and growth potential to make your final decision. Fine-tune your hiring process to reduce stress and make smarter decisions. 🎯 You won’t get it right every time, but you can set yourself up for success. applicants' real skills and value#Hiring #Recruitment #JobPostings #HRTips #AvoidBadHires #InterviewSkills #TalentAcquisition

Can you love what you do and still find it tiring and frustrating? Yes Can you be honest, direct and constructive, without being penalized? Yes Can we collaborate and listen to different perspectives but still make our own decisions? Yes Welcome to the world of HR - where we don't live in absolutes- we live in ambiguity. There are two sides to a coin for a reason- we can look at and approach things in different ways. Telling people there is one way of thinking or doing things in HR is a fallacy. I do this for a living because I'm a realist- and I like being real about what works and what is challenging. Let's continue to de-bunk myths that exist about HR. They only seek to hurt our profession/function.#humanresources
