Question 1: Last Friday, I took my staff out for drinks after work. I had a few too many and kind of made a fool of myself and may have said some inappropriate comments, nothing off-color or of a harassing nature but I definitely feel embarrassed. How do I save face with my staff?
Question 2: We recently hired a few people that have not worked out due to either personality fit or skill set. These candidates interviewed very well but when they got on the job they were less than stellar and frankly just not the right fit for our culture. In the future, how can we insure we are hiring the right person? Visit https://www.naylornetwork.com/via-nwl/articles/indexV2.asp?aid=181363&issueID=26474 to view the full article online. |
