sEE HOW WE THINK

While the mental health of employees has been a concern within the HR community for some time, the COVID-19 pandemic has cast an important new focus on this topic. We wanted to share thoughts and strategies to ensure employees are getting the support they need

As companies navigate through the pandemic and seek to distinguish themselves in a competitive employee landscape, one of the most important HR topics is how to develop and maintain a strong company culture.

Showing appreciation for a job well done has become more difficult during COVID-19 and remote work. To help with this, we’ve outlined some techniques to help managers evolve the ways they recognize their teams.

Michael Brown, VP of Talent and Culture at Cogo Labs joined us to talk about his approach to employee engagement, DEI, and employer brand. His experience as a previous senior HR leader in multiple technology companies gives him a unique perspective.

Benson Executive Search is celebrating the start of our third year and wanted to mark this milestone by expressing gratitude to our clients and candidates – past and present – our business partners and the HR community at large. We are so proud of all of the work we have been doing, and excited for what’s to come!

In my work, I have had the opportunity to listen to hundreds of people share their career journey stories. I hear a common theme: Literally all leaders credit a former boss or senior colleague for giving them that “lucky break” by nudging them into stretch roles which helped get them to where they are today.

Our new website and branding mirror our philosophy for what our client experience is: Innovative, comprehensive, and strategic. We will be posting regularly to a new blog where we will feature insights and commentary on the evolving nature of HR, talent, and executive search markets.
