Remote Work, Candidate Pools and Attrition
Flashback to early 2020 and the beginning of the pandemic. Organizations rushed to adapt to a world that changed seemingly overnight. At first, it was a steep learning curve for everyone. Traditionally held face-to-face meetings took place over Zoom and nearly all travel, even into the office, was put on hold. In some industries, it hampered productivity and even eliminated jobs. The already challenging responsibility of management became even more difficult at a distance. As time went on, office culture settled into a new rhythm and the workforce saw some positives from this change.

Are You Waiting on Moxie?
A friend and mentor once said, “If you wait for confidence, you’ll be in the chair for a long time.” This resonated with me, and I find myself reflecting on her words often.
In both our personal and professional lives, there are countless moments when we hesitate to take that crucial first step because we don't feel ready. It's natural to fear failure and the unknown, but in doing so, we often miss out on incredible, life-changing opportunities.
At Bryant Group, moxie is one of our core values. We believe in being courageous and daring, willing to take risks and embrace uncertainty. We run with scissors, metaphorically speaking, understanding that sometimes progress requires a leap of faith.
Are You Prioritizing “Keeping” Over “Hiring?”
Are you in a job where taking all of your PTO is encouraged? Or frowned upon? As Program Director at the Indiana University Alumni Association I took all of my PTO each year. Yep. All of it. This one thing made a significant impact on my professional success, my personal relationships and my physical health.
At Bryant Group, we do not have a set amount of PTO – which in actuality can make PTO a bit more tricky to navigate. In the end, it comes down to the same thing that it does everywhere – what is the culture and expectation from leadership about taking personal time off?
