It’s something that all employers crave yet the way to achieve it is so simple…
Whether it’s from their interns or employees, it’s a sure-fire way to boost morale and get stuff done! But how to achieve it? This week we’ve been thinking about The Simplifiers culture of appreciation and how this has led to us being a motivated and productive team.
Now, I’m sure we’re all read one article or another which tells us the classical music is the answer to all our problems. Whether it’s getting stuff done, getting up, going to sleep, improving your intelligence… the list goes ON.
Well. What if you don’t like classical music? Does this mean you’re doomed to a life of unproductive, sleepless days?
The stress of finding an internship…the time-consuming process of writing your resume…and then figuring out where to send it…the nerves felt during the interview…am I saying the right things, am I asking the right questions?
The pressure is mounting. The competition is fierce. The whole thing can be super stressful.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
