  • How to Give Honest, Actionable Feedback That Moves the Needle

    Most companies are doing their mid-year reviews and giving their employees feedback in the process. It is so important when you’re giving your employees feedback that you’re giving them honest and actionable feedback that guarantees results. This week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast is about how to give honest, actionable feedback that moves the needle. 

    In this episode, Brian talks shares 3 reasons why most feedback fails to work and what we need to do to make it work.  

    The feedback formula Brian covers in this episode includes:

    1. The Question: By asking, “How did this go compared to your expectations?” we let the other person share their point of view first, thus, reducing the chance of putting them on the defensive and see if you have shared and aligned expectations and if they are seeing the situation through a realistic lens.
    2. The Observation: Using the ‘when you ___, I experienced ___, and that resulted in ___’ methodology to act as a mirror for the other person to see their actions 
    3. The Response: It’s critical to make sure that the feedback you’ve given was received and understood. You can do so by asking the following questions: “What are the key aspects of the feedback that you are taking away from this conversation?” and “What are the next steps you are considering based on this feedback?”

  • Avoid Compliance Creep with an HR Audit

    What often happens is when you first start hiring employees, your paperwork is accurate and you have a compliant HR foundation for your business. Over time, as you grow and get busier, this compliance may start to slip and what we call compliance creep starts to set in. 

    That being said, while you’re doing your mid-year reviews, it’s best practice to also do an HR audit to keep your business in compliance. This week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast is about how to avoid compliance creep with a DIY HR audit. 

    In this episode, Brian talks about how often you should do a compliance audit within your business and the 10 categories your compliance audit should cover. 


    The 10 categories you should review during your audit include:

    1. Employment policies and procedures. 
    2. Recruitment and hiring practices. 
    3. Onboarding and orientation.
    4. Compensation and benefits review. 
    5. Performance management. 
    6. Employee relations. 
    7. Record keeping and documentation.
    8. Compliance with employment laws. 
    9. Training and development.
    10. HR documentation and auditing processes.

  • How to Manage Social Media Misconduct in Your Company

    With how prevalent social media has become, there is a rising need for companies to establish policies to provide clarity around what is acceptable and prevent potential issues that may arise as social media continues to become a bigger part of our business. This week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast is about how to manage social media misconduct in your company!

    In this episode, Brian shares ways that entrepreneurs and management teams can manage social media expectations, create policies that reflect a fair and balanced approach, and have a policy in place to fall back on should an employee misuse social media and cause potential harm to the business.

    The steps Brian shares to manage social media misconduct in your business are:

    1. Setting the ground rules and reviewing existing policies to identify any specific updates that are required. 
    2. Draft and implement your policy clearly outlining your expectations, acceptable usage, privacy considerations, and consequences for non-compliance.  
    3. Conduct training to educate your employees on the policy details and follow through with enforcing the policy.
    4. Reasonably and ethically open a well-documented investigation into any misconduct (& the steps you need to take to do so).

  • Stupid (and Illegal) Interview Questions You Should Never Ask

    There is a lot to consider when it comes to running an HR-compliant business and sometimes business owners violate the law without intending to or realizing it. When it comes to hiring especially, there are certain questions that are considered discriminatory and are both inappropriate and illegal to ask. In this week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast, I’m helping you to avoid asking stupid (and illegal) questions in the hiring process. 

    In this episode, Brian talks about his personal experience of being asked inappropriate and frankly, irrelevant questions during an interview and reminds you that there are certain things you just shouldn’t be judging people on when deciding if someone is fit for the role. 

    10 Topics or questions you should never ask in an interview are:

    1. Race, color, or ethnic background. 
    2. Religion or religious practices. 
    3. Gender or sexual orientation. 
    4. Marital status, family planning, or pregnancy. 
    5. Age or date of birth. 
    6. Disabilities or health conditions. 
    7. National origin or immigration status. 
    8. Financial status, credit history, or bankruptcy. 
    9. Arrest records or criminal history.

  • The 7 Habits of Founders That Might Actually Kill Your Business

    Building a business not only requires a great idea and a lot of hard work but it also requires you to adopt healthy habits as a founder. Unfortunately, there are some habits that if left unchecked can have detrimental effects on your business’ growth and sustainability. This week’s episode of the Entrepreneur to Employer podcast is about the 7 habits of founders that might actually kill your business!


    In this episode, Brian shares some of the habits that founders may not even realize they’ve adopted to, at the very least, make you realize you have these habits so you can better understand what you can do to fix them. 


    The 7 habits Brian covers in this episode include:

    1. Falling into the “do everything” syndrome- Getting trapped in working in the business trying to do everything yourself and failing to work ON the business. 
    2. Fear of delegation- Delegation is required in order to grow your business and expand into your role as a leader. 
    3. Having an “I know best” attitude- You want to be hiring people into your team to fill the gaps in your knowledge and help propel your business forward. 
    4. The “no time” issue- Every founder feels like they don’t have extra time to spare, however, it is imperative that we make time for strategic planning and growth. 
    5. Creating a “no feedback and coaching” culture- Feedback is crucial for both personal and professional growth and your employees are going to look to you to receive it. 
    6. Taking a “no HR” foundation approach- If you neglect the basic HR practices in your business you’ll run into a heap of challenges from employee dissatisfaction to legal issues. 
    7. Not being open to adapting- Change is inevitable and businesses that fail to adapt will fall behind or go out of business.
