1/20/10 Reflection

Today we talked about internal and external labor forces. It was interesting to discuss the different strengths and weaknesses of both. It is very important when hiring for the company to consider what direction they want the business to go in. Do they want to continue to keep the same flow of things and same ideas, or do they want to change things up a bit and get some fresh ideas flowing through the company? I think this also goes hand in hand with employee empowerment and engagement because the company needs to be able to trust their employees in order to let them have a little freedom in the business and make their own decisions. If they can not trust their employees the company will fall apart.
