Family-run businesses, solopreneurs, startups, pop-ups, mom & pop shops—small businesses are connected to our communities here in Austin, create jobs & culture in ways no big box store ever could. They deserve our support today & every day. Here are some of BSP’s favorites.
As we celebrate #SmallBusinessSaturday, here are a few (of the many) Blue Sky Partners favorites: @butlerpitchandputt @pinksugaraustin @bookpeople @BamBagels @MediciRoasting @aviarywinekitchen @BirdbirdBiscuit @endofanear @blackpearlbooks @WaterlooRecords @taylorprinsen

Your Manager Is Contagious! Truth is all managers are contagious, & I don't mean with COVID, the measles or the flu. Whatever behaviors employees see exhibited are repeated. If teams display positive attitudes, kindness & enthusiasm it reflects the light of their leader. #Culture

Truth be told, this seems so patently obvious to us that we’re not quite sure what to say when people don’t get it.
If we want to attract and retain top talent in our organizations, we must create experiences that make employees WANT to show up to work.

Suddenly I'm seeing stories of employers requiring job candidates to interview 5, 6 and even 7 times. To candidates, I say run away from selfish companies like this. To managers, I say, stop it. Google research proved there's no upside to interviewing more than 4x. #Leadership

“Thank you for taking the time to share your review...we apologize for the unpleasant experience you had during your stay" That's the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort response to a 1 star review. The guest was horrified by seeing another guest dragged into the ocean by a crocodile

After a woman with Downs Syndrome worked at Walmart for 16 Yrs on the same 12-4 shift, Walmart introduced computerized scheduling that frequently changed her #work hours. Walmart then fired her for "attendance problems." A jury today awarded her the $600k max settlement. #Heart

Has the average rate of tenure at a job, length of time employed, been shrinking? Seeking research about it. Poor work environment, not enough pay, people taking more control, more gig economy work... Host of reasons for changes. Asking for data about the change.
