\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Go on vacation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Americans are highly competitive; according to a Mercer study conducted in 2009, the U.S. ranked first in terms of competitiveness based on GDP.\u00a0 However, when GDP is divided by the number of hours worked, the U.S. falls in rank.\u00a0 Despite having citizens who work fewer days, spending more time enjoying vacations instead, many European countries are still highly competitive and are more productive than their American counterparts.\u00a0 For example, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reveals that Luxemburg, where 32 vacation days are mandated annually, is 27% more efficient than the U.S.\u00a0 More information about the advantages can be read at How More Vacation Time Can Increase Productivity<\/a> but the salient point is that productivity and vacations can coexist.\u00a0 Use this summer to enjoy a few days away from work; shed the stress; and return relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to be productive.<\/p>\n

2. Evaluate your goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By July, New Year\u2019s Resolutions are no longer being maintained, much less remembered.\u00a0 Take the time to review the goals that you set at the beginning of the year.\u00a0 Are you on track to complete those goals or must they be modified?\u00a0 If you failed to previously create a list of work-oriented goals, start during the third quarter.\u00a0 Remember to keep your goals attainable and to track your progress to ensure success.<\/p>\n

3. Evaluate your HRIS<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is the company\u2019s human resource software<\/a> up-to-date or is an upgrade in order?\u00a0 Employees receive (or should receive) regular evaluations and so should software.\u00a0 There are valuable white papers that can help evaluate HR solutions (including Evaluating Workforce Management Solutions<\/a>) and other tools to compare different HRIS systems (such as the HRIS selector tool<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Take advantage of this summer and share your summer goals in the comments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
