9. Learn How to Pronounce the Job Candidate’s Name
Pronouncing a candidate’s name correctly is important.

Never ask inappropriate questions about a candidate’s personal life, beliefs, or protected characteristics such as age.

Key Employee Turnover Statistics Top 7 Reasons Identified as Key Factors in Employee Turnover.
We’ve worked hard to attract you, and we want to keep you. So, before you become a contributor to these statistics, give us an opportunity to recognize and meet your needs. As your dedicated Talent Acquisition Team, we encourage you to:
- • Request 1:1 chats with your supervisors. Share what’s going great (and not so great) professionally on your program, and in your role offering an opportunity to support you. And we love hearing about personal accomplishments and milestones. Help us celebrate you!
- Participate in our employee engagement activities. They’re designed to keep you engaged.
- Complete the Surveys. If you’re not comfortable speaking out publicly, surveys are a great way to share your sentiments anonymously. We read them all and utilize them to help implement change.
- Utilize the learning and development resources available to you. Continue building your knowledge base and skills to stay current until there’s an opportunity for growth.
- Contact our Human Resources Department. They’re here to support.
We value your feedback and want you to succeed.

December is Universal Human Rights Month
Universal Human Rights Month in the Workplace
December marks Universal Human Rights Month, when we celebrate our progress in building a society based on equality, justice, and freedom. Beyond the holiday festivities and New Year’s resolutions, this month presents an opportunity to educate and raise awareness of people’s fundamental rights.
During a time of self-reflection and aiming to improve ourselves, what better goal to set this December than reflecting on how we treat others and taking a stand for equality?
Aiming to bring further attention to this matter, this Shortlister article explores the importance of Universal Human Rights Month in the workplace and as part of companies’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts.
