Productivity
In this week's Leaders in Education, we felt it important to acknowledge the national conversation around racial justice, especially in light of developments in the Breonna Taylor case. It's been a painful time, and the moment asks us to lead with compassion, especially for our Black colleagues and teammates. While our focus this week is productivity- something we've all been struggling with as we navigate taking care of ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities- we hope these resources support you and your leadership as you lead with empathy.
HR’s Role in Advancing Equity in Times of Unrest
"In personal interactions and organizational communications, HR leaders should emphasize three things: Empathy, allyship and action." As mission-driven organizations, we know the importance of continuously acknowledging our current reality with our team and leading with empathy, especially during busy times that ask a lot of us. This resource lays out a few must-take actions as we support employees and honor organizational commitment to racial justice, in light of current events.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
I’ve worked with a few JobSeekers in recent months who have reservations about joining LinkedIn, due to their feelings about social media and privacy. They ask me, “do I NEED to be on LinkedIn?” Of course not. Although it’s not mandatory, if you’re interested in exploring new roles or being contacted by recruiters about new roles, a LinkedIn profile goes a long way.
Reasons you might consider creating a LinkedIn profile:
- Over 90% of recruiters use LinkedIn to find & connect with talent (including those of us here at WorkMonger).
- Even if a recruiter doesn’t find you via LinkedIn, hiring managers and recruiters will likely Google you at some point in the hiring process.
- A LinkedIn profile builds credibility (and is usually the first page that will come up for you, depending on your online presence).
- Some organizations allow candidates to apply for roles through LinkedIn by simply sharing their profile.
LinkedIn is a great way to connect with hiring managers and recruiters at your target company, beyond simply applying for roles online. Joining LinkedIn doesn’t mean you have to post content or engage as you might on other social media sites. I recommend at least creating a profile with up-to-date employment and education information, a recent (and professional) profile picture, and a customized URL.
