The Best of 2020

December 17, 2020 by PBOG

As we move into 2021, I want to briefly look back at 2020 and praise some Human Resource (HR)/Human Capital leaders in the Permian Basin. Your HR leaders have been front and center to protect you and your employees, which is one heck of a juggling act. Often, they are the ones who bring goodwill […]

Stressors in 2020 and What to Do About Them

November 19, 2020 by PBOG

Look into the mirror and what do you see? I am writing this article in early September, National Suicide Prevention Month, for the November edition. By the time you flip through this magazine, many things will have changed. COVID cases may have dropped off, or the perfect storm of the winter flu and COVID may […]

Next Steps in a Topsy Turvy Year

October 8, 2020 by PBOG

For this month’s article, my co-writer is Michael Crain. Michael’s experience includes owning and operating a restaurant, construction company, and manufacturing facility that interacted with global partners. His background includes engineering in multiple disciplines and lecturing at UTPB, achieving the Teacher of the Year award recognized across all UT campuses. He is a graduate of […]

Be a Leader, Not a Follower

September 10, 2020 by PBOG

The topic of face-covering remains political, central to the development of theory, and gathering of information about probable consequences appropriate to making health-conscious decisions. A recent newscaster said, when a hurricane hits, no one argues about whether it is a Category 3 or a Category 5; it is a hurricane. With regards to how to […]

Hire to Retire: Be Prepared

August 6, 2020 by PBOG

Times have changed, and less is more. In July, I wrote about bringing back your employees to either full employment or from working from home. We have all learned that not everyone has to be physically present to get their jobs done. In that light, I would guess that commercial real estate is going to […]

Employee Legal Disputes, and How to Avoid Them

July 23, 2020 by PBOG

I have a forum to write about crucial Human Resource (HR) topics, or shall I say, people topics that may allow your organization to avoid unwanted employee legal disputes as well as provide some helpful hints for you. It is May 16, 2020, and I am writing this article for the July 2020 issue. What […]

Know Thyself

June 4, 2020 by PBOG

What will history say about you? I pose the question because we may be living through the worst times in our history. We are thrown into the mayhem of 2008, 911, the 1980s, Pearl Harbor, and the Spanish Flu all at once. What has been your reaction to the crisis of 2020? How have you […]

What a Difference a Month Makes

May 14, 2020 by PBOG

Be proactive, or better still, don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. In April, I wrote about finding a new job. Now I find that my advice may be ridiculous because with the possibility of so many being unemployed, any new job may do. I write these articles two months in advance and, consequently, I […]

Leaving Your Job

April 8, 2020 by PBOG

Looking for a new job? Did you know the best time to find a new job is between January and May? Think about it—the summer months are when people are on vacation, and in the fall, employers are more likely to be looking for holiday help, which is less permanent. Changing jobs is a big […]

Beware the Ides of March

March 11, 2020 by PBOG

This month I’m going to talk with you about hiring the right people. In October, I reviewed the basics of hiring and firing but I want to talk about making the right hire. Why the reference to the Ides of March? It is because Julius Caesar was assassinated and if you also remember your Roman […]
