The Internet may have everything, but books still rule for learning new things. In Time Tec likes to stay on top of the latest and greatest in our respective departments, so here’s what we’re reading lately.

You’ve decided to take your tech offerings to the next level. Maybe you were tired of using paper when most businesses run more efficiently online. Or you looked at your systems and realized that code is long out of date. Working with another company can help you gain fresh knowledge and experience while allowing your employees to focus on other things.

Workplace burnout has become increasingly common in recent years. The impact of burnout on both people and businesses has gotten a lot of attention lately. Specifically, the well-known and widespread “Great Resignation” refers to the roughly 33 million Americans who have quit their jobs since the spring of 2021. In order to minimize employee turnover, leaders must know what workplace burnout is, how to identify it, and how to alleviate or avoid it. 

The tech profile of the Treasure Valley keeps increasing, leading to rumors that Idaho might be getting its own Silicon Valley. The speculation gained credibility with Meta Platform’s recent announcement. Meta is constructing a new data center in Kuna, Idaho, which will support Facebook, Instagram, and its other social sites.   

March 8 is International Women’s Day. The day honors the extraordinary accomplishments made by women everywhere. It also serves as an important reminder to stop and take a minute to highlight people who may be otherwise overlooked.

In Time Tec is hiring at an impressive speed. Last year alone, we added over 200 members to our team — so many that we had to find additional office space! With all this hiring, our recruiters meet hundreds of candidates a month, both in the US and in India. So what exactly do we look for when we are interviewing potential employees? 

It goes without saying that as a leader you should always make sure your team is set up for success. You know your team's strengths and capabilities, so optimize them. You also know their weaknesses, so help address them with courses or connect them with someone in the company who can help. Below are a few of the ways we make sure our employees at In Time Tec are set up for success. 

Hiring is a stressful process. Employees want to find their dream job, while employers aim to hire the best person for the job. Tech teams, in particular, present a unique challenge, as hiring presents a narrower field of candidates. With all that in mind, how do you find the best person for the job?

Can you imagine this world without people? If you take away people, there’s no life. Life only happens because of and through people. People create life and we are not meant to live this life alone. We are meant to live in communities full of happiness, connection, and support. In the movie “Passenger”, Jim awakens Aurora after his pod malfunctions because he can’t bear the thought of living the rest of his life in isolation. We all need the feeling of inner connection with other human beings. People are the reason that life exists. They should always come first.

At In Time Tec, we understand that there is a whole person working for us. We have never been and will never be the kind of company who treats our employees as “cogs in a machine.” From our in-office gym to leading with love, we take every aspect of being human into account as we work with our employees. That is why we were thrilled when we learned about enhancing neuroplasticity and the core lifestyle habits to achieve optimal brain health.
