One of my favorite things about Google Analytics is viewing the keyword searches. I love the different ways people found their way to this blog. Some are off the wall, some are genuine questions. Here’s a few from this year with my responses.

I get a lot of searches about exempt employee time keeping and measuring success. Don’t force exempt employees to clock in, dude its dumb. Set goals that align with the business goals and your own professional goals; meet those and you’ve succeed. Rinse and repeat.

Oy vey…people really ask this stuff? Exempt and punching in? No, no, no. HR aligned to support biz goals – yes!
These are hilarious. I’d publish some of mine but they are ((cough cough)) kind of gross.
