Four Tips To Hiring The Right Person by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 Hiring the right resources is challenging and a never-ending learning experience.

What are some of the things to look for as part of (hopefully) making the right hiring decision? There are many things; and for sure the recipe is different for e... |

Be a Standout! by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 These are not average times; and for that reason, companies are not looking for “average” people. That makes sense. So you need to be a “Standout”, and it may be easier than you think. Here, think about this: You go and get more education and additional credentials thinking “I’ll be more marketable” and get back to the business of job searching and you still find yourself in line with 100's if not 1000's of potential job ... |

Career paths are disrupted. Hopes for career success are dashed. But when it's necessary, there are eight steps you can take to soften the blow: 1.

The Recession Survival Guide - It’s “Trade-In” Time by Bob Corlett - Dec, 2008 Ok, we’re in a recession - it’s official. So fear and panic are evident in decision-making and mostly we see people frozen in place. Waiting to see what happens. And not driving results. Do you know who in your organization will get you through the downturn? Look around. Your top performers are still driving results, taking on new responsibilities, trying new things, improving your current processes, cutting expenses, sugg... |

Evaluating Quality of Hire: Can’t Get There From Here by Dr. Wendell Williams - Nov, 2008 Time and again I read recommendations for evaluating quality of hire. Ask the managers, ask the employees, ask an astrologer. None of these things will ever give you more than a subjective opinion about the kind of information you need to improve the quality of hire. Here’s why. Imagine advertising for superheroes. There are a dozen steroid-pumped, ego-centric applicants sitting in your waiting room wearing masks, capes, an... |

Web-Based Hiring Tests: Do They Deliver? by Dr. Wendell Williams - Nov, 2008 The phone rings. Someone on the other end says he or she wants to build (or buy) a Web-enabled hiring test. Let’s say it will be for salespeople (generally the caller is a recruiter or HR manager, but sometimes he or she is a gopher). After discussing the idea for a few minutes, I make a few suggestions. These always include following the ‘Guidelines’ to make sure the test is based on job requirements and business necessity... |

Diversity – More Than Just A Notion by Dr. Linda Burrs - Nov, 2008 Oh no, here we go again…not another diversity initiative…not another diversity article…not another diversity program! Sound familiar? What’s wrong with this scenario? The problem is that for far too long, diversity has been the “whipping post” for many issues in organizations that are not necessarily about diversity in and of them selves. Diversity Defined There are over six billion people on this planet we call Earth. ... |

Intentional Inclusion by Dr. Linda Burrs - Nov, 2008 If leaders are not intentionally creating cultures of inclusion, then by default, they are creating cultures of exclusion. For years the term diversity seems to have taken the brunt of everything that is not good about working in organizations. The misinformation and disinformation attached to the word diversity are extraordinary. Diversity has been substituted for affirmative action, EEOC, artificial quotas and the cause of u... |

Myopia on Wall Street and Congress - And The CEO Compensation Pay Puzzle by Eva Jenkins - Oct, 2008 Million-dollar compensation packages for financial CEO’s with poor performance records that will be paid due to loopholes in the Congressional bailout of Wall Street are a waste of money and human capital. CEO’s who are walking away from the Wall Street meltdown are being rewarded with million-dollar compensation packages while the American taxpayer shoulders the financial responsibility of protecting companies, workers, an... |

As If They Were You by Nan S. Russell - Aug, 2008 "Treat everybody else as if they were you." These words gave me pause. I wonder what it would be like if we each did what this "unknown author" is advocating? Would she still have abandoned her station at the airport fast food restaurant to get a fork and share a pastry with her friend while her customers waited if she followed this adage? Would he still have sat by the window of the plane with his feet on the seat and kne... |
