Employees See Enrichment as Most Desirable Career Option: Stability replaces job-hopping as employees dream of jobs for life

Threatening Employers in this Recession may be its End

Employers need to stay connected to their employees in order to stop them from jumping ship once the job market rebounds. A recent workplace study by the Adecco Group, a global recruitment firm, found that more than half (54%) of employed adults report they are likely to look for new jobs once the economy turns around.

Strong leaders maintain a close connection between what they say and what they do. A Penn State survey found that managers who are well aware of their leadership style are more likely to succeed at their jobs than their peers.

Do You Know the Keys to Employee Engagement?

The real challenge in employee engagement is re-energizing employee commitment and passion. Organizations need to go back to addressing the fundamental issues of vision, mission, and values NOT just as empty platitudes to put up on posters around the office but as real beacons as to why people are working there in the first place.

Organizations with a formal onboarding process saw a 60% greater year-over-year improvement in revenue per FTE and a 63% greater year-over-year improvement in customer satisfaction than those with an informal or ad-hoc onboarding process, according to “the latest research on onboarding trends for 2010 from Aberdeen Group.

My Approach to Personal Time Management and Organization
Self-management, like self-improvement is highly personal. What works for one person may be ridiculous to someone else. Over the years I've evolved a personal management system that works for me. I think of it as PODS.
