Healthcare Organizations Find Value in PTO Programs
Even as a very slow and modest upturn in the U.S. economy is becoming evident, healthcare organizations across the country continue to search for ways to reward employees, despite the shrinking pay increase budgets and pay freezes seen throughout the industry. The newly released 2010 Compensation Data Healthcare survey results show that full-time employees with less than one year of service earn an average 15.6 days of paid time off, while part-time employees earn 10.1 days.

Axe Commission for Bank Sales Staff

Employer Brand * Likely More Misunderstood than You Think

“70% of senior leadership understand and 49% value the employer brand, compared with 10% and 20% of employees/potential employees, respectively.” Consider your own organization – your leadership gets “it”, but your employees, the people who execute “it” don’t.

Precarious Culture * Achieving the Proper “Balance” with Recognition

Have you ever heard the aphorism to truly understand something you have to look at it another way? Well, sometimes you have to turn it upside down.

Predictive Tools in Talent Management (e.g., Recruiting) – Proceed with Caution!

Many recruiting experts would agree that “false negatives” (rejecting a job candidate that would have been a great contributor) are much more harmful to an organization than “false positives” (hiring a job candidate that turns out to be a bad hire).

Mindset - Summary

According to Carol S. Dweck, one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation, there are two main belief systems, or mindsets, that people can possess: fixed and growth. These mindsets strongly influence the way individuals respond to success and failure, and as a result, they can either prevent us from embracing challenges and progressing, or they can spur us on to personal success.
