Slater's Bold, Budweiser Slide Farewell Underscores the Importance of Daily Employee Recognition
Many of you have probably kept up with the questionable, but wildly supported actions of Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who finally had had enough of obnoxious customers and job stress. Slater did what many workers fantasize about and may do with increasing frequency - albeit with less showmanship - once the economy rebounds.

Candidate Screening - Are Your Results Really Useful?
In Part 1 of this two-part Article, the author provided ideas and suggestions concerning the kinds of information you might want to collect and assess from candidates applying on-line to an open job. It becomes necessary to weigh the information provided from the candidate to determine who most closely matches the credentials of the “ideal person” for your position. To handle this correctly, you need to indicate the relationship of each data point you collect against the answer you have judged as “ideal” for the candidate you want to hire.

> Embracing social networking to drive business results

With 400 million active Facebook users and 80 million registered LinkedIn users, the need for social networking and interaction has secured and validated its place in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Moreover, large-scale economic uncertainties fundamentally change the drivers that attract, motivate and retain employees, including the need to perhaps socialize more during challenging times.

> Leading the Virtual Workforce - Summary

Institutional frameworks today are fueled by highly skilled and specially trained workers who are often spread out across great distances and communicate horizontally instead of vertically. Many organizations have not been able to effectively implement leadership models or performance standards that take advantage of this vast virtual array.
