Okay, maybe 'hate' is too strong a word, and there is little reason in the workplace to hate a colleague or an employee. But there are situations where we genuinely dislike certain colleagues, for their conduct or habits, or generally for reasons difficult to define or admit, even to our own selves.
Industrial espionage and information sabotage has become rather ubiquitous. However, it continues to be a subject kept in the realm of security experts and rarely discussed with general employees. That, of course, may have either good or bad repercussions, but for good measure, we have listed below a few pointers given by the FBI to combat theft of intellectual property and proprietary data.
Election Day is NOW, but many small and mid-sized employers may be unaware that in many states, not giving PAID TIME-OFF to employees may be construed as a Class C demeanor, and can attract both a penalty up to $500, as well as other future issues in the employer-employee relationship.
A behavioral interview is only part of a structured interview process, but is extremely important as many interviewers go overboard and either end up alienating candidates or fail to collect relevant behavioral data about the candidate. There is an overwhelming need to collect relevant behavioral data within the limited time span of an interview as well as to keep certain things in mind to make the best use of a behavioral interview.
Some issues, though common, are rarely simple, and employee retention is one of those. I have heard quotes like “an employee doesn’t leave a company, but leaves his/her boss,” and while in some cases such an assertion may be true, in most cases it is not. This article focuses on correlations between employee loyalty, employee retention, and the role that money (compensation) plays in attaining company objectives.
Changes in technology have empowered both recruiters and jobseekers, and to a great extent leveled the playing field among all parties involved. No single platform or setting is paramount when it comes to seeking and recruiting talent, but all constitute channels of an integrated recruitment strategy where avenues of jobseeker interaction are nursed according to their importance and employer priorities, but neglected only at the risk of losing relevance.
Veterans can be of invaluable help to a business or company in many ways. The greatest assets of a veteran are credibility, discipline, punctuality, teamwork, and ability to follow and give orders. A veteran may or may not be a computer genius brimming with novel ideas, but a veteran has the greatest chance of adding to the core of trusted personnel within a company – without which core a business workplace is nothing more than a way-house for mercenaries hopping from one job to another.
“Is there an easier way to recruit candidates?” This is the question most HR managers and HR professionals ask themselves today. Another question that worries HR professionals is if there is an easy test that could be developed that could determine which candidates could be successful in an organization in the long run. Such a technique, system, or plan does not seem to exist. So what can help you focus on your recruiting efforts or help you send out the right message that could draw in a better and more qualified pool of candidates? Well, all this can change soon with the emergence of Big Data or Big Data analytics.
An employee handbook is a booklet that documents your expectations from your employees and what your employees can expect from your company. In other words, it states your legal obligations as an employer and their rights as employees. It contains important information on your company’s policies and procedures and has all details that employees would need to know about their workplace.
Workplaces throughout the country today are made up of four distinct generations – the Veterans (1922 – 1946), Boomers (1946 – 1963), Generation X (1963 – 1980), and Generation Y (1980 – 2000). Each of these generations has something to offer in the workplace, such as different values, needs and expectations. As an employer, if you are unable to properly manage and motivate your multigenerational workforce, your Company will soon face challenges in terms of retaining skilled workers and you will fail to leverage the true benefits of a multigenerational workforce. To survive this rare challenge of managing diverse generations of workforce, you need to learn about each of these generational groups, their needs and their motivations.
Many job seekers consider their resumes to be documents which highlight their best potential. Alternatively, job postings are an ideal way for companies to put forward the finest points about their company and attract the right candidates. Employers today need to understand the power that job postings carry to attract the right candidates and set aside the less than ideal candidates.
It's been over three years that foreign law schools, in particular the Peking University School of Transnational Law have been seeking ABA accreditation. As Sino-American trade relations form closer ties, the need to increase cross-border understanding was expected to escalate, obviously. At other times, such a gesture by a foreign law school to gain ABA accreditation may have been seen as eccentric, or to be of little significance. However, the recent drop in the number of fruitfully employed law graduates and the tenacity of the economic recession, have made many concerned about the prospect of opening a potential floodgate of foreign lawyers into the market. Whether the Peking University School of Transnational Law (PUSTL) in China ultimately receives accreditation or not is a different issue, but even considering the matter at this week's annual ABA meeting, is seen by some as sacrilege.
After analyzing from all angles, it seems that mid-tier law firms are destined to experience greater growth and stability than their big law counterparts in both the current economy and the near future. The shift, of course, is not sudden, but definitely global in nature. At the end of last month, the legal market in Australia reported that mid-tier law firms were definitely edging ahead of big law firms. The Q2, 2012 Peer Monitor Index released by the Hildebrandt Institute this 27th July affirms the same is also true for the U.S. legal market.
Understanding the economic and societal impact of office space in law firms is critical to satisfying the needs of human resources within your own law firm, and also helps to identify the hierarchy when you walk into any law firm for the first time. Office space is a reward, incentive, and status declaration, all at the same time. And this is more true in a law firm than most other businesses today.
Job titles significantly influence decisions related to career growth. Hence, a lot of HR managers and recruiters are torn between whether to lure the right candidate by offering a better designation or to tempt him by offering a salary hike.
You may have the best job posting practices, but if the job descriptions fail to impress the job seekers you may not get fair returns on your job posting investment. Further, in order to write effective job descriptions, it is a good idea to get into the shoes of a job seeker and consider what they would expect an exciting job listing to contain.
Job boards are the most effective tools for communicating open positions to job seekers. Irrespective of the increasing use of social media for reaching out to potential candidates, job boards are still the most preferred option for job seekers looking for suitable jobs. Hence, drafting apt job postings is important to the success of your recruitment efforts.
When you start posting jobs on various online and offline media, it becomes important for you to measure the outcome of the posting. Measuring the impact of your job postings will not just tell you whether your postings are being viewed by the right job seekers but also give you a heads up on whether an alternative approach is required to woo the target candidates.
In today’s competitive labor markets, it is obvious that the jobseekers are trying their best to attract the employers’ attention; however, the reverse is also true, where the employers are also focusing on the drafting the most effective job postings in an attempt to grab the right candidates.
The main purpose of a job posting is to capture the interest of the job searchers. Hence, it is important to realize that job postings are classified advertisements of the available jobs displayed to encourage responses from targeted job hunters. Therefore, job postings should be capable of selling both the company and the open position. Do not forget this point as job postings play an important role in the entire recruitment chain.
