. Last week I wrote about an elephant in the room of careers and employment that we aren't really acknowledging or discussing--the fact that there are 3.3 job seekers for every available job opening. . Today I want to acknowledge another elephant in the room that is the reality for both those who are unemployed and those who are currently working. It is this (and pardon my bluntness here): From a job seeker perspective, many, many jobs suck.
' I''ve previously posted on my first couple of sessions at Learning Technologies this year but never got as far as the afternoon sessions. But after lunch we had Bersin, describing some of the findings from their UK Training Factbook, and they''ve also since ran a webinar describing some of these findings in a bit more detail. Heavier reliance on instructor led training than in the US, supported by higher trainer staffing levels (10.1 vs 4.2 L&D staff per 1000 learners), leads to a much hi
(Some) 90 percent of performance appraisal processes are inadequate.” – Salary.com survey. In conversations with HR leaders and employees, the talent management process that suffers from the most disdain around the world is the performance appraisal. It’s one of the few processes that even the owners of the process dread. If everyone hates it, but it still gets done nearly everywhere, you might assume some asinine government regulation requires it, but in this case there is no such regulation.

'HR spends a lot of time ( or at least should spend a lot of time ) discussing diversity. This happens in part because we''re supposed to, in part because it makes good business sense.but mostly HR should be talking about diversity because it is the right thing to do.

Cleaning out 13 clogged arteries in employee engagement. Umair Hague wrote an intriguing post on the Harvard Business Review blog entitled: How to Have a Year That Matters. He offered a number of provocative questions, including: Why are you here? What do you want? Who’s on your side? What’s it worth? The question that caused me to pause was, what breaks your heart?

As a lot of my work recently has been with people who are unemployed, I have a ton of articles coming through my feeds on job search, unemployment, etc. Most of them are about "personal branding" and "building your network," how to manage your social media presence, write a great LinkedIn profile and navigate ever-more confusing and time-consuming online applicant tracking systems. .
Marissa is right! In order for Yahoo to have a culture of collaboration employees need to be face-to-face with each other to talk about the critical issues they collectively find themselves facing. But it is equally true that we can’t turn back the clock on virtual work nor on the growing distributed workforce that is serving us so well around the world.

'One of the hidden failings of leaders comes disguised as a perfectly legitimate request of the human resources team: " I''d like for HR to do some team building for my employees." Now you may be wondering how this seemingly normal, and perhaps even complimentary request could be considered a failing on management''s part. Well friends, more often than not this is an epic failure.
Learning employee engagement lessons driving in India. View from the road driving through Agra. Normally I don’t like the word drivers paired with employee engagement because it implies that we can drive engagement rather than invite engagement. But I have been thinking about the lessons from watching drivers in India navigage their way. I have only been in India for 3 days and just in Delhi and Agra.
. Charlie Kim, CEO of NextJump. A few weeks ago I wrote a post on the "disposable worker" and the damage I think we're doing to ourselves and our economy with this approach. Yesterday in a comment on that post, Catherine Lombardozzi pointed me in the direction of an interview with NextJump CEO, Charlie Kim, whose company has adopted a "no fire" policy.
In today’s world employees often must deal with tasks and problems that require much more that simply following a predetermined step by step procedure – the problems require the exercise of judgment. Judgment is needed when we are faced with thorny questions about which there are no right or wrong answers. When asked one of those thorny questions we often say, “Well, it’s a matter of judgment.
Modern go-to-market teams know it takes more than one email to break through the noise. Multiple touchpoints means more ways to get your pitch right — and, potentially, more ways to be wrong. The good news? Once you know how to write compelling, one-off emails to entice prospective customers, you can easily do the same across a short sequence of emails.

Millennials are stressed but optimistic, a new study from the American Psychological Association says. As a millennial myself, this isn’t really news. And I don’t say that because I’m part of the self-centered generation that has convinced itself we are the most important segment of the population. I’m just not surprised that 18-33 year olds report feeling stressed slightly more (5.4 on a scale of 10) than the national average (4.9).
'I''ve been trying a bunch of social media strategies. If you were to ask my team how things are going, they would more than likely respond by saying ".with which approach? it feels like we have a new one every week!"

Kaizen is a Japanese term that means continuous improvement. It all sounds good on the surface, but the reality is that very few companies fully embrace kaizen. They say, “But we’re improving all the time.” That may be true, but it’s the way in which companies make improvements that matters. In companies that truly embrace kaizen, the bulk of improvement—from surfacing problems and opportunities, to designing, testing, and implementing countermeasures (a better word than “solutions”)—are done by

Dear Amelia, I know managers play a key role in employees’ engagement, but how do you keep managers engaged? I find one of the best ways to keep your leaders at all levels engaged in your organization is to show them the “what’s in it for me.” So I coach leaders to find connecting points; connect leaders around the organizational goals and connect teams and then individuals into those goals.

'With the Internet, it’s never been more obvious that the skills you learn in school could drastically change over the years of your professional career. The Internet (as we know it) didn’t exist prior to 1991, yet graduating college students are incredibly savvy about SEO and mobile connectivity. When you don’t have the option to go back to school, get updates through skills-based learning.
The best part about visiting small towns (like Napa or Martha’s Vineyard) is the fact that they are small. Not all small towns are created equal, but the best ones have happy residents that choose to stay. These towns avoid the mainstream and attract visitors based on originality and personal feel that big cities can’t compete against. The same thing goes for small companies that have developed a unique culture, because it unites employees and inspires them beyond individual responsibilities.
