  • Tough Job Market - For Employers?

    It should be easy! Unemployment at 8.9%. We all know someone in transition. Studies show people want a new job. AND - who wouldn't want to work for my company! Jobs Open, but Filling Them Slows Down That is a title...

  • Reading Piles!

    E-mails, magazines, books, etc.  We all have too much to read - but great intentions.  We put things in piles - with great hope of reaching the bottom some day.  As mentioned in an earlier post, I read HR Magazine (SHRM's publication) in 5 minute increments - usually...

  • The way toward employee engagement can be so simple!

    Harvey Mackay, the well known author and writer, has a very simple title on his weekly column (November 21, 2010). It merely says, "Say thanks to your employees." Such simple words, but so rarely followed! Mr. Mackay quotes Don MacPherson, President and...

  • 4 Short Articles; 1 Comprehensive Story

    I read HR Magazine in short bursts - usually when I am 5+ minutes early for an appointment. It takes a month to read the monthly publication at this rate. In today's world, we rarely sit down and read any publication cover to cover. Personally, I like short articles that...

  • Four Generations In One Place!

    I just returned from the fall IACPR (International Association for Corporate and Professional Recruitment) conference. I must say that the agenda was very strong (not one item I actually wanted to skip). One of the most pleasant surprises was the presentation by Ellie...
