Playing by the Numbers Means All the Numbers

For the second time in as many weeks, I've read that organizations have jobs going begging because they can't find "qualified" people to fill them. Most recent: "Difficulties in Finding Qualified Workers" by Peter Cappelli of The Wharton School who notes two reasons for the mismatch: Mismatch reason #1: tons of choice in this "buyer’s market." Question: If an organization shops around to ensure a smart decision, does it mean a) there’s no urgency to f… Continue

5 Points To Check for Choosing a Resume Writing Service

You need to be very cautious when selecting a resume writing service as anybody can put up a sign that they write resumes. In fact 1 company that secretly positions itself “#1” really sends the resumes abroad to be produced and produces very awful broken English resumes. Other companies providing resume help deliver nothing more than a prettier format of what you have. So here’s how the indus… Continue

“Are You a Resilient Leader?”

“Are You a Resilient Leader?” A resilient leader is one who, by definition, bounces back from difficult experiences. In my role as an executive coach to corporate leaders, I often find myself discussing workplace resilience. More specifically, how effective leaders must plan for a healthy work environment by focusing on the positive aspects of their business and upcoming changes, while ensuring that others have mapped out a resilience plan of action as well. Three questions should be answered b… Continue

Unifying a Fragmented Employment Industry

What are your thoughts on this controversial topic? Many people have fallen victim to the ever fragmenting employment industry. High job board costs force companies to explore alternative avenues for advertising available positions and the scattering of jobs force job seekers to post their resume to multiple employment sites. Millions of jobs are left unfilled, millions of job seekers are left out of work, and thousands of job boards are cashing-in on the failures of both. Overhead and value p… Continue

Does the World Owe You a Living?

Last week a 27-year old graduate of Monroe College in New York sued the college because in the three months following graduation she had not found a job. Her suit alleges that for $70,000 in tuition, the school’s responsibility is to find her a position. The young woman (whose name I refuse to mention, thus possibly extending her 15 minutes of fame) is angry about her position, especially since her student loans will be coming due. She is in no position to pay on them, and so her family will hav… Continue

Controlling Heightened Stress in the Workplace

There is no doubt that stress levels are skyrocketing in the workplace today: we would be crazy if we weren’t stressed. The term “job security” appears to be obsolete, as the economic crisis that began in the banking, the housing market and automotive industry has spread like a virus throughout the entire country, threatening our economic stability. Most employees today are struggling with stress and anxiety due to uncertainty. For psychologists, this is a great opportunity during this period of… Continue

ARE PERFORMANCE REVIEWS MORE OR LESS IMPORTANT IN THESE CHANGING AND DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES?

Many HR professionals have asked me if performance reviews are important, or even necessary, in these difficult economic times. The corollary to this question is if it is even possible to effectively utilize performance appraisals when you can’t give raises. Even in good economic periods, performance reviews do nothing for employees if they have not received feedback throughout the entire year. Employees need to receive continual feedback in order to have the opportunity to make behavioral chang… Continue
