The idea was that talented people were a scarce resource for which firms had to compete. But hiring talented people is only half the battle. They must be given jobs in which they can be effective. If they are given the wrong jobs, with the wrong things to do, they will be square pegs in round holes no matter how much potential talent they have. 24 Mar 2009 20:51:22 GMT http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-books23-2009mar23,0,6244168.story 5E6D0249-5E2D-4BBE-88BA-EC860F30187B The priorities of a company, especially of HR, change drastically during a slowdown. From bringing in cost-cutting measures to dealing with forced attrition to managing morale, HR assumes a different role each time. “Believe me, it’s tougher during a recession, because HR for the first time is facing the problem of managing the psyche of the trapped employee,” says Nandita Gurjar, Senior Vice-President and Global HR Head, Infosys Technologies. 24 Mar 2009 20:51:22 GMT http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/manager/2009/03/23/stories/2009032350391000.htm F240B734-8B85-4B5F-ADBE-F50358EBB891 Will Sutton, a manager of Branch Banking & Trust Co.’s corporate university doesn’t own a Blackberry. Being that he supervises a staff of more than 130, that fact seems astonishing. Yet, it’s a telling detail about Sutton, says Marsha Alford, sales and service training manager at BB&T University. He’s the antithesis of the in-your-face boss. Yes, for that reason, Sutton might seem far different than today’s manager. In fact, BB&T University has adopted a maxim from Aristotle as a guiding philosophy: "Excellence is an art won through training and habituation." Sutton and his staff have translated that maxim into an approach known as "Teach, Preach, Reach," which conveys that employees and their managers are vital elements of the learning culture. 24 Mar 2009 20:51:22 GMT http://www.workforce.com/archive/feature/26/05/29/index.php E345F6D7-1763-4C04-8E5A-8ECFE01F4531 If you're moving freight across borders you're well aware that global trade is becoming even more complicated. Expanding security data measures such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's new Importer Security Filing (ISF) regulation, better known as 10+2, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) updates, and the increase in penalties for export violations all continue to push the limits of customs compliance professionals strapped with limited resources. 24 Mar 2009 20:51:21 GMT http://www.logisticsmgmt.com/TalkBack/Comments?talk_back_header_id=6589345&articleid=ca6642923&article_id=6642923 AB780E05-CE12-405D-A92C-CAF4B0EC304B Halogen Software has seen strong uptake of its newest talent management solution, eLearning Manager.
