  • The Man Who Invented Management Why Peter Drucker's ideas still matter  Little more than six months ago, I was sitting within a foot of Peter F. Drucker's right ear -- the one he could still hear from -- in the living room of his modest home in Claremont, Calif. Even that close, I had to shout my questions to him, often eliciting a "What?" rather than an answer. Yet when he absorbed my words, his mind remained vigorous even as his body was failing.

Japan:
  • Japan trying to keep women in workforce Japan plans to toughen its gender equality law in an effort to encourage women to stay in the workforce as the population begins to shrink, a government official said on Friday. The Health and Welfare Ministry will propose an amendment to the 1986 law that would ban employers from treating women unfavourably because they are pregnant or have young children, the Nihon Keizai newspaper said.  Employers would also be prevented from firing a woman who was pregnant, or who had a child under a year old, unless they could prove that the employee's family situation was not the reason, the paper said.

With the Christmas break coming up, thousands are expected to try to score some extra cash to carry on partying during their time away from college. Many of the students are believed to have skills which are needed in offices and factories up and down the country. Employment figures out last week showed there was an increased skill and labour shortage. (NewstalkZB)

  • TESDA, private sector forge partnership to upgrade tourism industry workforce The Philippines is set to produce more world-class and highly skilled work force that will meet the needs of the local and global tourism industry. This is the objective of an agreement between the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the private sector-led Tourism Industry Foundation Inc. (TIBFI). The agreement, which was signed recently by TESDA Director General Augusto Syjuico and TIBFI Chairman and President Larry Cruz will accredit TIBFI as a Tourism Industry National Assessment Board. The accreditation of industry groups to directly and actively participate in the development and upgrading of the country's industry workers is a component of of Phase ll of the Philippines-Australia Technical Vocational Education and Training Project (PAQTVET) funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID).

South Korea:
  • Elder Women Emerge as Key Workforce Women in their 50s are emerging as a major segment in the workforce, making up for declining numbers of younger workers in an aging society. The number of employed women aged between 50 and 59 averaged a record 1.39 million during the 10 months to October, up 9.7 percent from a year earlier, the National Statistical Office (NSO) said.

US:
  • Vt. gets creative in replacing its aging workforce  A shortage of young workers is prompting the state to look in different places to replenish an aging state workforce — and that includes the penitentiary.  Programs to match up people holding police records with job openings are nothing new. But with fewer young people coming up through the ranks to take over from workers nearing retirement, it's time to take a closer look, said Larry Sudlow, the Department of Employment and Training's regional manager for Rutland and Bennington counties.

  • Active components exceed October recruiting goals October was a good month for recruiting, with all active-duty components exceeding their recruiting and retention goals, officials said here today.  This was particularly good news for the Army National Guard. In October, the Army Guard had a goal of 3,970 recruits and accessed 4,050 - 102 percent of its goal.  October is the first month of the new fiscal year, so the component started off on the right foot, Guard officials said. It was the first time the Guard has made its goal since May. (DCMilitary.com)
     
  • Florida leads nation in jobs Florida's unemployment rate slipped to a record low in October, with the booming construction industry continuing to be a major generator of jobs.  Moreover, Florida again led all states in the number of nonagricultural jobs created during the past year, generating 253,200 in the 12 months ended Oct. 31. The next highest: California.  The state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 3.4 percent last month, the lowest level recorded since 1976, the earliest that comparable records are available, the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation said Friday.

  • Boeing to Pay $72.5 Million for Gender Discrimination  The aerospace company reached a preliminary agreement over a year ago to settle the lawsuit for anywhere between $40.6 and $72.5 million. Documents filed last week in a U.S. district court in Seattle reveal the final payout was the maximum amount allowed, according to reports from the Associated Press and Seattle news station KOMO. According to the plaintiffs' lead attorney, individual payments to the nearly 18,000 women will range from $500 to $26,000. (HR.blr.com)
     
  • 15% of Firms Hosting Holiday Party Spend $20K or More  Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of employers are planning to host a party this holiday season, according to a survey by Hewitt Associates.  Of employers planning holiday parties, 27 percent will spend $5,000 or less on their parties, 30 percent will pay between $5,000 and $20,000, and 15 percent will spend between $20,000 and $30,000.

  • Maui inmates get job-search boost  With companies scrambling to find workers in an extremely tight labor market, a Wailuku job fair yesterday aimed to connect employers with an untapped resource: Maui Community Correctional Center inmates.  The event was sponsored by the BEST Reintegration Program, a division of Maui Economic Opportunity that prepares inmates for their return to the community during their last six months behind bars. The program provides housing and employment assistance, mentoring, mental health and other counseling, family reunification services and substance-abuse treatment. (Honolulu Advertiser)
     
  • Recruiting a New Elite  Can HFAI make us more accessible?  Taking the microphone at a forum on socioeconomic diversity last April, a Harvard undergraduate opened up about the culture shock he had experienced after arriving in Cambridge as a freshman. The student, who hailed from a working-class background, said he found himself alienated by the wine-and-cheese atmosphere on campus. He then gestured to the back of the room.  Heads turned. Glass bottles of Pellegrino mineral water and Martinelli's sparkling cider dotted the refreshments table, standing alongside a generous spread of cheeses, crackers, and baked bruschetta. It was a repast fit for a royal—and an ironic culinary choice for an event highlighting Harvard's efforts to attract the underprivileged. (Harvard Crimson)
     
  • Incentives still play big recruiting role  Sanford admits inducements are necessary for S.C. to compete with other states for jobs  A plant site in Lexington County offers a lesson in industrial recruiting: Grand announcements sometimes fall short.  The facility near the Columbia Metropolitan Airport was to have been home to an $84 million plant where 260 people made fiber-optic cable for Pirelli.  But the plan — announced with much fanfare by Gov. Jim Hodges' Commerce Department in August 2000 — fell through. (TheState.com)
     
  • At SEAL level: In Stamford, candidates prepare for a grueling test Inside a fenced compound on a wooded lot in North Stamford, a small group of men in camouflage pants and combat boots scrambled on their hands and knees under a raised log, dirt mixing with sweat on their faces. They ran through the woods together, stopping only to perform tests of strength and guts.  Property owner Mark MacIntyre, 47, a former world-class triathlete turned personal trainer, leads the men, all aspiring Navy SEALs, through the obstacle course he created for his physical fitness business. (StamfordAdvocate)
     
  • Contingent Workforce Management Trends Taleo Corporation (TLEO), the market leader in global on demand talent management solutions, has released a research report that analyzes the contingent workforce management trends of a cross-section of the Fortune 500. Findings of this study indicate that contingent workforce management remains an increasingly complex and unmonitored area of expense throughout large organizations. (S-Ox.com)

Age Discrimination Visible, But U.S. Businesses  Urge Older Workers to Stay On the Job 
National Study Suggests Many Keep Working Out of Financial Necessity


While nearly a quarter (23 percent) of the U.S. workforce knows of an older worker who has been denied a job, promotion or raise because of age, more than twice as many businesses encourage older workers to stay on the job than to retire early. According to a national Hudson survey, 38 percent of workers say their organizations keep older workers because they are difficult to replace, compared to 15 percent whose firms want to make way for younger workers.



Entrepreneurs and small-business operators are especially eager to retain older workers; 49 percent encourage them to stay on the job, compared to 11 percent promoting retirement. Conversely, 26 percent of government workers say retirement is actively encouraged.

Many organizations - and particularly larger ones - proactively take steps to take advantage of older workers' experience. Thirty-five percent of respondents say their firms offer formal mentoring programs to pair a younger worker with an older one for guidance and training. That number rises to 50 percent among companies with 250-500 employees. Among those employees whose firms offer such programs, 51 percent say their firms encourage older workers to stay.

"With 76 million baby boomers approaching retirement age, retaining older workers is not so much a choice as a necessity," said Alicia Barker, vice president of human resources, Hudson North America. "That said, organizations that go beyond accommodation to active engagement of older workers stand to benefit from a loyal, hardworking labor force that offers tremendous experience and institutional knowledge."

Even as companies do more to keep workers on the job longer, those workers themselves may not have a choice. According to a Hudson survey earlier this year, 74 percent of U.S. workers plan to work at least part-time during their retirement years. This month's survey found that 57 percent of workers believe that people continue to work beyond retirement age because they need money, while just 27 percent say it is because they enjoy having something to do.



The Hudson aging workforce survey is based on a national poll of 1,075 U.S. workers and was compiled by Rasmussen Reports, LLC, an independent research firm (RasmussenReports.com). They survey respondents make up a cross-section of the U.S. workforce. A more detailed data report is available at www.hudson-index.com.
