You Should Know

Dubai:

  • The challenges of outsourcing: Can Dubai's vision become a reality? Dubai is aiming to become a key hub in the region for outsourcing. Is this achievable and what will it mean for the economy? Outsourcing worldwide is big business and the Dubai Outsource Zone (DOZ) is lobbying hard to grab a good chunk of it. It is determined that Dubai should benefit from the outsourcing, or more specifically offshoring, boom and the need for international companies to find better and more innovative ways to reduce costs. (Khaleej Times)


Global:
  • US outsourcing to touch $17 bn Information technology outsourcing by the US government will increase at an annual growth rate of nearly eight per cent and touch $17.6 billion by fiscal 2010, according to a market research firm. This increase in federal IT outsourcing, from the $12.2 billion spent in fiscal 2005, will be registered with the help of specific drivers like the Office Of Management (OMB) and budget's "Lines Of Business" (LOB) initiatives for HR and finance management, Federal Health Architecture, IT security and other processes, says research firm, Input. (FinancialExpress)
  • Everyone Gains as HR Tasks Are Outsourced "Businesses for years have outsourced their accounting or their payroll or their insurance or their legal work, but they've done it to different vendors," said Milan Yager, executive vice president of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations. "The PEO arrangement is the only opportunity to use a single vendor for all of those needs." (CRMBuyer)
  • More call centers outsourcing to homes Low-cost computer technology, Internet access have created work-at-home demand For many years, demand for at-home employment far outstripped supply, giving rise to a perennial crop of work-at-home scams, from pyramid schemes to phony job referrals. Now, working at home is taking a leap forward — in the customer-service arena. Instead of sending call-center work to India or the Philippines, a growing number of consumer-products and consumer-services companies — from Office Depot and J. Crew to Wyndham Hotels and Sears Holdings — are outsourcing work to people in their homes in the United States. (TheState)
  • An HR Planning Model for Outsourcing We urge business leaders who are considering outsourcing to charge their HR planners with active management of workforce planning issues throughout the process. To assist leaders and planners, we provide a new human resource planning (HRP) model and suggest best practices for planning and implementing an outsourcing arrangement. Based on dynamic HR planning theory, and research into current outsourcing cases and approaches, we provide a road ma ? to confront the challenges of outsourcing. We also suggest directions for further research on contemporary outsourcing issues. SAlthough considerable scholarly and practitioner-oriented research has been conducted on outsourcing and on human resource planning, insufficient attention has been paid to the HR aspects of outsourcing, specifically to the role of the HR planner in the process. (BlackEnterprise)
  • Baucus: Outsourcing of jobs a fact of life U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said Friday that outsourcing white-collar jobs to low-wage countries such as India has become a global fact of life--and that America must learn to live with it. During his five-day tour, Baucus of Montana called on India to further open its economy, especially in the agricultural and retail industries, to competition from U.S. companies (ChicagoTribune)


India:
 
  • Bestselling Indian author paints grim view of outsourcing jobs Shyam Mehra, 26, hates it when the Americans call him Sam. He hates it even more when his boss calls him Sam too. That's not all. He hates his work, his "semi-girlfriend" ... and himself. Mehra is one of the American-hating characters from a new book that has struck a chord with India's fast-growing middle class. He could, however, easily be any of the hundreds of thousands of faceless Indians who take on western names and fake accents to provide client services to millions of foreign customers, mostly in the United States. (NewMexican)
  • Opening a corridor of hope for job-seekers Firms on hiring binge;The HinduOpportunities Fair 2006 concludes For many it has opened up a corridor of hope and for those with appointment letters, the concluding day of The Hindu Opportunities Fair 2006 was the stuff straight from the dreams. "Mummy, tell Daddy I have got a job," cried an overjoyed A. Prathyusha on the mobile. A B.Tech final year student from Mahbubnagar, she finds herself very lucky to have cracked her first job test and interview that too in her first job fair. And she is not alone. It was not only Yunus Khan who scored a century in the India Pakistan match; Cognizant too hit the 100 mark on recruitment. "We have taken 100 experienced people in total," said a Cognizant official. (The Hindu)


UAE:
  • Human resource investment can raise productivity by 30 percent According to a statement issued by Rashad Kanbar, CEO, impaQta, premier Management Advisory firm, focused human capital investment is essential for long term organizational survival and prosperity, and strategic human resource development could increase productivity by as much as 30 percent in regional firms.

US:
  • A big generation starts to turn 60 Jimmy "Hip" Edmondson bounds through the doors of a Buckhead bar like a ranch hand hankering for a brew. Two dozen rowdy friends greet him like a hero, with applause — even awe —because tonight, Hip turns 60, a milestone he'll share this year with 3.3 million of America's 78.2 million baby boomers. (Atlanta Journal Constitution)
  • Oregon employers add jobs at quick clip, but wages don't follow The good news: Oregon employers are adding jobs at one of the fastest rates in the nation. The bad news: per-capita incomes in the state have consistently trailed the rest of the nation since the recession of 2000-2003. Now, though might be starting to change, economists say. Though full 2005 figures aren't yet available, economists think per-capita income in Oregon grew by as much as 5 percent during the year and could grow between 4 percent and 5 percent again in 2006. (OregonLive - Registration)
  • More Jobs Being Found Online, but That Doesn't Mean It's Easy One of the first things Brooke Christiansen did as college graduation neared last spring was post her résumé on three of the largest Internet job boards: Monster, CareerBuilder and HotJobs. For the most part, she said, it was an exercise in frustration. "You get piles and piles of jobs that no matter what you type in, come up with every single search," she said. "It's very hard and very time-consuming to find something you're actually interested in." In addition, she said, it is rare to hear back when applying for jobs found on the sites. Mary Riley Dikel, creator of The Riley Guide, a directory of employment and career resources on the Internet, said: "One job seeker told me, 'I think I'd be more successful distributing my résumé by opening my window and throwing it out.' You do feel like you're going into a black hole." To that frustration, add the risk that identity thieves may steal information from résumés posted...(New York Times)
  • Job forecast is brightest in years Marie Guthrie did exactly what many career consultants advise against: In October, she resigned without having another job in hand. What's more, it was an executive human resources position that's not so easy to find. But Guthrie, who lives in Colleyville, has no qualms about her decision. Two employers have invited her this month for fourth interviews -- positive steps in the sequence of six-figure hiring. "These high-level jobs two years ago were practically non-existent," said Guthrie, 51. "Most companies were eliminating the positions and not refilling." (SunHerald)
  • Schools adapt to meet a growing need for pharmacists A red-hot job market for pharmacy graduates has prompted Kansas City area universities to look at ways to make room for more students in their pharmacy programs. "From the educational standpoint, we have many more applicants than we can handle," said Robert Piepho, dean of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Last year, UMKC accepted 113 students out of 456 qualified applicants, he said. That's about 50 more applicants than the year before. The school's maximum acceptance was only 75 students about seven years ago. Nationally, there was a 53.9 percent increase in applications received for the 2003-2004 academic year from the previous year, according to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. The organization also reported that a record 8,158 degrees were awarded in the 2003-2004 school year, an 8.9 percent increase from a year earlier. Still, the rising enrollment and increasing number of graduates won't be able to keep pace with the expected demand, which is fueled partly by the country's aging population. Older people tend to need more medications, and the new Medicare program means an increased workload for pharmacists. (Kansas City Star)
  • Unions step up efforts to recruit immigrant construction workers Unions are reaching out to the foreign workers who crowd U.S. construction sites, and some see them as a heaven-sent solution to sliding membership rolls. As employers turn to cheaper nonunion workers, some unions that represent the construction industry are trying to organize the immigrants who take those jobs — regardless of their immigration status, said Jim Gleason, executive secretary of the Mountain West Regional Council of Carpenters. (Denver Post)
  • Lights all green for auto mechanics Steve Louden, owner of 29-year-old Louden Motorcar Services in Dallas, sees a common thread among the mechanics and technicians he's trained: "They have a mechanical aptitude and a knack for how things work." Also, he says, the good ones share a natural curiosity. They want to learn. "Growing up," Louden says, "these people took apart their alarm clocks, bikes and later their dad's cars." Louden, who holds a business degree from Florida State University, is a master certified technician who functions on the job more as a "coach than a doer." His shop, with its four techs (nine employees total), specializes in Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and Volvo models. The main ingredient for success, he says, is street smarts and a no-fear attitude toward computers. That and protecting your reputation. (Sun Herald)
  • A Reversal of Fortunes Transforms Washington D.C. leads the nation in new jobs and boasts a $27-million surplus Ten years ago, the District of Columbia seemed bent on self-destruction. Defiant voters had elected Marion Barry mayor, even though he had just served prison time for cocaine possession. The city's books were so deeply in the red and tainted by corruption that Congress stepped in to take over. The population was dropping by 10,000 people a year. The tax base was eroding. Time magazine dubbed the nation's capital the "District of Calamities." Today, at a time when many cities are struggling, Washington has become an urban juggernaut. The district has a $27-million budget surplus, a new baseball team — the Washington Nationals — and a booming economy. A diverse cultural scene that includes new museums, monuments, art galleries and restaurants is drawing the affluent middle class back to the city. (LATimes)
  • Local factors mean most for jobs A report by Northeastern University in Boston finds local schools, roads, taxes and crime rates are the most important factors in siting of businesses. The researchers interviewed industrial and commercial developers in the Boston region and surveyed 230 U.S. developers and business siting. They found that while many assume the state's economy is a prime factor in siting companies, local services are paramount. The survey found the availability of educated workers in a region, the ease of approvals and appeals, local traffic, local property taxes and the local crime rate are more important than the state tax rate, the Boston Globe reported Saturday. (UPI)


Wales:
  • Poor pensions and happy staff to make post-65 workforce soar THE number of people working on beyond the age of 65 is set to soar during the coming 15 years, according to Government figures. The Office for National Statistics expects the number of over-65s who are either still working or looking to work to rise to 775,000 by 2020 - a third more than the 582,000 over-65s who were economically active last year. The predicted rise is attributed to a combination of factors, including changes to occupational pensions, the introduction of anti-age discrimination legislation making it easier for people to work for longer, and changes to the way disability benefit is administered.
