Worst ways to get fired

No one expects companies to be the warmest, fuzziest creatures. But some of their behaviors can be stunningly (and, you might argue, stupidly) cold.
You probably have never done a perp walk, been suspected of stealing or been treated as if you were a toxic agent. Yet you may feel like you have if you ever are laid off by a company that practices some of the moves ripped straight from The Corporate Guide to Crazy.  The list of dehumanized moves is long and not likely to get shorter in an age where speed, telecommuting, cost cutting, efficiency and assets rather than human capital are king. "The things that get done in the name of expediency are quite shocking," said Dale Klamfoth, senior vice president at WJM Associates, an executive and organizational development firm. (CNNMoney)

India:
Internal branding
Traditional belief about branding - and the biggest myth in the world of business - continues to be that branding is for external purposes, for communicating to consumers and that it is the exclusive preserve of the marketing function. Then came the belief that advertising, PR, database and direct marketing, interactive media must all create a consistent impression, and thus was born integrated branding, 360-degree branding, total branding and what have you. Not to mention PR agencies, direct marketing agencies and interactive agencies. But you may notice, that there aren't, as yet, organisations that specialise in what is called internal branding. (Business Line)

UK:
Make your employer brand more about substance and less about spin
Employers need to become much clearer and consistent about how they manage their workers and what they want from them if they are to make the most of their employer brand, the man who coined the term has warned. Simon Barrow, who this month publishes the first book on the concept, has warned that, while companies are more than happy to bandy about the idea of having an employer brand, few in reality understand fully what this means. (Management Issues)

Only a Quarter of Organisations Measure Employer Brand Investment
Despite employee engagement being the current buzzword, an international Employer Brand survey of over 500 HR executives by global talent solutions business, Bernard Hodes, found that only six out of 10 employers have a formal employer branding effort in place. One possible reason is that Employer Brand programmes can be hard to justify to the bottom-line. Only a quarter, (24%) of respondents noted that their organisations were able to measure their employer brand in terms of recruitment and retention. Even fewer, one in eight (13%) indicated that the value of their employer brand is calibrated by their overall company performance. (OnRec)

US:
The IRS is Outsourcing
Got back taxes? Private collection agencies may be calling you.

Beginning this week, about 12,500 people across the country who owe taxes to the federal government will be getting phone calls to pay up. But the calls will be coming from private collection agencies -- not the Internal Revenue Service. So if you owe less than $25,000 to Uncle Sam, get ready for the Tax Man's backup men. (WTRF)

Thousands already cut from HP adjust to losing HP way of life
If everyone laid off by Hewlett-Packard moved to the same city this autumn, they would fill all the houses and apartments in Cupertino -- and 2,600 people would still need homes. Welcome to ex-HPville: population 53,100. These days, tech companies keep chiseling away at their workforces. The latest layoffs are coming from Intel, which announced Tuesday that it is axing 10,500 jobs. (MercuryNews)

The Thorny Cultural Thicket of Outsourcing, Part 2
Firms must ditch the concept that customer complaints arise from superficial or surface reasons such as having to converse with someone with an accent, says Patrick Morrissey, senior vice president of Savvion. "Ultimately, if a problem gets solved, then the customer doesn't care where the rep is located." Many Americans have come to dread hearing a foreign accent when a customer service representative comes on the line, assuming that such agents will be ill-equipped to help them. In fact, as Part 1 of this two-part series notes, many would rather speak to someone blatantly rude or condescending than to a person whose English inflection differs from their own. (CRMBuyer)

The top 50 employers for new college grads

Like many other baseball fans, Joe Kosa, 28, is spending his Sunday glued to a TV. But relaxed he's not. Instead, the ESPN (DIS ) production assistant is stationed in front of dozens of flat-screen TVs tuned to global sporting events at the headquarters of the Disney-owned network. He's furiously jotting down notes to weave into a storyline that will be read in 60 seconds flat on tonight's 6 p.m. SportsCenter broadcast. (BusinessWeek)

Monster Names Former Nike, SEEK Executive To Head Asia Pacific Region
Who better to build Monster Worldwide's Asia Pacific operations than an experienced marketing manager who helped expand one of the world's biggest brands with a swoosh across the Pacific Rim? That's the notion that moved Monster Worldwide to recruit former Nike executive Tony Balfour as president of its Asia Pacific operations, a newly created position the online recruiting giant hopes will help propel the growth of its existing operations in India, South Korea, China, and elsewhere in the region.

Hollywood calling
Want Tom Cruise's now-vacant job? Here's what you need to know.

HELP WANTED: Media conglomerate seeks qualified applicant to fill movie-star position recently vacated after 14 years. High salary and generous benefits package included. Candidate may be any age, although employer would prefer a younger job-seeker. More important is the applicant's ability to sell tickets internationally in large quantities. In order to accomplish desired task, applicant would need to have a winning smile and modest acting abilities. He or she (this company does not discriminate on the basis of sex, although a male applicant would be desirable) does not have the time to develop a career. The company is looking for someone who is an established movie star and has the ambition to move to the next level (superstar). (Orange County Register)

Kind networkers can encounter its ugly underbelly
Intern horror stories
The nonprofit group where Sadie Dingfelder works was looking for a new Web designer a few months ago. And so when she met an unemployed friend of a friend at a party who told her he had just that background, she thought she could help.  ``It sounded like he had a lot of experience," she said. She kindly told him to send her his resume and she would assist him. As an editor, she figured she could look it over, give him some tips, and then forward the resume to the hiring managers.  Dingfelder's offer is every job seeker's dream: an ``in" that will help his resume stand out among hundreds that are e-mailed or sent to ``To whom it may concern."  But there is an ugly underbelly to networking, as Dingfelder soon discovered.

Deep Release:
Inc. Magazine Reveals Its 25th Annual List of America's 500 Fastest-Growing Private Companies

 - HRsmart, Ranks No.351 on the 2006 Inc. 500 With Three-Year Sales Growth of 392.8%
 - 2006 List First to Include Businesses That Started Immediately Before and After 9/11
 - D.C., NYC, L.A., Boston, and Atlanta Are Home to Fastest Growing Businesses in the U.S.
 - More Than 10% of Inc. 500 CEOs Were Born Outside the U.S.
 - List Shows IT Services, Health, Retail, Real Estate and Human Resources as Top Industries

Inc. magazine has announced its 25th annual Inc. 500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. A leading global talent management solution provider, HRsmart, ranks No. 351 on the list, with three-year growth of 392.8 percent, In addition, it becomes part of the elite who have made the Inc. 500 list three times. Prior to the 2006 Inc. 500 list, only 650 companies have made the list three times in the entire 24-year history.

HRsmart's CEO Mark Hamdan credits an increased focus on efficient, cost-effective talent acquisition by organizations resulting in the need for innovative technology with the company's 392-percent growth from 20032005. "In recent years, many organizations have increased their focus on acquiring good, solid talent quickly while controlling costs through automation," said Mark Hamdan, CEO of HRsmart. "This phenomenon has led to Human Resources playing a much more strategic role within organizations, requiring them to automate additional functions such as performance management, succession planning and corporate learning."

HRsmart plans to continue recognizing record growth as human resources holds a more visible role within organizations. Companies are recognizing the value of technology solutions for retaining their talent and HRsmart will remain on the cusp of new technology, having successfully implemented performance appraisal, learning management and succession planning solutions in several Fortune 500 companies.

The 2006 Inc. 500, as revealed in the September issue of Inc., reported the most robust bunch of companies the magazine has ever compiled, with aggregate revenue of $19.7 billion, up from $16.5 billion last year and $12.9 billion in 2000. The two largest companies on this year's Inc. 500 are the biggest ever to make the list No. 170 Western Refining ($3.4 billion in revenue) and No. 376 Newegg.com ($1.26 billion) and the third and fourth companies in Inc. 500 history to crack the billion-dollar mark. In all, 14 companies topped $200 million in annual revenue, compared with 11 last year.

Most important, the 2006 Inc. 500 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 90,000 jobs since those companies were founded.

This year's list is the first to include businesses that started up immediately before and after September 11, 2001 including the No. 1 company and 20 companies in the top 50 as well as many companies that had to raise capital after the dot-com bubble burst. In total, 104 companies listed on this year's Inc. 500 were started after 2000.

"If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500," said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. "These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones coming up with solutions to some of our most intractable ills, creating systems that let us conduct business faster and easier, and manufacturing products we soon discover we can't live without. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine's tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition."

Hottest Regions for Fastest-Growing Companies Federal spending again propels a large number of companies from Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland onto the Inc. 500.

Washington, D.C., is the top metropolitan area for the fourth consecutive year, with 43 of the fastest-growing companies, an increase of one over last year. New York City is a close second and the biggest gainer, adding 17 companies for a total of 42 companies this year, followed by Los Angeles with 25 (down seven companies from last year), Boston with 24 (down three companies), and Atlanta with 20 (no change).

California is the state with the most Inc. 500 companies 66 (down from 77 last year). Virginia and New York both are home to 34 of the fastest-growing companies, followed by Texas (32) and Massachusetts (28).

The Immigration Debate

At least 55 of this year's Inc. 500 CEOs were born outside the U.S., coming from countries as far-flung as Argentina, the United Kingdom, India, Russia, Pakistan, and the Philippines. The companies they run employ more than 14,300 workers and contributed more than $1.36 billion to the economy last year. Other countries may offer cheaper business costs (India, China) or more incentives for entrepreneurs (Ireland, Taiwan), but America still retains its land-of-opportunity glow for these CEOs.

Hottest Industries for Fastest-Growing Businesses
The largest business category among this year's Inc. 500 is IT Services, with 68 companies in this category. Health (36 companies), Retail (35 companies), Real Estate (30 companies), and Human Resources (29 companies) round out the top industries ranked on the 2006 Inc. 500.

Methodology

The 2006 Inc. 500 list measures revenue growth from 2002 through 2005. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based, privately held independent not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies as of December 31, 2005, and have, and have at least $600,000 in net sales in the base year.
