You knew it wasn't going to be good for
Joel when he had to elicit his own round of applause upon being announced. I'm at that ERExpo in San Diego. I just walked out of Jason Goldberg's
Jobster presentation where he brought to the stage, Joel Cheesman for what
Joel was hyping as Jobster vs. Cheezhead. (Job

The Evolution of the Workforce
It seems I make a point of talking about the millennial generation (those
emerging into the workforce now), and how there seems to be a perception
that they are less motivated than prior generations. It's probably true that
they were given broader opportunities than prior generations while growing
up. This simply means that they generally had better travel experiences,
were open to more cultures, peoples and foods, had easier means of
communicating with many people including those in other countries or
continents. What this seems to mean is that the millennials value this rich
diversity in life and intend to pursue this during their working life as
well meaning they will value a work life balance that many of us would
consider to be very much weighted towards life than work. This is not a bad
thing. (Systematic HR)

Gen Y Hates Their Jobs
To anyone who has ever had discussions with friends or family about how much
they like or dislike their work, it should come as no surprise that the
Conference Board found in a survey of 5,000 U.S. households that many
Americans dislike their work. The group that disliked their work the most?
Gen Y, with more than 60 percent indicating that they are dissatisfied with
their current jobs. That low level of satisfaction was the lowest level ever
recorded in the nearly 20-year history of the survey. (College

A Recruiting Guide for Startups
Five suggestions
Today's entrepreneur is finding that it's harder than ever to attract top
talent. In the early days of the dot-com bubble of the 1990s, big employers
were rightfully scared of startups hiring their people away with promises of
unimagined riches, half-day ping-pong tournaments, and lavish parties. It
was like summer camp with stock options. (Lefkow

Plugging the Brain Drain, Crashing the
Gray Ceiling Warnings about the near apocalyptic "brain drain", when baby boomers
would leave the workforce en masse to travel, play golf, visit grandchildren
or consult, have been front-page news for nearly a
decade. Many forward-looking companies responded and have been putting
strategies in place to retain older, experience workers longer. The Society
for Human Resource Management reports that more than half(55%) of big U.S.
companies are "giving managers the tools to increase retention of
baby-boomers," including flexible or reduced schedules and retention
bonuses. (Human

SuccessFactors software helps companies like Wachovia manage their people, from performance reviews to aligning employee and business goals across the organization.
