Social Networking Redefines Landscape for Job Seekers Around the World
Latest Kelly Global Workforce Index™ Report Finds
In the survey, respondents were asked a series of questions relating to their use of social networking as an employment tool, including identifying what social networking sites are most frequently used for searching for jobs and by what method they obtained their last job. The survey also sought to identify the impact of social media content on people’s careers, and issues regarding the use of social networking within the workplace.
Online job boards have become the dominant source for people to find work, with more than a quarter (26 percent) of respondents using them to secure their most recent job, ahead of other job search tools - word-of-mouth (22 percent), recruitment and staffing companies (17 percent), direct approaches from employers (17 percent), print advertisements (7 percent) and social media sites (1 percent).
The Current State of Employee Attitudes
Up, Down, or Sideways?
As the economy recovers, many business leaders are wondering and worrying about their workforce. Are employees engaged and committed or exhausted and burned out? Are they clear about strategic initiatives or confused by competing commitments? Are they confident about the future or making plans to quit?
Human Capital Trends 2011 - Revolution/Evolution
Events of the past few years have brought sweeping changes to business and new challenges for the Human Resources (HR) leaders who support them. Two broad themes — innovation and global markets — have taken a front-row seat in human capital organizations around the world. From evolving technologies and process breakthroughs to new organizational models, new markets, new customers, and new approaches to talent, the power of fresh thinking runs deep and strong. This is Deloitte’s 2011 report on 12 significant trends that are shifting the HR landscape. Some evolutionary and some revolutionary, these trends are transforming how human capital leaders and professionals create value for the organizations they serve, their people, and their communities — both inside HR and across the broader business.
All of these trends are relevant today. Each has demonstrated significant momentum and potential to have an impact— and each is important enough to support immediate consideration. Forward-thinking organizations should consider developing an explicit strategy in each area, even if that strategy is to wait and see. But whatever you do, stay ahead.

The Missing Piece of Absence Management— Turning Data into Dollars
There is no universal definition of absenteeism, but generally speaking, absence encompasses a broad spectrum of events including job-protected federal and state leaves, sick time, paid time off, workers compensation, short- and long-term disability, and many other reasons.
Another reason for employers to come to grips with absence in the workplace is a growing body of state and federal regulations that statutorily protect employees when they need to take time off for their own illnesses, those of family members, and circumstances surrounding qualified service members. The Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determined that 53 percent of complaints filed by employees for violation of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) were valid in 2008, the most recent year for which statistics are available.1 It is not only the employer organization that is at risk for FMLA violations; individual supervisors and managers can be held personally responsible for actions taken in response to FMLA issues.

Sparking creativity in teams: An executive’s guide
Although creativity is often considered a trait of the privileged few, any individual or team can become more creative—better able to generate the breakthroughs that stimulate growth and performance. In fact, our experience with hundreds of corporate teams, ranging from experienced C-level executives to entry-level customer service reps, suggests that companies can use relatively simple techniques to boost the creative output of employees at any level.
How Do Generational Differences Impact Organizations and Teams?
Part 1
Although most organizations pour time and resources into achieving and encouraging diversity, many limit their definition of diversity to gender and ethnicity. One of the most daunting diversity challenges — generational diversity — often goes overlooked and unaddressed.
For the first time in history, employers are struggling to balance the different needs and working styles of four different generations in the workforce. However, many organizations leave employees and workplace teams on their own to deal these issues rather than provide guidance and support.
Part 2 will be available in the July Wire.
The CIO's 2012 Prep: Coping with Uncertainty
How has your organization done during the last few years? Has it recovered from the recession? Perhaps it never felt the economic meltdown at all. What about your IT organization? Were projects put on hold as IT coped with stringent cost controls and cutbacks? Were staffing levels cut? Whatever your answers, in the aftermath of the 2008 economic downturn, most CIOs and other IT executives stopped to ponder what happens next.
Workforce Solutions Review
June/July 2011 “The Role of IT in Business Strategy” is the theme of our June/July 2011 issue. Our intent with this issue is to give HR professionals an opportunity to share thoughts and ideas with their IT and HRIT teams and start a HR business conversation, with a basis in technology. We have some great authors including Lisa Rowan from IDC, Amy Wilson from Constellation Research, and a fantastic point/counterpoint interview with Jim Holincheck and Naomi Bloom. Topics covered will include HR outsourcing trends, mobile HCM analytics, calculating true costs and ROI of software customization, and how organizations are empowering innovation and agility with their HR systems. All in all, it's shaping up to be an issue you don't want to miss! This issue also features our Mid-Year Buyer’s Guide.
August/September 2011 "Translating Human Capital into the Language of Business: Avoiding the Imminent Downfall of HR!" This call to arms for HR leadership kicks off our August/September 2011 issue focused on Workforce Analytics and Business Intelligence. Clearly one of the hottest topics in our market today, this issue explores the business criticality of effective workforce intelligence. We cover all facets of this topic, from trends and leading practices, to the emergence and impact of social networking and predictive analysis on the next generation of workforce intelligence. The issue includes practical guidance and case studies demonstrating the application of analytical rigor in key business decisions, as well as creating a culture where HR metrics are trusted and driving strategic decisions at the board level. Contributors to this issue include industry expert Joanne Bintliff-Ritchie from JBR Associates, blogger Josh Letourneau from Knight & Bishop, Dan Hilbert, CEO of Orca Eyes, Bill Kutik of HRE, Jeff Higgins of HCMI, and many others representing the consulting, vendor and HR practitioner community. Many industry surveys show increased investments in this area; don’t miss out on this highly informative issue to drive the right results for your organization. Plus our HR Outsourcing Buyer’s Guide.
