There are millions of people on Twitter and everyone has their
own motive for being there. I love Twitter for many reasons.
It's a great hub of life on the social web; to pick up news,
trends, track your brand, meet new people, do research, and to
support just about any issue that matters to you personally.
I love staying connected to our People Report community, and
having a way to keep up with colleagues all over the map. But
the ONE thing I love the most about Twitter is...

During our recent People Report Workforce Symposium, more
famously known as Summer Camp , there were a lot of discussions
about how individuals and companies are faring and feeling, as they
come out of this unprecedented recession. I would describe
the mood as "timid optimism". It has been politically
incorrect to be openly upbeat for so long that most people either
have survivor's guilt, or they are still waiting for the other shoe
to drop. So when Chester Elton, the ...

Every once in awhile I find myself on what I call the "comfort
zone plateau." I recently just jumped out of a comfort zone
plateau. Basically, I was working hard, extremely customer focused
and maximizing results. Many people would applaud this type of work
effort because it does produce amazing results, creates forward
progress and delivers high levels of customer satisfaction. At the
same time I was operating ...

Okay, so unemployment is at 10% and the economy has lost over 8
million jobs since this recession began. You don't have to be
an economist to know that this is, shall we say, less than
ideal. However, the untold story is that for those of us who
are fortunate enough to have jobs, life goes on… only with a longer
to-do list and the added stress that comes with it. There are
now fewer hands to help push that boulder up the mountain and we
all know that boulders don't move the...

As unemployment has risen over the past couple of years, we've
seen turnover fall to record lows. This really should come as
no surprise-it's basic economics: the supply of workers
increases as the demand for workers goes down. And when the
demand for workers is low and there is little competition among
employers for workers, wage growth is stagnant.
This, in a nutshell, is what we've just experienced. These
were a few of the effects of "The Great Recession." But...

Despite significant debate and concern among by the majority of
Americans, Congress recently passed a health reform bill on a
straight party-line vote (possibly cementing it's 11% approval
rating). While portions of the bill are not without merit,
noble intentions often have very real consequences. Complying
with the 2,074 pages of government dictates will be time consuming
and financially taxing (figuratively and literally). It will be
months before it is all understood, and yea...

Budgets are still tight and resources are stretched thin.
I know - duh. In spite of the recent spate of seemingly
"better" news, these are the realities of the current market place.
We are all being forced to do much more with much less. As a
result, much of your company's performance depends on the effort
and innovation of those team members you currently have. So
how do you motivate those workers? How do you get the most
out of them?
