CATCHING FIRE: WORDS of WISDOM ABOUT and FROM MILLENNIALS- LESSONS FROM MILLENNIALS Part II -

-
Image
A lot has been said about Millennials. There are you tube videos , articles , blogs , research and polls... Most of them trying to help us understand this new generation. They appear as aggressive, daring, intimidating,  careless, smart, fast, clueless, in sum "different," regardless on who sees them. They certainly have many faces. Turning a New Leaf With Millennials © 2013 AR_HRCom-Millennials Those of us who have been working side by side with them have most likely experienced mixed feelings. It is basically turning a new leaf. Let's move toward greener fields! These young  partners can be exuberant and very lively and their concerns about professional or personal life can feel overwhelming. Often times you get what you see and hear. Does it make your assessment easier? I doubt. To me the challenge in assessment comes from the necessity to distance oneself from the individual. The ability to intellectualize things in this matter is a real gift. I can dea...

True Passion of the Explorer, the new Deliverable ...Communication in the Marketplace Series - Part IV

Metrics Need to Matter! ©AR_HRComatrix_Passion           PASSIONATE  EMPLOYEES AND MARKET CHANGES One advantage of being neutral and respected is that you hear from quite a few people in the organization, in one way or another. Of course, there are the few who have a big ego or a low self-esteem (the manifestation is the same) who are going to try to antagonize whoever crosses their paths, but overall people feel comfortable talking to you, or even confiding in you because you are approachable to them.    Through many encounters, most of them casual, I could see, discern and feel how people care about their jobs and working environment. I often hear "I just want to do my job and go home but..." and the "but" is followed by unanswered questions on why and how things are done or not meeting certain standards. Questions are raised about scores and goals: whys and hows...Those ARE the passionate one...

HEALTHCARE BENEFITS & ACA REQUIREMENTS SNAPSHOT

-
Image
© 2014 AR_HRCom-Ad_Healthcare Here we are stepping into January 2014, and the healthcare subject is of a major concern to employees and employers alike. Until now, decisions on eligibility for voluntary benefits has been the employer's prerogative. Health benefits were by essence not a mandated benefit. The landscape of healthcare regulations has dramatically changed with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Nothing seems to be really firmly set yet. One thing appears to be certain: the cost is skyrocketing at all levels . By now, large employers have already rolled out their programs and made necessary addition to their benefits staff. Individuals who wanted coverage to start with the new year have already filed their applications. It is somewhat different for smaller employers since their mandate on Healthcare coverage requirements is being delayed. In any event, here are a few key points as a reminder or a reference for those of us who still need it. QUICK RE...

Why is Your Company a Revolving Door? - Turnover and ROI series: Part I-

-

Rate of Turnover © 2014 AR_HRCom-Al_TO Turnover (TO) has always been a sensitive issue. It is usually known as bad since one often refers to high turnover whenever talking about the subject. Definitely, I would agree with the school of thought under which any input of new blood way over 10%   is detrimental to any company. Is there an ideal turnover rate? It is interesting to see how some HR or HR-related professionals or practitioners in some sectors consider their TO rate of 85 to 150% normal or standard! Others think that a 5 to 8% rate is high. Adversely 0% TO for a long period of time cannot be good for any organization: it is not stability, it is stagnation. According to the SHRM 2012-2013 benchmarking database , the average turnover was around 10%, with the highest being in services of accommodation, food and drinking places at 30% and five year average tenure, and the lowest being in the arts, entertainment and culture industry at 5% TO and average of nine y...

©AR_HRComatrix_SCharlie C ommunication is powerful, today more than ever, with social media . Frontiers are erased . Time elapses. Things and situations take a different dimension. Everything is "here and now ". This week, " Je suis Charlie " has been the most recent and poignant picture of the power of communication. All started and ended in the workplace . Chilling for HR and Safety people. P eople all the over the world spend most of their time at work . The typical workday is about six to eight hours in the the US with the new approach to the notion of full time job . In France it is typically eight hours, with often some flexibility, and despite the official 35 hours a week. . How can we protect workers against unexpected violence since they spend most of their time at work? H R is not about damage control ; it is about proactivity . Disturbingly enough, only 31% of workplaces in the US seem to be proactive in emergency preparedness, acco...
