Employee Engagement and the New Deal
Excerpt
Employee Engagement is of paramount importance to the success of your business. It is a key force behind success, impacting every aspect of how satisfied the customers are, how smoothly suppliers are involved into the production of the company's good or service, how efficiently tactical plans are carried out, how consciously quality and improvement are integrated into the company's practices, and bottom-line: how profitably a company performs. Think of employee engagement as the equivalent of customer loyalty.
Employee engagement brings benefits such as: greater operating income and earnings per share, greater sales growth, increased customer loyalty and satisfaction, large increases in employee discretionary effort, an ability to draw from a bigger pool of talent, greater alignment with organizational strategy, an improved bottom line, and greater sustainability in the face of business challenge. Contrast these benefits with the costs of disengagement: low morale, dysfunctional teamwork, high absenteeism, lack of commitment, high turnover, increased recruitment and training efforts, etc.

IT Staffing Issues Affecting Deployment of Emerging Technology
By Robert Teal, CCP, CBP
There is growing evidence that shortages in qualified IT staffs are impairing the ability of some organizations to implement new and emerging technologies and thus hamper growth and productivity.

As organizations are increasingly ramping up their research, development, and deployment teams, the search for talent with the "right stuff" will be pursued by everyone, including your top competitors. This pursuit of talent has the potential to create a self-escalating feeding frenzy as organizations seek to snatch the talent they need for that next new application. Certainly, off-shoring has many great potential benefits, but it certainly has the equal opportunity for pitfalls. If you do not already have a selection model in place, here are some tips you may find useful . . .
