It’s Human Inventory That’s the Most Valuable
When asked, all great business leaders will tell you it’s the capital that rides the elevators to and from the office every day that means the most.
“I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person,” says Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook.
Companies of all sizes know that it’s […]
Google New Venture Capital Business
Ask people what type of company Google is, you're likely to hear the word "search" repeated fairly often. Yet that definition became obsolete years ago, when Google began devoting enormous resources to mobile and other emerging technologies.
Mentoring Coaching Millennials
Millennials have moved into the workplace in force; according to Pew Research, they've already surpassed Gen Xers as the single largest demographic cohort in the modern day labor force. Given their outsize numbers and increasing importance, organizations that can effectively reach Millennials and offer them the kind of career development they're seeking are best positioned to compete for young talent.
Amazon Whole Foods Merger
The recent announcement of Amazon's $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods was met with shock in many quarters. The implications of this blockbuster deal are far reaching: While supermarkets must contend with an innovative, wealthy and aggressive new competitor, consumer goods producers will also need to re-evaluate their Amazon strategies -- and customers in the years ahead may find the grocery shopping experience they have grown accustomed to has been re-imagined.
How HR Personalization Affects Businesses
Today, we live in a world where things are tailored to our specifications. Smart companies use data analysis to know not only what we're looking for, but when and how we want it. When we're online, we're presented with custom ads designed to meet our specific needs and desires at that moment. Amazon seems to know what we want to buy before we do; Netflix, meanwhile, offers us a personalized selection of films based on our viewing habits.
Sustainable Energy and Job Recruitment
Deciding to incorporate sustainable energy into a business is an admirable goal. It's also a strategy that's becoming more prevalent. Google, for example, is on the record saying it aims to power 100-percent of its operations with renewable energy sources. While the technology giant is still quite far from that goal, the overall pace of sustainable energy adoption continues to increase.
Veteran skill and employability
Smart hiring managers and recruiters are always seeking an edge in terms of identifying the most talented prospective workers. Part of that involves looking in places where talent is underutilized or lies undiscovered -- and candidates with military experience often fall into this category.
What Is The Future Of VR In Business?
In an era of exciting new technologies, virtual reality (VR) may be the most compelling of them all. Consumer VR systems, such as the Oculus Rift, are growing in popularity, as the technology has grown more refined and costs have been lowered. After decades of false starts, VR has reached a point where the experiences are immersive enough to truly feel real. As the world's largest tech companies pour billions into VR research, we're likely to see startling advances in the power and application of VR.
How Will Automation Affect Healthcare Jobs?
If anyone should feel confident about the future, it is those working in the healthcare industry. Thanks to a rapidly aging population and advances in late-life medicine, job growth in the healthcare field has been stratospheric. The field employs more than one in 10 Americans, and is projected to add more jobs than any other industry over the next decade.
Hiring Changes Food Industry
Similar to every other major industry, food manufacturing isn't immune to the rapid advance of technology and changing market conditions. The global food giant, Kellogg, recently announced it would lay off 1,100 workers in a bid to improve efficiency. The layoffs, which follow similar job reductions at other major industry producers, come at a time of great change in the grocery industry.
