Solutions proposed to help onboarding and adaptation include education, communication, mentoring, coaching and individualized learning paths.
Kaizen Success: From Making Excuses to Solving Problems
We often hear people say that continuous improvement is important (often stated on websites, mission statements, etc.) but when it comes down to it, leaders say things like “we don’t have time for kaizen.” The most effective organizations don’t let things like that become as an excuse… they turn those into problem statements. If kaizen is important, how can we CREATE time for kaizen? I can share some examples from healthcare organizations that are moving from excuses to action, turning everybody into a problem solver every day.
The document discusses a Lean Startup Seattle meetup hosted by Kelsye Nelson and Misty Weaver about content strategy. It provides tips on listening to audiences using social media to understand their pains and interests.

The meetup covers best practices for developing titles, summaries, headlines and applying topics/hashtags for social media.
Cisco created a best workplace for millennials by focusing on high-trust culture, great leaders, and support for real-life needs. They developed benefits like emergency time off, volunteer days, fair pay and student loan repayment assistance. Leaders are expected to have regular check-ins with their teams. The goal is to retain millennial talent, who will make up 75% of the workforce by 2025, by addressing what they most want in a workplace.
Employee Experience - Lessons from High Performing CompaniesSergio Onorato
The employee survey world is changing. Companies large and small, across all industries and regions, are eager to
move beyond sole reliance on a traditional survey event to
a more agile employee listening strategy. This trend is being driven by advances in technology that allow organizations to deploy a range of targeted listening tools on a more ongoing, continuous basis. These include pulse surveys, onboarding and exit surveys, online chats and jams, social media scans and more.
1. Mitchell Services implemented a "Safety Differently" approach to improve safety culture and reduce injuries among their workers. This involved shifting from a blame-based model to focusing on ethical responsibility, viewing people as solutions rather than problems, and emphasizing positive capacities over just eliminating negatives.
2. Key aspects of the new approach included "Crew Chats" for open discussion, focusing on successes rather than just failures, and field leaders prioritizing understanding controls and improving work processes through questions rather than just identifying risks.
3. The changes led to reduced injury severity, more engaged workers, and a shift in mindset across the organization regarding their approach to safety.

Editor's Notes
The competition for talent continues to heat up. According to Manpower's 2014 Talent Shortage Survey, 40% of US employers experience difficulty filling jobs. As the power in the job market shifts from employer to candidate, understanding job seeker trends enables organizations to fine tune recruitment strategies and provides leverage for prospective candidates.
SUCCESSFUL RECRUITING IS ABOUT MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH CANDIDATES ON THEIR OWN TERMS. MOBILE.
Majority of Internet usage initiated via mobile for the first time ever.
Mobile is a groundbreaker for all Internet behavior.
Jobvite's own research reveals that of the 1,855 recruiters surveyed for their annual Social Recruiting Survey have a mobile recruiting strategy in place, 14% are seeing reduced time-to-hire and 13% report finding higher-quality candidates.oday's candidates look for vacancies on the move. Kelton Global Research revealed that 86% of job seekers begin a job search on their mobile. Employers with mobile optimized sites will benefit as job seekers veer towards organizations offering a straightforward '1 click apply' facility on their careers site.
Leveraging & Social Networks is the new one, two punch.
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn…are recruiting POWERHOUSES.
70% of smartphone users visit FB on their devices; more than 2M jobs are listed on Facebook's Social Job Partnership application, cites Forbes.
LinkedIn, the ultimate mobile recruiting tool, has its own mobile recruiting playbook.
Leveraging socMed improves candidate quality by 44% over using only traditional recruiting techniques like phone screenings and filtering resumes based solely on skills and experience.
SocMed allows a better glimpse into their lifestyle, values and their cultural fit, which is crucial for companies looking not just to recruit and hire, but to also engage employees and improve retention rates.
SPEED. Today's job seekers target employers who nurture online talent communities and communicate consistently throughout the hiring process. Unhappy candidates vocalize their experience on Glassdoor, not just employees. Job applicants often expect immediate attention, especially if they are in high demand. Stay in touch with them through quick text messages, emails or phone calls. Make sure your recruiters have a smart phone that they can use anywhere," according to LinkedIn. The early bird gets the juiciest worm.
The Bottom-Line.
A solid mobile recruiting strategy will help ensure your organization is best positioned to find and attract candidates on their own terms, and make the application process smoother is BETTER, FASTER, CHEAPER.
Source, Engage, Interview, OnBoard on your SmartPhone. There's an app for that. Here are 5 apps for streamlining, organizing and managing recruiting and hiring.
SmartRecruiters features job postings, ATS, candidate assessments, direct sourcing, analytics and even a platform for candidate feedback on the process. The solution includes a mobile app, and is free for the basic solution. Premium options include analytics and upgraded levels of support; pricing for the premium options varies by job posting.
iCIMS - an HR management suite that handles everything from sourcing to recruitment marketing to applicant tracking and onboarding from within one pure SaaS, Web-based application and is available via any Web browser, even on a mobile device. ICIMS also integrates with HRIS, ERP, payroll and other solutions. Pricing starts at $299 per month.
JobDiva is a recruiting and staffing app delivered via a SaaS model. In addition to talent management and an applicant tracking system, JobDiva includes CRM and financial management capabilities. Pricing is based on number of users, and customers can access a free iOS or Android app.
getTalent - lets recruiters add a plug-in to their job listings and recruiting pages so candidates can join a career community. The idea is to keep candidates engaged, even if their skills and experience aren't a fit for current job openings. The solution is currently available via invitation only, but interested parties can sign up for access at the company's site.
WePow Recruiter - a sourcing, talent-management and recruiting app that includes the capability to perform video interviewing of candidates. The app also includes collaboration tools to facilitate better communication between recruiters and hiring managers. There are free iOS applications for both recruiter and candidate users available via Apple's App Store.
Talent X-ray - CareerCloud’s new mobile sourcing application. The app allows for unlimited keyword searches of LinkedIn, Twitter and Google+ -- but doesn't offer Facebook integration yet -- for candidates without logging in to those platforms. The app costs $2.99 and is available for Android and iOS devices.
CULTURE powers Employee referrals: As talent gets scarce, employee referrals will become a primary source of quality hires. Serious candidates are adopting a more strategic approach which includes the development of a well-connected professional network as an integral part of their job search. Where do they want to work? Where people who like what they like are.
•The perpetual job search: A Right Management survey revealed that 86% of professionals planned to look for a new job in 2015 with the majority constantly open to explore new opportunities. While compensation is important, as Google's head of HR pointed out, work has to be meaningful too. Employers must provide a culture that matches the aspirations of today's job seekers. Friends tell their friends who tell their friends. What will they say about you?
1) SOCIAL MEDIA and Continuous Learning Continues To Grow In Significance. Social media ihas lived up to its hype. It’s an amazing talent management, branding and employee engagement tool. For example – by creating a 3-dimensional profile of an applicant (Google the person’s name-Wink), talent simply leaps out. Peoples quirks, interesting detours, offbeat skills all come to life as we learn more about people’s personalities and “real lives”. As do certain negatives like rigid ideology, or a tendency to be snarky or combative. Within an organization, social media, social learning and big data are an unparalleled communication and cohesion tool if understood and utilized correctly.
2) REAL TIME MANAGEMENT MATTERS. Tools that allow continuous monitoring of performance are better for everyone. A formal employee review every six months is fast becoming obsolete. What is far more important is software that enables us to stay on top of things in real time. Problems are nipped in the bud and the good stuff like recognition, gamification and rewards are in place to offer more productive employee relationships that can be nurtured. No more playing catch-up. Real time monitoring gives HR and Leaders more power to do more good and weed out the people who are not a good fit.
3.) MOBILE. MOBILE. MOBILE. Millennials view desktops as a relic from the past. The world is growing evermore global and mobile and HR has to be, too.
