2. To avoid this, leaders must communicate regularly with employees at all levels, accept criticism without dismissal, hold multiple types of group meetings, and be honest, loyal, and ethical in their dealings with employees.
3. Leaders also need to understand employees' jobs and lives by periodically performing their roles, protect the workforce, and show appreciation for employees' achievements and importance to the organization. Failing to follow these practices risks organizational failure.

Let's face it - the competition for top talent is fierce, and the best employees are looking for more than just a job. They want options, and they want meaning. Check out these 7 areas HR can fine tune to ensure they're attracting and keeping the right talent around.
It is time to conduct a “reset” exercise and put employee
engagement back in its proper place and perspective. This paper
identifies five areas that our research has shown to be
potentially troublesome for companies - especially in terms of
helping them frame their expectations in the most reasonable,
realistic and productive ways. We have discussed them here to
help you understand the true power of aligning employee drives
and needs with those of your company
The document outlines 5 reasons why companies should hire the long term unemployed. It notes that over 3.6 million Americans are considered unemployable due to being out of work for over 6 months. The 5 reasons provided are: 1) Increasing the talent pool by considering more candidates, 2) Fresh perspectives from time spent reflecting on careers, 3) Varied experience from short term contracts, 4) Large professional networks developed, and 5) Enthusiasm and loyalty from those eager to rejoin the workforce. Hiring the long term unemployed can provide benefits to companies and help address economic problems.
1) A study found that agency employees receive little training, around 16 hours per year on average, and over 30% plan to leave their jobs within a year as employee satisfaction and loyalty have declined.
2) Good agency employees value intellectual challenge, growth opportunities, varied work, and feeling respected for their ideas rather than being viewed as interchangeable production tools.
3) If agencies do not focus on attracting and retaining top talent through leadership, mentoring, training, and engaging employees intellectually, they risk high employee turnover that could damage the agency long term.
Employee turnover in the nonprofit industry is at 20% and climbing. This presentation will help explain why, and give you 7 simple ways to reduce employee turnover in your agency.
The document discusses the hidden financial risks to businesses posed by poor employee engagement and high staff turnover. It notes that while businesses often focus on quickly replacing departing employees, the real damage comes from "disengaged remainers" - unhappy employees who stay but undermine the business. The document advocates that businesses must accurately measure engagement, understand the full costs of attrition including lost productivity and knowledge, and make improving engagement a top priority in order to boost profitability, customer satisfaction, and reduce absenteeism and turnover. It claims that most organizations fail to properly account for the financial impacts of disengagement and attrition, which can amount to millions of pounds annually."
This document provides a summary of Hamaidu Fadika's results from CareerLeader assessments in interests, motivators, and skills taken on May 25, 2015. It shows that his highest interests are in influencing others, creative production, and coaching/mentoring. His top motivators are power/influence, lifestyle, and security. He is most confident in his interpersonal effectiveness skills and power/influence skills compared to other business professionals. The document provides analysis and descriptions of the implications of his key results areas.
The document discusses six key factors for assessing an organization's health and success:
1. Success and reputation - how the organization defines and communicates success internally
2. Leadership - ensuring leaders communicate frequently and link actions to business conditions
3. Challenging work - ensuring employees' work is appropriately challenging through feedback mechanisms
4. Opportunities for growth - having promotion processes and celebrating promotions
5. Total rewards - communicating a philosophy around various reward programs, not just compensation
6. Sense of community - creating frameworks and culture to foster trust and common purpose among employees
The document advocates reviewing these factors, especially during economic uncertainty, to strengthen organizational foundations.
The document discusses how to unleash the untapped talents of employees. It recommends assessing employees' competencies and matching them to responsibilities. It also suggests getting the most out of employees by motivating them, providing training, and challenging them. The document stresses creating a happy workforce through flexible schedules, family friendliness, and automating repetitive tasks. It advises assessing employee performance regularly and soliciting employee input to improve the business.
In this blog, we’ll discuss types of employee attrition, employee attrition analysis, employee attrition rate formula, employee attrition vs turnover, and many more.
This document discusses employee attrition (turnover), which refers to employees leaving their jobs. It provides definitions of attrition and attrition rate. Some of the key reasons for attrition discussed include higher pay elsewhere, poor working conditions, lack of career advancement opportunities, and personal reasons. Specific to the insurance industry, the document notes attrition rates of 35-40% for agents due to the high-pressure nature of the work and difficulties sustaining business over time. Calculating accurate attrition rates can be challenging for organizations.
White Paper- Building Success in an Uncertain Economy- CEOs Reveal Their HR M...Wes Guzman
- The document discusses best practices for HR management strategies during uncertain economic times based on interviews with two CEOs, Govi Rao and Tom Hayse.
- The CEOs agree that the best practices for managing employees, such as hiring selectively based on fit and skills, providing training and benefits, and making strategic staffing changes, should be followed in both good and bad economies.
- Specific strategies discussed include recruiting entrepreneurial employees, conducting thorough interviews before hiring, training new employees personally, reviewing teams regularly to determine optimal size, offering competitive benefits, and maintaining a focus on company culture during difficult times.
2. Assessing Yourself And Your SituationJohn Buckley
This document provides advice and information for those undergoing career transition or self-analysis. It discusses assessing one's situation, priorities, and options like temporary work. Self-analysis involves evaluating personality, skills, interests, and past work experiences. Transition options covered include temporary jobs, consulting, education, and volunteering. The document also addresses maintaining happiness in a current role or company and negotiating severance packages. Financial considerations like benefits, taxes, and expenses are reviewed.
High employee turnover can be costly for businesses, lowering productivity and morale. The document discusses three main solutions to reduce turnover: 1) Improve employee engagement through involvement, recognition, and communication; 2) Invest in training and development to provide growth opportunities and prevent boredom; 3) Strengthen the onboarding process to help new employees integrate, understand responsibilities, and develop relationships that increase commitment. Implementing these low-cost solutions can boost retention, productivity, and the bottom line.
Age diverse work groups are more productive!Joe Slade
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), age-diverse teams demonstrate both deep business experience and a network of friends and colleagues built over 3-5 decades. They also found that workers over 55 are more loyal. In 2016, workers above the age of 55 had a median tenure of more than ten years with an employer vs. 2.8 years for Millennials. We’re not knocking Millennials, just making sure you are aware of why skill sets are not always the answer.
When recruited and managed purposefully, multi-generational work forces are more productive and have less turnover than those in companies without age diversity.
The document discusses tweaking interview processes to attract top talent. It suggests companies focus less on weeding out candidates and more on presenting themselves positively. The director Suzanne Rice recommends companies provide direct responses about roles and be honest about issues, demonstrate an enjoyable work environment, maintain consistency, and promote opportunities for advancement. The goal is to leave candidates with a positive impression as their feedback can influence potential future hires.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
11. Your employees may be looking for other positions as a defense mechanism but what happens when they stumble upon on interesting position?
12.
13. What happens to your organization when people can leave? People want a bigger, better deal Bored employees will leave (and who is most likely to get bored?) Who will stay? And what does that mean for your organization? How long will you have to “save” employees? If you do promote at that point, what is the skills gap?

18. Why is sideways sometimes/often better than up? You’re not always in high growth mode Jobs are not one size fits all Your best ____ may not be your best ____ Options, options, options Geography becomes less of an issue You can always hire the best Great for recruiting!

22. How do you create opportunities for growth? Have to think creatively ! It is not just about delegating more responsibilities; it is about providing your employees voice and decision making power where they might not have had in the past. Examples: Letting a KM help with new menu roll-outs to other stores Letting retail store managers work with buyers Letting an hourly employee work to increase local marketing It’s about giving your employees the opportunity to add value to other parts of the business. “Great companies have been born in recessions.” This is because the doors open for new, innovative ideas and change. There is no reason that same sentiment can not be spread throughout already established organizations.
25. How do you decide who goes where? Passion and interest What do they love? Ask them What do they love most about their role and/or the business as a whole Capability Passion must be tempered with talent Everyone likes to be an expert at something Passion and Ability often go hand in hand

Editor's Notes
File #: 8624910 While employers are benefiting from the reduced difficulty attracting and retaining employees, employers should expect retention risk to increase as the economy rebounds. For instance, Employees are already reporting a decline in productivity and customer service, and the loss of top-performing employees would likely exacerbate these concerns.
?
Human Capital Institute recently conducted a survey and found 79% of employees are more aggressively seeking work elsewhere. This is largely due to employees perceiving more stress due to work overload and threat of layoffs. Additionally, employee loyalty has been in decline for decades.It is quite possible that your employees are looking for positions as a defense mechanism at this point; but what happens when they stumble upon an interesting position? How will your current efforts to retain them hold up against the competition?
