Among this year's developments is Aquire InSight, selected by Human Resource Executive magazine as one of its 2010 Top HR Products. Developed by workforce...

Employee Performance Reviews

A half of the participants in an online survey* conducted for Globoforce think that employee performance reviews do not provide accurate appraisals of their work. The Workforce Mood Tracker survey found that U.S. employees were dissatisfied and disconnected overall about the frequency and effectiveness of performance reviews. Based upon the survey's findings, it can be concluded that organizations should be concerned about motivational issues at review time. Main findings were: Only 25% of those surveyed had performance reviews more than once a year Just 18% were given feedback on a semi-annual basis 7% received monthly reviews 22% said they never had a review 24% dreaded their annual review more than anything else Eric Mosley, CEO of Globoforce, a provider of strategic employee recognition...

Involuntary Part-timers

A recent report from the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago found that a record number of U.S. employees are involuntarily working part-time as a result of a reduction in their hours or being unable to find a full-time job. This effect of the recession is in addition to unemployment currently affecting nearly 10 per cent of the workforce. Susan Lambert, associate professor, commented: "Certainly the current recession is contributing to underemployment, as evidenced by the proportion of American workers classified as 'involuntary part-time'." Researchers explain that the U.S. Census Bureau applies the term "involuntary part-time" to those working less than 35 hours a week because they could not find a full-time job or because of "slack demand". There were...

In March, job growth occurred in professional and business services, health care, leisure and hospitality, and mining. Manufacturing employment continued to trend up over the month.

Discrimination and Job Loss

It has been known for some time that there is bias against the unemployed in the job market. Research at UCLA and the State University of New York-Stony Brook now shows that jobless Americans face discrimination unrelated to their skills or to ways in which they lost their previous jobs. The researchers recruited a random cross-section of Americans over the Internet and asked them to appraise fictitious job candidates. They found that even when the participants were rating the same evidence about job applicants, unemployed applicants were at a disadvantage compared with employed applicants. For example, in one study, participants were presented with the same fictitious resume. Researchers Geoffrey Ho and Margaret Shih told half of the participants that it was the resume of an employed applicant....
