DIVERSIFIED RECRUITING
It's All About Trust When Building a Brand for People of Color
By Susan Hodgkinson

Recertification Credit: 1 hour

 

Get a first look at the findings of Bersin & Associates' annual study* of corporate training budgets, spending, delivery, staffing and trends. As many organizations' learning and development functions continue to face the budget ax, you'll need these figures to build a business case for your organization.

In this webcast, attendees will learn:


* How learning and development spending and staffing have been affected by the economic downturn

* Which segments of learning and development have been most affected

* Where organizations are allocating learning and development resources and where they're cutting back

* How organizations' learning and development functions are changing their delivery methods for greater efficiency and effectiveness


This webcast will be presented by Karen O'Leonard, principal analyst at Bersin & Associates and author of Bersin & Associates' annual Corporate Learning Factbook. O'Leonard's presentation will be filled with statistics on spending, staffing and programs that can be used for benchmarking your organization against its peers.

All attendees will receive complimentary webcast presentation materials and an executive summary of Bersin & Associates' 2010 Corporate Learning Factbook
.

*Based on an exclusive survey conducted July/August 2009 by Bersin & Associates and Workforce Management.

Résumés—How Long Should I Keep on File?
A member writes: "I'm new to my company and have inherited a file cabinet full of old resumes. If I discover a resume of someone I know we have hired I've pulled it and placed it with the employee files. I'm struggling with what to do with the rest. They seem to date back as far as 2005. Some are just resumes filed by job description and some have actual notes.There are also a number of job descriptions within the files."

Dear Workforce

A question-and-answer newsletter addressing some of the most common and most obscure HR. Ask a question about whatever's important to you—whether it's HR, recruiting, benefits, compensation or training.

'Cash-out' of unused balances is a little-used option, but be thoughtful should you decide to implement the practice. It may result in unforeseen accrued liability.
Youll get nowhere unless you first demonstrate how your project shows up on the companys balance sheet.



Special Reports


Weight-focused health policy can merely end up penalizing obese workers and adding to the stigma of being severely overweight. But some employers are taking a more thoughtful approach to the emotionally fraught issue in attempting to improve workers’ health and reduce medical costs.
