A thought occurred to me last week after a meeting with one of our clients — why don’t more organizations use employee assessments ? Here at ExactHire, we use and promote the use of assessment tools for many employee issues. Among those uses are hiring, team building, succession planning and 360 degree feedback for performance reviews. Then it hit me…most people (and therefore organizations) see these tools as “tests”, not assessments.

Productivity is defined as: Doing the right thing (effectiveness). in the right way (efficiency). all the time (occupancy). The only way poor quality can happen is if you do the wrong thing, or the right thing in the wrong way, or if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time. It just seems such a waste if you don’t do the right thing in the right way all the time.

It’s great to stay on top of the latest staffing trends. But it’s even better to be ahead of them: to see where the labor market is going, not just where it is today. So what will the market for contingent workers look like a decade from now? And how can staffing firms prepare? I spoke with a few staffing experts and they offer these predictions for the next 10 years: Unemployment will remain high by historical standards.

It is accurate to say that Accurate Temps CEO Jaimie Rios (nee Migliore), and a brother Rob who is COO, and another brother David who is president, have been good stewards of the company their parents Debbie and Tony Migliore began back in 1978. It is also a wild understatement, given the growth the siblings have generated after taking over. The growth continues with a recent expansion of their market reach into Professional Staffing, as well as their geographical reach.

Today is National Unfriend Day for Facebook. Started by Jimmy Kimmel, it’s a half-serious mission to cull your Facebook list. As I said, it’s half-serious, but probably a good idea for those of you who use Facebook for business. While I realize many professionals have already made a dichotomy between their LinkedIn contacts and their Facebook contacts, I know a lot of salespeople who have had great results with Facebook, and it’s obviously a great tool for business connections, if used properly.

He explains for example how the web differs from the internet (note to earth: the web is not the internet, it’s software we’ve built onto the internet) and how the web may not be the best horse to bet on given that network speed is increasing much less quickly than processor and storage capability.

You’re a decision maker at a staffing firm. You bring in some staffing software reps to see which systems can make your outdated processes faster and more efficient.

I finally watched the Oscar-nominated film “The Social Network” this past weekend. It was an entertaining movie, but it definitely took real events and twisted them for dramatic effect. One thing that did ring true is that Facebook is constantly changing, and not every change is award-winning. The latest changes came February 10, when the non-fiction Facebook staff deployed a range of changes to Facebook Pages, including substantial changes to the Pages layout.

China is in the news a lot these days. Is China’s progress over-reported? Having spent the last year living in China, my view is that the “China story” is, in fact, under-reported. The world’s largest country is finally developing economically in a rapid and impactful way. Much of China’s work, to date, has been in “investment” activities (infrastructure, research, education), so progress is likely to accelerate.
