Here at Forum One, we love helping organizations make real progress on some of the world’s most pressing issues — education, poverty, the environment, global health, and international development (to name just a few). More often than not, a key to making that progress is connecting the thinkers, doers, influencers, and decision makers that have a stake in the world, and the initiative to change it.

An email inbox flooding service whose sole purpose in life is to remind me that a guy I went to high school with would like me to join LinkedIn so he can spam everyone I’ve ever met. As reported first here on StaffingTalk , the worse-than-Myspace pathetic spam trap that bombards you with authentic-seeming email solicitations and connections from people you don’t know – and don’t want to know – otherwise known as LinkedIn sucks.

As I review open jobs in this tough economy, they seem to be more specialized and require narrower experience and education, making identifying and hiring qualified talent even more difficult.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Don’t look now but the French government is making noises about pulling the rug out from under the very common practice of looking the other way when healthcare workers, particularly nurses, take on extra shifts at neighboring hospitals and clinics. According to a government report released this last week, almost 5% of nurses and medical technicians are heavy into double-dipping (‘cumulards’, they’re called).

Fantasy Football and Google Plus are two sideline preoccupations of mine this year and of the two if I had to keep one it would be the Fantasy Football. I suspect the same would be true for staffing companies looking to get a virtual edge on their competitors. With Fantasy I’m hanging out with kindred spirits – developers, family, competitors – and get those business insights that can spill over from casual conversations like finding out one of our devs has a passion for Win8 development.

You help people get jobs, right? Most of us are comfortable with the notion of finding jobs, posting jobs, finding the right people to fill particular jobs and so on. What if that notion is outdated and antiquated? And if it is, as many think, what does that mean for you? The workforce is undergoing the biggest shift in nearly a century. We are leaving the traditional workplace and a singular job title, for basements and bedrooms and coffee shops and co-working spaces where we cobble together va
