About this product: Competition for skilled employees is fierce! This book provides comprehensive, practical advice to employers to get and keep the people they need.
It covers such vital topics as what workers want--including a sense of making a real impact in their jobs and getting learning opportunities; why workers leave--sometimes just because they can (it's so easy to find a new job), often because they feel undervalued or bored where they are; and what best-practice companies are doing to attract and retain the talent necessary to remain competitive.
Expert Diane Arthur discusses: * Both traditional and new strategies, including a huge array of special incentives and perks * Online recruiting via sites like Monster.com or a company's own Web site * Successful programs from Cisco Systems, Bank of Boston, Eli Lilly, McDonald's, and dozens of other companies, including many small firms * Competency-based recruiting and interviewing, contingent workers, telecommuting and other alternative work arrangements, future trends, and more.
About this product: As societal expectations about attending college have grown, professors report increasing numbers of students who are unprepared for the rigors of postsecondary education—not just more students with learning disabilities (whose numbers have more than tripled), but students (with and without special admission status) who are academically at-risk because of inadequate reading, writing and study skills.
This book provides professors and their graduate teaching assistants—those at the front line of interactions with students—with techniques and approaches they can use in class to help at-risk students raise their skills so that they can successfully complete their studies.
The author shares proven practices that will not only engage all students in a class, but also create the conditions—while maintaining high standards and high expectations—to enable at-risk and under-prepared students to develop academically, and graduate with good grades. The author also explains how to work effectively with academic support units on campus.
Within the framework of identifying those students who need help, establishing a rapport with them, adopting inclusive teaching strategies, and offering appropriate guidance, the book presents the theory teachers will need, and effective classroom strategies.
The author covers teaching philosophy and goals; issues of discipline and behavior; motivation and making expectations explicit; classroom climate and learning styles; developing time management and study skills; as well as the application of “universal design” strategies.
The ideas presented here—that the author has successfully employed over many years—can be easily integrated into any class.
About this product: Competing For Talent, by human-resources consultant Nancy Ahlrichs, is a solid and accessible resource for anyone who recognizes that "people (not technology or products) are the key to organizational success, innovation, and profitability." Ahlrichs advocates becoming an Employer of Choice, or EOC, which charts "new strategic directions that put people in the profit equation." Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recruiting and retention, she outlines some of the tools and techniques already in use by others along with her own advice for embracing them. A lengthy Introduction examines profitability in a tight hiring market, and offers ways to document turnover costs and uncover its causes. Part One explores the tactics used by some successful EOCs, and presents specific ways to adapt them. Part Two focuses on recruiting, examining the processes and technologies involved as well as some underutilized sources for quality candidates. Part Three looks at retention, laying out tactics for lowering turnover that range from improving compensation and benefits to total cultural rehabilitation. A final section offers information specific to "information technology brainpower." --Howard Rothman
