Ten years after the disastrous financial crisis of 2007, we find ourselves back in a job seeker’s market where unemployment is at an all-time low and companies struggle to attract and retain the best candidates. As a business leader, you have so many things on your plate. Sifting through hundreds of resumes and interviewing dozens of candidates is time consuming and in the interest of time, there is a temptation by many leaders to hurry [...]
Talent Mapping – The Recipe for Today’s Succession Planning
2018-04-11T16:14:32-07:00By Peoplescape|Blogs, Frontpage Articles, HR Advisory & Facilitation, Talent Management|
“Succession Planning” is a term that seems outdated – a process-laden, long-range staffing plan for a large organization. A more apt name would be “Talent Mapping” – a streamlined version of identifying qualified and inspired employees to fill future positions as and when they are needed. Businesses of all sizes and types are susceptible to sudden vacancies of key positions. What restaurant can afford to lose its top chef? Who will take on key client accounts when a high-performing salesperson retires? How will the family business continue if family members no longer want [...]

I am the product of baby boomer parents who survived an arguably sheltered millennial upbringing in Southern California. My parents’ generation boasts of having worked at the same company for 20+ years, and some will easily double that number before their retirement. Company loyalty is something that baby boomers value immensely, and as these things often go, they’ve raised a bunch of restless, challenge-crazed and adventure-seeking millennials. The generational differences not only change how employees [...]

Long-held notions that longer tenure benefits both employee and employer continue to erode as the reported median length of employment spirals downward. In January of 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median number of years that wage and salary workers had been with their current employer was 4.2 years. Down from 4.6 in 2014. Way down for select demographics and industries. Not unexpected, among 16 to 19 years-old’s who were still [...]

Last month, we blogged about the new legislation heading your way in 2017. One topic included at https://peoplescapehr.com/new-year-round-need-change-2017/ was restroom facilities. As we wrote there, AB 1732 requires all employers to designate single-user restrooms as “gender neutral facility”. This applies to facilities with one toilet and/or urinal and one sink, with a door that the user can lock from the inside. This legislation follows suit with others we have seen over the past several years [...]
