Editor’s note: This is the first of three in a series of posts we’ll be running at FOT about workplace productivity, based on a national poll conducted by Red Bull and Harris Interactive. FOT + Red Bull = pretty interesting. A national poll conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of Red Bull North America surveyed U.S. workers and exposes lack …
Having spent a few days at Illinois SHRM this week my head is buzzing trying to categorize and manage all the new names, faces, concepts, ideas, facts and figures. The conference was just a great learning experience for me and based on the widely imitated but rarely matched, quick non-scientific “Paul Hebert Poll,” it was a great use of time …
I just finished reading Clayton Christensen’s newest book call “How Will You Measure Your Life” (my money quotes from the book can be found here.) In that book he reintroduced one of his marketing concepts called “jobs-to-be-done.” Originally discussed by Christensen in the context of how consumers decide on products, Christensen posited that customers don’t buy products so much as they “hire” a product to …
We see the word sustainability a lot today. Mostly focused on environmental issues but I’m seeing it more and more being played out as a “human” issue – meaning what we do to “sustain” ourselves. But I think we can confuse sustainability with the idea of “static.” The definition on the Wikipedia page is a great way to view sustainability: …
The dealership has been hit with an epidemic, which makes absolutely no sense to me since I made them all get a flu shot (myself included). Side note, men are super wimpy when it comes to needles. HTTP://WWW.FASTHOMEWORKK.COM professional essay writers I have always been one to actually show up to work when I'm sick. I'm not going to do …
Job titles have achieved heights of ridiculousness never before reached. Each company in an effort to “outcool” the next company have created job descriptions that have more value as talking points in an interview with Forbes than they do to the oth er employees in the company – or – to the most important person – the customer of that …
I'll never forget the day that our favorite IT guy (ever) came to me, and told me, the vendor we were working with, was trying to recruit him. I think he wanted me to beg him to stay. I didn't, but in hind-sight, maybe I should have. I asked him what they were offering. I told him I really wanted …
Unless you've been living under a rock (or if you have no interest in sparkly vampires… which seems unlikely), you know that Hollywood couple, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, are on the rocks. Rumors (and photos) have it that Stewart was cozying up with her Snow White and the Huntsmen movie director, Rupert Sanders. Okay, so how does this bit …
I’ve seen almost everything you can see when it comes to incentive and reward programs. That’s what being around for a while does for you. And when you have a career’s worth of information in your brain the tendency is to want to explain things to the nth degree. Go on, and on, and on, and on, and on. I’ll …
Statistical analysis, usually, seeks to draw conclusions about a population by using a sample that represents that population. It’s easier to do the math and analysis on 700 people than say, 7 billion people. Through some complicated math on the sample we can feel confident (given a range of error) that the population will act like our sample. We use …
