Globally Diverse Workforce Can Bring Innovation and High Profitability

'Designing Strategies' newsletter November - December 2006                Volume 3 - Issue 13   The terms 'global village' and 'global economy' have been bandied about for quite some time. Maybe it's in a discussion on out-sourcing or off-shoring.  It might be uneven trade levels or immigration issues.  Clearly,  'global' is a hot business issue with both proponents and opponents.    The reality of expanding globalization for most industries is here.  But, there still seem to be those who think it doesn't exist or that it can be avoided.  Rest assured, a diverse workforce is the reality of the very [...]

We are already experiencing a shortage of qualified workers to move in and take their places. The situation will only get worse.

Generations In the Workforce: Synergism At It’s Best

'Designing Strategies' newsletter May - June 2005                Volume 2 - Issue 5  It seems like an eternity that the hottest business topics have surrounded employment issues.  We've heard that hiring will go up dramatically and it's not going up but it should be.  Clawing our way out of a long drawn out economic slump, this slow-to-recover economy has placed human resources issues at the top of everyone's mind.  Do we hire, or not hire?
