Report: 40% of companies to hire contract or temp employees
There are signs that the current recession could end soon in the U.S., which means employers may be considering their hiring strategy for when the economy turns around.
Stresses in the Workplace and How to Combat Same
Stress is the body’s reaction to outside influences, demands or strains. In a sense, the body is revved up to respond to a threat or a challenge. Everybody experiences stress occasionally and this is unlikely to have any lasting impact unless the experience is particularly traumatic. Such acute stress can occur as a result of actual or threatened violence. Staff employed in banks, post offices, public transport, the health service and other occupations are at risk of experiencing acute stress as a result of robberies, assaults and violence. Every precaution needs to be taken to protect workers in vulnerable situations against such risks. Where incidents do occur, procedures should exist, including independent counseling where necessary, to minimise the long–term impact.

Will You Beat The Jobs Rush?
The new year job search has started in earnest. Record numbers of individuals were made redundant before the Christmas break and are now sending out their resumes. And they are not alone.
Why productivity now matters: 5 talent essentials
Switching on the nightly news recently you may have been struck by images of frazzled-looking brokers on Wall Street attempting to cope with the turbulent markets. You may have also thought, 'I can relate to that'. According to Andrew May, author and stress management expert, Australia is not in danger of becoming a nation of workaholics - we are already there.
Achieving the Worklife Balance - It Is More Than Good Time Management.
The balance between work and family life is gaining more attention in Australia. Various articles are starting to appear and the media has picked it up as an issue to explore. Unions have adopted the issue as a major campaign point and both employers and governments are responding. Amongst full-time workers, the number of hours worked each week is being highlighted, particularly when significant numbers are working hours greater than the standard working week, which in Australia is a nominal 36-40 hours per week. A successful family/work life is dependent on finding the right balance, making the right choices and ensuring that you have the flexibility, systems and support to achieve the goals that you have set. It takes teamwork, perseverance and a lot of effort.

Lesson #1: Think Big About the Little Guy
Growing up in the produce store of his stepfather, Giannini was surrounded by farmers, merchants, and other labourers. He got to know them, their businesses, and their business needs, in what proved to be an experience he would not soon forget. In fact, the lives and stories of these workers would come back to haunt him when he first took the job with the Columbus Savings & Loan Association. For, it was during this time that Giannini began to recognize that there were entire groups of people – workers – who were readily denied access to bank loans and credit.

The Ten-Minute Difference
American workers are basically honest and they are almost always at work on time. However, for most workers, the last one hundred yards to get to work are pretty hectic. There is the mad dash into the parking lot, the rush to the building, the clocking in, the sprint to the coffee pot, and the unloading of bags, briefcases and outer garments. The work day frequently starts five to ten minutes after the paycheck starts.

Michigan Workers’ Compensation Costs Have Risen Drastically Due To Explosive Growth In Health Care Costs
The number of claims filed are not primarily responsible for rising workers’ comp costs because many workers remain uninformed about their rights to benefits for workplace injury or occupational diseases. The fact is that almost all employers know far more about workers’ comp law than does the average employee. Although many employers are honest and well-intended, there are far, far too many unethical employers who will cheat their workers out of entitled benefits.

Meeting Etiquette . . .the Direct Correlation to Employee Performance
The lateness thing is not just an inconvenience or a sign of inefficiency. It has a direct correlation to employee performance. A recent poll of 360 workers, including senior management, conducted by Workplace Intelligence Unit, found that turning up late for meetings was considered by many workers the height of disrespect, with four out of ten feeling that colleagues who did so or canceled at the last minute were simply showing that they did not value their colleagues' time. People feel disrespected when they show up and others don't. The message received is that those who arrive late value their own time more than that of their staff and co-workers. The BlackBerry thing says "what's happening on my Blackberry is more important than the meeting agenda and attendees."

How to be An Effective Leader in a Virtual Team
One of the major problems companies are facing is how to manage their workers. Most of them have this wrong belief that remote workers and workers at home are not as productive as an in house staffer.

Contract Employees and Temp Workers: Sexually Harassed, Stressed, and Second Class Citizens
Despite the advantages of temp work for both the employer (less money) and employee (flexible schedule, varied work environment, chance for permanent hire), new research suggests that workers hired for temporary, contract or fixed term positions report more symptoms of depression and psychological stress than similarly employed full-time workers.
Insightpreneurs and Differencemakers - leaders of our new world
For the longest time there were landowners and farm workers. For a couple of hundred years they were largely replaced by industrialists and factory workers. For less than a hundred years information experts and knowledge workers have led us. Their rule is over now because today we live in an age, largely due to the internet, where information is abundant and mostly cheap or free, yet time consuming and often energy sapping to access.
Training the Trainer
Education training is a billion dollar business, as many companies find themselves spending lots of their capital on furthering the educational value of their workers. Because of the lucrative nature of this business, many companies are now training workers from within to become trainers. Training the trainer has become an exciting field for workers who wish to boost their profile and their wages.
Sailors, Maritime Workers Protected By Special Laws For On-the-Job Injuries
Sailors and maritime workers who are injured on the job do have remedies to seek to get recovery for damages and expenses incurred. But there’s a totally different set of laws to protect maritime workers than for workers injured on the land.

RETENTION OF STAFF
Why is retention of staff such an issue these days? Surely staff are lucky enough to be employed in a full time job without you having to worry about whether or not you’re going to keep them? Retention of staff is an issue that should be ranked priority number one. Regardless of the current economy - we do not have enough skilled staff with the appropriate skill base to fill all the available jobs – and it’s not going to improve. Simply put, the workforce growth rate is declining. In the long run there will be more jobs than workers. The future will be that there is increased competition for fewer qualified workers, which will necessitate an enormous emphasis on the need to retain the workers we already have.
