MEMBERS: An interesting new article is posted in the Members Section. Go to Members > News and Resources > Programs. Culture at Work: Building a Robust Work Environment by G. Michael Barton. Faced with a growing talent crunch, companies are expending a lot of energy trying to achieve recognition as an employer of choice in something. In addition to the usual suspects – best companies for working mothers; women of color; diversity regardless of gender; and Fortune’s list of the best companies to work for – new possibilities are sprouting up, including best companies for innovation (BusinessWeek’s new list) and best small to mid-sized employers.

A valuable new article is posted from Dr. John Sullivan : "Around the Referral Process in Forty Ways." To download the complete article go to Members > News and Resources. Here is the intro - I recommend referrals as the foundation of any excellent recruiting program, followed by employment branding and then recruiting at professional events. However, I must warn the reader that referral programs are not all created equal, and a good number of them (well over 50 percent) provide no better than mediocre results because they have inherent design flaws. These design flaws occur because the directors of these programs invariably copy what others do as opposed to using metrics and data to tell them what works, why it works, and what doesn't work.
