If employees make up part of the workings of an organisation, communication between management and staff is the lubricant an organisation needs to run effi ciently and effectively. Today, work has become more intricate; knowledge and innovation are the main drivers behind an organisation’s sustainability. http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/BD/11/01/HeadHunt Issue 59.pdfTue, 13 Jul 2010 12:17:51 GMTWatch what I do not what I say Experts say that around 90 per cent of communication is non-verbal. So next time someone at your work says, “Don’t listen to the words, watch the body language,” listen to, and look at, what they say.

So, too, with a career. In our careers, many of us simply show up at work, do everything we are supposed to do and are surprised if the car does not move. Or if it does, it moves in a different direction to what we thought it would. If this sounds familiar, it is time for you to drive your career from the driver’s seat! http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/A0/25/82/HeadHunt Issue 57.pdfTue, 15 Jun 2010 14:08:35 GMTThe Past, Present, and Future of Venture Capital The venture capital model is not broken, nor does it need to radically change. In fact, its future looks quite bright. Venture capital (VC) has fueled many of the most successful start-ups of the last 30 years. Microsoft, Apple, and Google—three of the biggest companies in the United States—were once backed by VC firms. Many well-known and highly valuable companies such as eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, and Starbucks likewise started out with funding from venture capitalists. http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/FD/FC/F4/HeadHunt Issue 55.pdfTue, 18 May 2010 18:09:50 GMTTop Talent !

Today, nothing much has changed except that more executives, both men and women, are putting in longer hours into the rat race to fulfil their career ambitions.

The study, conducted by Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and KPMG, also showed that stress levels had risen among workers who had survived the axe. Because of a leaner headcount, employees are expected to work harder and perhaps, even clock longer hours.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/E0/B2/51/HH_Issue44.pdfWed, 28 Oct 2009 04:44:22 GMTMassive lay-offs are the hallmark in recessions as firms struggle to survive the global economic crisis. And in many countries, retrenchments are no longer limited to the rank and file – professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) are also facing the brunt of the recession.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/E0/E0/8B/HH_Issue42.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 16:15:23 GMTYour on-line reputation and profile is something you need to track vigilantly as it has the capacity to reach far and wide within and outside of your organization. Headhunters rely on information regarding a candidate’s reputation and they often do extensive background research in order to substantiate their findings. “These days we also review a short listed candidate’s profile in sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites in addition to other background information we seek” says Bernadette Themas, Consulting Director of BTI Consultants.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/7A/7B/D4/HH_Issue41.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 16:14:08 GMTRobert Walters, the international recruitment consultancy, today publishes its Asia Job Index for the second quarter of 2009.

New research suggests that just the opposite might be true–the consumer should see himself in the label.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/27/D7/A4/HH_Issue39.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 16:11:27 GMTGood times or bad, businesses have to continue and they will still need manpower to run them. However, in the current dire economic condition, job vacancies are few and far between. What makes it especially challenging is that there will be more applicants for every advertised vacancy and employers are reviewing every qualified candidate with more stringent requirements.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/4A/EF/0D/HH_Issue38.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 16:09:09 GMTA bag by any other name is still a bag - unless it is a Bottega Veneta or Hermes. In today’s consumerist market, a brand is everything, which explains why many are willing to pay several thousands for a Bottega Veneta or Hermes handbag when they could get a lesser known brand at a fraction of the price. Similarly, the same brand dynamics crucially works the same way in distinguishing employers of choice from the vast sea of organisations. In this competitive business environment, a company has to clearly communicate its unique selling proposition (USP) as an employer in order to attract ...http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/C9/07/25/HH_Issue37.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 16:06:05 GMTBad leadership got us into today’s economic crisis – and it’s good leadership that will get us out. Global financial markets are in turmoil, politicians are scrambling for solutions, employee layoffs are increasing, and corporate strategies are unable to address the rapidly changing economic landscape. All are strong indications of a serious dearth of leadership.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/D7/45/5C/HH_Issue36.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 15:46:31 GMTOf all the discussions about the global financial crisis, none have generated as much anger and noise as those on compensation. Reports of retention bonuses paid to officers at AIG and stories about the huge pension of the former chairman of The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) have stoked massive public outrage. Now, under pressure from the public and politicians, central banks and financial supervisory agencies have overcome their reluctance to interfere in compensation issues and are calling for a review of banks’ incentive structures.http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/7C/6D/6C/HH_Issue35.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 15:44:31 GMTPeople tend to exert more effort as they get closer to their goals. Companies can take advantage of this by designing a customer rewards program that makes the perceived distance to the reward seem small. In a classic experiment in the 1930s, behaviorist Clark Hull observed that rats on a straight runway ran faster as they moved closer to the food box. Knowing the reward was almost at hand presumably motivated the rats to work harder, a phenomenon that Hull called the "goal-gradient" hypothesis. While this behavior has been extensively studied in animals, its implications for humans ...http://www.headhunt.com.sg/documents/resources/30/32/63/HH_Issue34.pdfTue, 6 Oct 2009 15:01:40 GMT
