Employers are in a unique position to improve the lives of people who work for them. “There’s a compelling case to be made for embracing corporate responsibility to prioritize mental health and well-being at work, if not just from a productivity and business results perspective,” notes Bacik. Stress and burnout strongly correlate with lost productivity, low motivation, and high turnover. Highly stressed employees are more likely to consider changing jobs than their less-stressed peers, and it’s not just about mitigating the productivity drain of people leaving.

A Job Scam is any job offer or opportunity that is fake or deceptive. They are often used to try to get money or free services from job-seeking professionals. Avoiding Scams The best way to help yourself avoid job scams is by doing research. If you see a job posting or receive a call that intrigues you, research the company. Look for: - A professional company website - Professional profiles (LinkedIn) of any recruiters with whom you’ve spoken - Active and professional social media presence (Twitter, LinkedIn, News Articles) - Company reputation reviews on sites like Glassdoor or Indeed

Almost half (48%) of employers say that budget cuts are the main reason for recruiting challenges. But the problem goes far beyond that of finance, says Jean-Nicolas Reyt, associate professor of organizational behaviour at McGill University. “Cheap becomes expensive,” he says. “Sometimes having an unqualified person doing a complex job can be so much more expensive than just the little money you saved by not hiring somebody competent.”

Job market sours for recent grads: Recent college graduates are feeling the brunt of the slowdown in the white-collar job market, The Wall Street Journal reports. Demand for roles that typically require a bachelor’s degree has now fallen below hiring rates seen in 2019, per ADP data. The decline is especially acute for job seekers in their 20s, who face intensifying competition for entry-level positions as fewer employees receive promotions and stay in their current roles. While overall employment remains strong by historical standards, recent layoffs, especially in technology and financial services over the past two years, have led companies to become more selective.

BC’s provincial government is limiting international student enrolment to 30% of a university or college’s total student population. Nearly 40% of BC’s 553,000 post-secondary attendees are international students. Of the nearly quarter million international students studying in BC, half attend public institutions and half attend private ones.

The human resources business has become far more complex over the past few years. That’s what Helena Pagano, chief people and culture officer, Sun Life, said in her conversation with Canadian HR Reporter. “We’ve become the change agents, change facilitators,” she says, adding that that’s “a really critical role for HR to play more and more”. HR was at the forefront when it comes to contending with the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the workplace. That was one of the changes that have happened to HR, says Pagano. On top of that, “people's expectations have changed,” she says. “A diverse workforce brings different issues and differing needs to the workplace.”

At Indeed, the central belief is that hiring should feel inspiring and easy, and leveraging cutting-edge technology can deliver that shift by reshaping the entire experience. “AI can't replace the ‘human’ in human resources and hiring, but it has the power to give HR professionals more time to focus on the aspects of hiring that require human attention, judgment, and connection,” Patibandla sums up. “Smart Sourcing will deliver a new, better way to source quality candidates to help employers hire more efficiently — it’s a uniquely powerful tool.”    #AI #indeed #recruitment

A hybrid work schedule is more beneficial than being in the office five days a week, according to a new study by economist Nicholas Bloom. It lands amid employer concerns about worker productivity, creativity and collaboration when remote. Among the study's key findings: Working from home two days a week didn't affect either the worker’s performance or that of the company. Hybrid WFH also reduced the number of employees who quit the company by a third, saving millions of dollars a year. The largest reduction in quits came among female employees and those who had the longest commutes.

Gen Z turns to #BlueCollar jobs: Wary of being saddled with debt from a four-year degree, members of Gen Z are increasingly turning to the trades. The number of students enrolled in vocational-focused community colleges jumped 16% last year, according to the National Student Clearinghouse — the highest level since tracking began in 2018. And being of the TikTok generation, many of these newly minted plumbers and electricians are documenting their work on social media, which only further drives interest. Half a million TikTok posts bore the hashtag #bluecollar in the first four months of 2024, a 64% increase over a year earlier. - In a twist, some skilled-trades influencers are making more money on TikTok than in the day jobs they document online — sometimes as much as $500,000 a year. - But even for non-influencers, the money is an increasingly attractive proposition: Pay for new construction hires is now better than for new hires in professional services such as accounting, per ADP.
