...Recruitment can either be internal or external. Internal recruitment is promoting existing employees in conjunction with internal training and external recruitment involves recruiting suitable candidates with relevant experience and qualifications who have not previously worked within the organisation. From The Conference Board of Canada's report, Valuing Your Talent: Human Resources Trends and Metrics we learn that employers need to develop workforce strategies to attract and retain employees in the current climate. As the economy starts to recover organizations will face a risk of higher turnover with employees considering new opportunities. A growing economy and an aging workforce mean that it is just a matter of time before pressure in labour markets begins to build again; the demand for skilled and talented employees is growing although the Conference Board of Canada’s report states that, - shortages of key skills never entirely dissipated during the recession and will be of greater concern than general labour shortages (The Conference Board of Canada, Valuing Your Talent: Human Resources Trends and Metrics, Allison Cowan and Ruth Wright, p.ii). The Conference Board identifies the top four strategic HR priorities:...

...e x e C u t i v e f o r u m LeadING WItH LoVe IN a FearBaSed WorLd John Hope Bryant I n the poor neighborhood where I was raised, as in so many communities in the country, petty thugs preyed on individuals, but white-collar criminals in fancy suits also preyed on people’s ignorance. Individuals with a low level of basic financial knowledge were and continue to be easy targets for what I call bad capitalism. payday loan for $800; by the time he finished paying it off six years later, after rolling this payday loan over countless times, he had paid $15,000 in interest on that $800 loan. these businesses are in many cases shortterm-oriented, purely transactional business models that add little value, and even deteriorate the customer base they purport to serve. these businesses are ultimately led by one thing: fear. People are afraid to lift themselves up, to lead themselves out of their situation, to think for themselves. Bad capitalism preys mercilessly on these fears. throughout my journey from the inner city to my work as a social entrepreneur, I’ve had a front-row seat for witnessing how fear destroys a community. But I’ve also learned that there is another way to live and to do business. It took almost 30 years for me to understand that the antidote to fear is love. For example, during the recent subprime lending boom, people making $25,000 a year were lured by unscrupulous brokers and lenders into taking out $500,000 loans with low initial teaser rates that...

...Must have a CLEAR THESIS that makes an argument and provide well-researched evidence to support thesis . Explain the state of the Methodist church today, both in the US and globally. In what significant ways has this tradition changed over time? Explore whether it has been faithful to its founding traditions or not. What major challenges does it face for the future? How might the history of its own tradition (founders, theology, movements) help clarify the way forward as it meets the challenges it faces? THE METHODIST CHURCH The Methodist tradition today has changed in its fundamental views because of controversial challenges, such as: evolutanary theory, racial issues, homesexuality, and interpretation of scriptures. The Methodist Church was chartered in 1784 by John Wesley in the United States. John Wesley created the Methodist church when he saw the need to provide his followers with structure after the Anglican Church abandoned its American believers. Since then, the Methodist church has changed its traditions to enhance its fitness in the modern society. The Church has encountered various challenges, which have both helped and hindered clarifying the way forward. John, his brother Charles, and several other students at oxford formed a group which was based on three pillars which enhanced the formation of Methodist church. These pillars include; devotion in their studies, prayers, and helping the underprivileged; these formed the pillars of Methodist church. However...

.../social-media-brings-welcomed-boost-to-u | | | Job opportunities in the UAE, and in particular Dubai, have seen a rapid increase as a direct result of social media presence. A report, titled the ‘Report on Impact of Social Media on Middle Eastern Entrepreneurship and Employment’, carried out by the Dubai School of Government (DSG) and SAP, found that the online job prospects for young professionals have jumped in recent months.
