...networker—whatever— your LinkedIn Profile is a good way to give a terrific first impression. Think of it as your initial interview! Did you know that in 2011, HR and recruiting professionals plan to use LinkedIn 87% of the time to research potential candidates?1 Equally important is the fact that 70% of the time, recruiters reject candidates based on online information.2 Therefore, it’s critical to put your best foot forward and to do everything you can to raise yourself above other candidates. Follow the steps outlined in this document to optimize your LinkedIn profile. It’s very important that your LinkedIn profile matches your printed resume...to a point. The goal is to use your resume as a starting point, then go from there. If you’re not looking for a job, you still want to have your profile optimized as it’s a great business tool. Also, nearly 58% of HR and recruiting professionals reported that they found passive job candidates—people not actively seeking employment—via social networks (including LinkedIn).3 Basic Information For your first and last name, use your legal name. However, if you are more commonly known by a nickname, or have a former or maiden name, enter that in the “Former/Maiden Name” box. Enter your current Country and Zip Code (which is used in advanced searches). LinkedIn has a lengthy list of “Industries” to select from, but it is not all inclusive. If your industry is not listed, select as close a match as possible. In addition, if you are...

This study explores the reasons for recent unrest in the garment sector. Since managers are mainly responsible for applying human resource practices, this paper has given particular attention to their views on recent attitude changes of workers. Results show that mutual understanding among workers and managers is absent in the RMG sector. This study also states that high-work load, poor behaviour of line managers, low skills and low wage rates are the notable reasons for high job turnover and social unrest. Poor relationship between workers and supervisors is the main source of conflict. This study...

...European Management Journal (2010) 28, 421– 440 journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/emj International human resource management challenges in Canadian development INGOs Sharon L. OÕSullivan * Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, 55 Laurier ave East, Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1N 6N5 KEYWORDS International human resource management; International non-governmental organization; International development; Northern NGOs; Canada; Capacity building Summary Over $100 million of Canadian overseas development assistance (ODA) is channeled through international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) (CIDA, 2006). Although INGOs appear to be successful at circumventing many challenges in international development (Sachs, 2007), empirical research attesting to their international human resource management (IHRM) challenges is sparse, particularly in regard to secular, Northern INGOs. This paper responds by investigating the IHRM challenges facing Canadian INGOs as they implement ODA-funded projects in the field, and by exploring how such challenges may vary in different types of INGOs. The methodology involved semistructured interviews with 31 managers in three different Canadian development INGOs. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed. ª 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Introduction The term INGO refers to ‘‘international non-governmental organization’’ (Roberts et al., 2005). Such organizations exist for diverse socioeconomic reasons...

...Contributions of Internal Branding Practices to Corporate Brand Success Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how internal branding practices can contribute to successful corporate brand building. The thesis is based on a case study of the successful Swedish brands Saab AB, SAS Sverige and Skanska. The results show that core values are a main building block of internal branding practices and that core values are united with cultural values with a dual purpose of adding value to customers and guiding employee behavior. Furthermore, the results point out that core values internally indicate how the vision is to be achieved and that the vision may be more useful as a management tool than internal branding tool. Subcultures appear to be present in all three cases and the results suggest that corporate brands are strengthened by internalizing a main corporate culture which allows cultural interpretations within subcultures and by assuring that subcultures co-exist in harmony. Internal communication seems to support corporate and internal branding by applying a pull-principle in communications, creating forums for personal interaction and facilitating employees’ information search and processing. In terms of human resourcecontributions to brand building, practices such as recruitment, phasing in of new employees, internalization of core values among current employees and internal brand evaluations are put forward. Moreover, two additional concepts of importance in...

Human resource management concentrates more on planning, control and monitoring than on what is done for manager and employee’s mediation. Staffing objectives, performance objectives, Change-management objectives and administration objectives are the four basic objectives of human resource activity. Through I reading the notion of these objectives, CPD and the skills of being the ‘thinking’ performer is really important to the practitioner. However, we need to develop...

...Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS A TEACHERS’ MANUAL Undergraduate Level By Herminia A. Francisco Bui Dung The Pham Khanh Nam August 2005 1 PREFACE This manual was written to support the teaching of undergraduate environmental economics course in Vietnam Universities. Some time in 2003, a number of senior researchers of the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) requested that EEPSEA offers a 3-week training course for teachers of Environmental Economics in the country. The request in turn was precipitated by the new mandate from the Ministry of Education in Vietnam that makes Environmental Economics a required course in all Bachelors’ Degree in Economics and Management for all colleges and universities. Aware that the capacity of teachers to teach Environmental Economics varies across the country as training of teachers varies also from selfstudy, short-term training, to a formal course in an undergraduate/graduate degree from local universities or abroad, EEPSEA acceded to the request and offered the course in August 2005. The course though can be used also in other colleges and universities in Southeast Asia. The training course was designed to teach both the subject matter contained in an internationally-comparable undergraduate environmental course and to enhance teachers’ skills in teaching this subject. A teachers’ manual was developed to support the teaching of the training ...
