		<description><![CDATA[The crystal ball of employee surveys is showing us that workers are frustrated with their employers. Their major gripe? Companies won’t put policies and practices in place to support their own goals. In a recent survey of 800 people in the finance, healthcare, retail, aerospace and defense industries, nearly 50 percent of workers surveyed believed [...]]]></description>

AmeriCorps is the national volunteer program focused on U.S.-based service projects.

With Idaho unemployment currently hovering just below eight percent and layoffs continuing throughout the state at many major employers—for instance, Idaho National Laboratory recently announced an additional 35 to 40 job cuts—the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) of 1967 gives employers yet one [...]]]></description>

Such tragedy is preventable, but it happens way too often, usually when people get promoted in organizations that don’t practice strategic alignment. I started using the term strategic alignment 20+ years ago to [...]]]></description>

Think of it as “two strikes and you’re out.” But do you ever wonder [...]]]></description>
