		<description><![CDATA[ Two-thirds of the reasons why managers do not use recognition stem back to the beliefs they have about the topic. Managers can't control their age or upbringing, but they can learn to understand their biases and overcome those beliefs that hamper their effectiveness and learn new behaviors that will help them -- and the organizations for which they work -- be successful.

		<description><![CDATA[ The need to ensure compliance with Environment, Health and Safety (EH&#038;S) regulations and concern over the risk of an adverse event is driving an increasing number of manufacturers to reevaluate their EH&#038;S program. Indeed, companies that are not able to comply with EH&#038;S mandates in an effective fashion are at risk of losing their competitive advantage. In Aberdeen's third annual study on EH&#038;S, they will be providing a roadmap to an effective EH&#038;S initiative within an organization, and supporting technology solutions that can help organizations get on track towards not only being in compliance, but to go beyond that.

		<description><![CDATA[I was sure that, in the aftermath of the economic downturn and the "AIG Effect", we could finally say good riddance to companies using extreme activities as a substitute for real team building. Based on recent CNN report, this is not the case. I hope that some executives will come by and share their perspective.  <a href="http://www.thetrainingworld.com/wp/organizational-development/companies-still-substituting-extreme-activites-for-real-team-building/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Sourcing is the foundation of any successful talent acquisition strategy. Decidedly, organizations are unable to recruit top talent unless they have proactively identified top talent. Yet, with a shortage of key skills and increasing competition in a global market, uncovering qualified talent is a daunting challenge. Organizations looking to gain a competitive advantage can no longer afford a reactionary approach to sourcing. As a result, they are reexamining existing methods in order to broaden their reach and improve efficiencies. Innovation in sourcing technology is helping to drive this change. This Research Brief is based on a study conducted in January and February 2012, and addresses the key pressures that drive sourcing efforts, the strategies and tools in place to address them, and the metrics used to evaluate such initiatives.
