Cornerstone On Demand

In The Inevitable , author and co-founder of Wired magazine Kevin Kelly describes twelve disruptive technological forces. One is “becoming," in which products, services and relationships are perpetually both obsolete and upgraded.

We’re Like the Venmo of Recruiting

The Tim Sackett Project

So, for the Gen-X and older folks reading this I first probably need to explain what Venmo is. Venmo is a digital payment system, like PayPal (Venmo is actually owned by PayPal) but different. It’s a mobile app that allows you to make payments between friends and socialize the exchange. Out to dinner, want to easily split the check, one person pays, the others “Venmo” them their share and you get this cool friend feed to see what everyone is doing.

A Workers' Compensation Insurance Primer

Justworks

Every day of our lives, we face risks. To protect against these risks, we take preventative measures such as checking the weather forecast, maintaining our cars, or installing smoke alarms.

How Machine Learning is Changing Recruiting

TalentCulture

Of course, that’s not the norm: On average, a recent study found it takes 42 days—and a cost-per-hire of $4,129—to fill an open position. That adds up, especially since Bloomberg recently reported that approximately 10,000 members of the baby boomer generation reach retirement age every day.

Yet this quality—this tendency to (often subtly) avoid one’s managerial responsibilities definitely plays a role in organizations’ not achieving the results they need.
