I've been reading that it's better for your health and productivity to stand at your desk rather than to sit hunched over it like a gargoyle (who knew?), but I'd never really heard anyone personally vouch for it until my friend Eve at CareerDiva. Then, I got a tweet from Jeff Gothelf at The Ladders, extolling the virtues of standing at work. I called him and then filed this story for Gannett/USAToday: When Jeff Gothelf heard that standing while working at your computer had health benefits, he sa

'In my various presentations around HR 2.0 I try to stress that just about any people management process can be social-ified. But I usually explain that in some areas, eg in reward, the change may be more about using social approaches, eg pay transparency, rather than social media.

Shifting business models, increased regulation, M&As, JVs, divestitures, expansion, and contraction are all the part of the "new normal." And today''s business climate generously rewards operational scalability, elasticity, and endurance—all of which can only be achieved by having the right people and a deep focus on continuous workforce alignment and optimization.
