The
Cultural Fit Factor
The Cultural Fit
Factor informs HR professionals and other business leaders that
when and if an organization has carefully evaluated its belief
systems and ensured that employees believe in the same
principles and values, it can focus its energy and activity in
powerful ways to achieve organizational goals. This must be
articulated in clear, consistent terms. The organization must
live its values. Employees, potential employees, customers and
vendors know if you mean it--their instincts and intuition tell
them instantly if you mean what you say, and your actions show
it. If your organization is unclear about its values, or is not
living them, an incongruence in your employer branding emerges,
which undermines your recruitment and retention efforts. You may
attract qualified candidates, but qualified candidates that
don't mesh with your organizational culture tend not to stay
long.

Employees
Look to Basics for Perfect Job
Having a job these
days is top priority. But assuming this, U.S. workers responding
to a recent survey pretty much have a stripped-down view of the
perfect job: They want good pay, interesting and challenging
work, and health insurance. Of course, five weeks of vacation,
free lunch and lifetime gym membership as perks wouldn't hurt
either.

EXPRESS REQUESTS
Finding
Training Grants
It's the Catch-22 of training:
When work and revenue flows, it is difficult to take employees
away from their jobs for training. But, when work slows and
employees have time to train, there is less money in the
training budget. Fortunately, some companies have determined how
to break free of this vicious cycle. These employers have sought
government funding allocated for employee retraining. To receive
resources on this topic, visit SHRM's Hot
Topics Express Request service and select key term
FINDING TRAINING GRANTS (ORGANIZATIONAL & EMPLOYEE
DEVELOPMENT).
