Disney College Program - Florida Onboarding Home | Jobs and Careers - 3 views

  •  
    I am a Disney fan but now knowing a person who works there and seeing their on boarding process (via this website) it is no wonder that they are such a huge and successful company.   The website goes through, what looks like, everything a person would need to know in getting started at Disney.   I could see how helpful a website such as this would be to almost any profession.  Disney obviously has enough money to produce this website and keep it current, but I do not think that would be too hard or expensive for a school district, police agency, banking industry, military, or many other professions to implement.

    I did my undergraduate at the U of WI Stout and they had a huge partnership with Disney and doing internships. I heard some really great stuff from friends that did their internship there and had positive things to say about the onboarding.

    I really like the idea of a website once you are hired. I would be a great resource for so many things and even though labor intensive to get up an running should be easily maintained. Wouldn't need to be as elaborate as Disney just so the information is accurate. Thanks for the article

    My niece just completed an intership this summer with Disney. She was pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive the website and training was for interns. Eventhough she was scheduled to intern for six months, everything about the training and experience won her over to want to be a lifetime employee of Disney. Many companies could learn from this model.

    I heard that the first two days of employee orientation is strictly story telling. They use the 'cast' members to acclimate employees to the Disney culture using stories. I feel like this is really in sync with Disney culture and would also be a very effective way to get employee excited about their role in the bigger Disney 'story'.

Leadership: Current Theories, Research, and Future Directions - Annual Review of Psycho... - 1 views

  •  
    As I read this I was drawn to section on cognitive constructs. I found it very interesting and the openness of which the author references the need for future research makes me wonder if we are getting closer to understanding the cognitive sciences or just beginning to grasp how big this issue could be.

The DOs and DON'Ts of Performance Reviews - 4 views

  •  
    Interesting info on the Do's and Don'ts as the title of this article indicates.  Sometimes just need the reminder.   Kind of interesting how we (all businesses, organizations and agencies) seem to understand how bad these things are but just keep doing them (wrong) anyway

    Very interesting article....I see a lot of those "mistakes" working in HR. :)
  •  
    I found the pay for performance interesting as often time an employee needs to meet certain "basic" expectations in a review to get a raise. If they don't get the review they want and are in a union then it can be grieved. I wonder if this is why most managers of union employees don't bother to give accurate reviews because it creates more paper work and documentation of a job they don't want to do anyway (performance reviews)

    The pay for performance seems to the norm in the past three organizations I have worked for. The mistake pointed out in this part is accurate, small difference in percentages between performers only goes to promote an imbalance between team members.

The Importance of Employer Branding in Recruiting | Americasjobexchange.com - 2 views

  •  
    With so many avenues for social media, it is important to have good "branding" for your organization. Something that represents the company and attracts potential candidates.
  •  
    I agree that good branding is a critical aspect for all organizations to consider in recruiting. It is also important to make sure the brand aligns with the actions of the organization and its employees; otherwise it has the potential to damage the reputation of the organization.
  •  
    I know many of organizations that utilize this type of branding as a means to re-enforce their product. Their superior talent is supposed to coincide with their product. Its interesting though that many individuals are passed over because they did not necessarily embody the branded traits help by the organization. I wonder who is to blame when the company goes into a nose dive economically?
