What employers really want? Workers they don't have to train - The Washington Post - 0 views

  •  
    Article by Peter Cappelli, Washington Post, September 5. "Companies simply haven't invested much in training their workers. In 1979, young workers got an average of 2.5 weeks of training a year. While data is not easy to come by, around 1995, several surveys of employers found that the average amount of training workers received per year was just under 11 hours, and the most common topic was workplace safety - not building new skills. By 2011, an Accenture study showed that only about a fifth of employees reported getting on-the-job training from their employers over the past five years."

How Freelancers Could Determine The Next Presidential Election | Fast Company | Busines... - 0 views

  • 53 million voting-age Americans
  • Politicos, meet freelancers.
  • More than one in three Americans (34%) is doing some type of freelance work
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • freelancers’ economic reality is so different from what most politicians understand. Freelancers are simultaneously entrepreneurs and precarious workers. They’re small business owners and workers. That’s why you’re starting to hear echoes of their concerns in the rhetoric of both Rand Paul and Elizabeth Warren.
  • Up-and-down income. Double taxation. No benefits. No safety net. And a government and culture that still doesn’t understand them or the way they work.
  • The bottom line is that this type of gig work is here to stay, whether we choose to embrace it or not.

  • Learning is on the move. Mobile, social and informal exchanges of information are enhancing or replacing traditional training and course structures.
  • economic pressure is rewarding the creative repurposing of content freely available on the Web and from original sources.
  • For example, the portal may integrate wiki pages to support threaded discussions on a critical topic, link to user profiles to create expert networks and provide access to electronic performance support to enable just-in-time learning.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Imagine the value of assessing learning by correlating:• A decrease in plant accidents with an increase in safety training.• An increase in sales with an increase in sales training and collaboration.• An increase in customer satisfaction scores with an increase in performance support for the call center.

    Although written in 2011, it forecasts nicely how LMSs are being revamped/enhanced/integrated with business performance & business transformation. Really it's about boundary management, too, in terms of formal employer led/sponsored training/learning and what employees may learn and apply on their own.

Habits: Why We Do What We Do - 0 views

  • 40% to 45% of what we do every day sort of feels like a decision, but it’s actually habit.
  • There’s a cue, which is like a trigger for the behavior to start unfolding, A routine, which is the habit itself, the behavior, the automatic sort of doing what you do when you do a habit.
  • And then at the end, there’s a reward. And the reward is how our neurology learns to encode this pattern for the future.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • diagnose the cue and the reward.
  • every cue falls into usually one of five categories.
  • t’s usually a time of day, a certain place, the presence of certain other people, a particular emotion, or kind of a set of behaviors that’s become ritualized.
  • And that’s the reward that I was craving, was socialization.
  • keystone habits. Some habits seem to have a disproportionate influence
  • And in a lot of people’s lives a keystone habit is exercise. When they start exercising, they start using their credit cards less. They start procrastinating less. They do their dishes earlier. Something about exercise makes other habits more malleable.
  • So O’Neill actually said, I want to make workers more safe. I want to change worker safety habits. And everyone could sign on to that. What he was actually saying was, I want to make every single factory more efficient and more productive and producing a higher quality product, because that’s how we make things safer. But if he had come in and he had ordered greater efficiency, everyone would have rebelled, all the workers at least. But you come in and you say, I want to make everything safer, that’s something everyone can sign onto.
  • But 5% of your job as a CEO is making the big strategy choice. 95% is managing small choices, managing what your culture is going to be like, managing how you structure the rewards and the incentives that determine how people kind of automatically behave.
  • And when psychologists have looked at quantum changers, what they found is these are people who suddenly became very deliberate about their habits. There’s something almost magical about understanding how habits work, because studies show that once you understand, once you think about the structure of a habit, it becomes easier to change that habit. And once you change that habit, you start making these small, incremental adjustments to your day that over a year or over a decade can add up to a huge difference.
