""At this time, compensation is tied to roles, and the badges encompass the work or skills being done in those roles," says Lisa Jewett, who has the role of "@Badge_Librarian" and is leading how compensation works in the Zappos Holacracy. "However, we are currently in the process of building a more robust badging system that will allow people to build their salary based on the avenues they would like to pursue." Essentially, that means that the pursuit of badges may eventually resemble a "leveling up" process from video games, where the acquiring of a new badge automatically equals a bigger paycheck. As of now, employees looking for a raise submit an application to Zappos' Compensation Circle, a group of employees responsible for approving salaries. "

"Six months ago, a New York-based consulting company named Undercurrent took a dose of its own medicine by becoming a holacracy: the management structure used by GitHub and Zappos. Here's how they did it."

Pas forcément besoin de diplôme "LAST June, in an interview with Adam Bryant of The Times, Laszlo Bock, the senior vice president of people operations for Google - i.e., the guy in charge of hiring for one of the world's most successful companies - noted that Google had determined that "G.P.A.'s are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless. ... We found that they don't predict anything." He also noted that the "proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time" - now as high as 14 percent on some teams. At a time when many people are asking, "How's my kid gonna get a job?" I thought it would be useful to visit Google and hear how Bock would answer."

"Social networks disrupt hierarchical structures. Web-based social networks accelerate the spread of new ideas and lay bare organizational flaws. Anyone in a position of power and authority is losing some of that due to the growing power of social networks - doctors, teachers, managers, politicians. Social networks speed access to knowledge and accelerate learning. They allow people to quickly make and change connections. Seb Paquet calls this "ridiculously easy group-forming"."

By the late 20th century, a knowledge economy began to take hold.  Workers became valued not for their labor, but for specialized knowledge, much of which was inscrutable to their superiors. Successful enterprises became learning organizations. Now, we are entering a new industrial revolution and machines are starting to take over cognitive tasks as well.  Therefore, much like in the first industrial revolution, the role of humans is again being rapidly redefined.  Organizations will have to change the way that they learn and managers' primary task will be to design the curricula.

"Gartner Says That by 2017, 25 Percent of Enterprises Will Have an Enterprise App Store Growing Number of Enterprise Mobile Devices and Enterprise Adoption of MDM Will Drive Demand and Adoption of Enterprise App Stores Analysts Examine the State of the Industry at Gartner Application Architecture, Development By 2017, 25 percent of enterprises will have an enterprise app store for managing corporate-sanctioned apps on PCs and mobile devices, according to Gartner, Inc. Enterprise app stores promise greater control over the apps used by employees, greater control over software expenditures and greater negotiating leverage with app vendors, but this greater control is only possible if the enterprise app store is widely adopted.  "Apps downloaded from public app stores for mobile devices disrupt IT security, application and procurement strategies," said Ian Finley, research vice president at Gartner. "Bring your own application (BYOA) has become as important as bring your own device (BYOD) in the development of a comprehensive mobile strategy, and the trend toward BYOA has begun to affect desktop and Web applications as well. Enterprise app stores promise at least a partial solution but only if IT security, application, procurement and sourcing professionals can work together to successfully apply the app store concept to their enterprises. When successful, they can increase the value delivered by the application portfolio and reduce the associated risks, license fees and administration expenses."  Gartner has identified three key enterprise app store trends and recommendations of how organizations can benefit from them:  The increasing number of enterprise mobile devices and the adoption of mobile device management (MDM) by enterprises will drive demand and adoption of enterprise app stores. Enterprises already have numerous choices for downloading software onto PCs, but most of them don't include support for smartphones and tablets. Enterprises are beginning to f

"The concept of a job, as we know it, is starting to go away. Over the last year I've been speaking with many corporate business and HR leaders and have heard a common theme: we need our organizations to be more agile. We need to redesign the organization so we can learn faster, communicate better, and respond more rapidly to change. This quest for the agile organization has changed the nature of what we call a job. "

"In Metric Power, David Beer examines the intensifying role that metrics play in our everyday lives, from healthcare provision to our interactions with friends and family, within the context of the so-termed data revolution. This is a book that illustrates our growing implication in, and arguable acquiescence to, an increasingly quantified world, but, Thomas Christie Williams asks, where do we locate resistance?  "

"Are lacklustre wages an inevitable consequence of globalisation and technological change? Or has policy had a role to play? Technology, according to new research presented at the annual conference of the UK's Royal Economic Society, is not in itself the problem. Instead, a mix of globalisation and the decline of worker bargaining power have been responsible for employees' woes. And, the paper suggests, bolstering trade unions would be a better way to shore up workers in the future than skills training."

"Ce « travail gratuit » peut prendre la forme de temps donné à ses collègues, d'une participation à la vie commune, des conseils donnés sans être comptabilisés. Cet espace de gratuité permet d'être quelqu'un au travail. Plus on diminue cet espace du gratuit, plus on comptabilise tout, on prescrit tout, on diminue la part de don, de liberté, plus on effrite le sens du travail."

"La QVT qu'est ce que c'est ? Qu'est-ce qui pousse les dirigeants à s'en emparer ? Et pourquoi ne pas aller vers l'entreprise libérée ? Les collectifs sont-ils morts ? Dans un entretien croisé, une conversation entre Yves Grasset, sociologue du travail et auteur de Nourrir le collectif - sortir de l'individualisation pour sauver le travail et Martin Richer spécialiste de la Responsabilité Sociale des Entreprises et co-auteur du rapport Qualité de vie au travail : un levier de compétitivité, ces questions vont trouver réponse... et le manager sa juste place."

"We'll need strategies to shift jobs into the fields where humans outperform robots, and tax and welfare schemes that take the new economy into account. Ultimately, the impact of the robot revolution won't just be down to the technology itself, but how we use it-or more importantly, whether the people using it is in fact a "we," or a limited, elitist "they.""

Technology is hailed as a powerful engine of job creation, but things may not be as rosy as we like to think. Yes, it creates opportunities for new businesses and new roles across all sectors, but there is also evidence that tech destroys jobs, and is largely behind the sluggish employment growth of the past 10 to 15 years.

Et si les entreprises prenaient en main la santé de leurs salariés, en leur proposant un ensemble de services clé en main, comme, par exemple trouver un rendez-vous chez un ophtalmologue en moins de trois mois, évaluer leurs risques en fonction de leur travail et de leur mode de vie, dépister les maladies graves, bénéficier d'une aide dans des situations difficiles comme le soutien d'un parent âgé, réduire le poids de leurs dépenses de soins ou bâtir des « tableaux de bord » personnalisés de santé ? Voilà la proposition de « coaching santé » qu'adresse aux entreprises de toutes tailles l'assureur complémentaire Malakoff Médéric, le groupe mutualiste paritaire dirigé par Guillaume Sarkozy, ex-patron du Medef et par ailleurs frère aîné de Nicolas Sarkozy
