Canada Housing and Mortgage surmounts plateauing

Article Abstract:

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp has taken steps to change the definition of a successful employee from someone who rapidly climbs the corporate ladder to a person who demonstrates initiative and enthusiasm and contributes to the company in order to help their staff cope with the problems encountered because of occupational plateauing. Occupational plateauing can take the form of content plateauing, where a job does not change, and structural plateauing, where employees can not climb the corporate ladder. To combat content plateauing, the company initiated changes that included placing an emphasis on educating employees to upgrade their skills, implementing a hire-from-within first policy when openings occur, and developing an employee assistance program to provide staff with professional assistance for dealing with organizational created stress.

Is your business temporary ready?

Article Abstract:

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, temporary employees have increased by approximately 70 percent nationwide over the past three years, probably due to the recession and the changing economy. Temporary work can be of benefit to the company (since it reduces the cost of interviewing and hiring, and most temporary workers settle for little or no benefits and lower salary), and it can also be of benefit to workers who are new in town or in their field, and parents who want to work only part time. A temporary employee's work environment changes daily and, therefore, the agency should provide the temporary worker with information on the dress code expected, lunch and break policies, the type of service or products the company is involved with, and who is the supervisor.
