Generation Gap Causes Conflict in Some Workplaces, SHRM Poll Shows

Alexandria, Va., April 29, 2011 — Conflict between members of different generations exists in almost three-quarters of organizations, and more than half of organizations actively work to reduce that conflict, according to a new poll from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

SHRM released the results of its “Intergenerational Conflict in the Workplace” poll as the May edition of the Society’s HR Magazine published a cover story about the multigenerational workforce. Five generations will be represented in the U.S. workforce next year, the magazine noted.

Jobg8 hosts webinar: The .JOBS Affair – The breaking of rules we count on to build a business.

Portland, Maine – April 26, 2011 – Jobg8 hosts leaders of the .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition who will discuss the implications of the .JOBS expansion on the global employment website industry.

The proposed expansion by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) of the .JOBS top level domain creates dramatic problems for the employment website industry and individual website owners. In addition to the precedent it sets for arbitrarily changing online business rules, it has already permitted a single company to launch tens of thousands of .JOBS names (e.g., London.jobs, IT.jobs) into the marketplace. This move has global implications and will create confusion with every existing brand, threaten company trademarks and potentially undercut an online job board’s bottom line.

Background Check Industry Has Made Advancements since Start of 21st Century

Since the start of the 21st century, in a little more than a decade from the years 2000 to 2011, background checks have gone from a luxury to a necessity, from a primarily government run endeavor to a substantial private sector business with a large number of firms providing service, and from a mostly expensive time and labor consuming task to, in some cases, a totally automated paperless solution.

Due in large part to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 that led to increased security on all fronts in the United States, the background check industry has helped employers keep criminals, terrorists, and imposters out of their workplaces.
