Hello all,  Jeff Waldman here.  As my first post, I am sharing the latest article from my blog.  I look forward to becoming the newest contributer to Talent Culture and hope you all enjoy my writing! I’ve been itching to write something about social recruiting… why?  Because people who should be all over social recruiting and leveraging [...]

This is personal. As it is for anyone right now looking for work. A recent Monster+HotJobs poll found that 98% of American workers are “primed and ready” to look for a new job in 2011, their optimism buoyed by a recovering employment and economic picture.  (Read the entire pre-TChat post from @MattCharney at Monster Thinking [...]

At the beginning of each New Year, leaders look to the previous year and take stock of what’s transpired and make predictions on what is to come. I have done exactly that and recognized that, while 2010 was a challenging year for me on a lot of levels, it was also gratifying beyond measure. I’ve [...]

It was almost like science fiction. Almost. The fact that last night’s #TChat was about 2011 workplace culture predictions and commentary, and we as pseudo-soothsayers and part-time prophets were locked in a post-economic-apocalyptic vault painting the walls with phosphorescent Twiffiti. Some of which was right on the bottom line, and some of which was, well, not. [...]

My personal strategy is doing lots of evaluation on important things throughout the year to gauge what’s working and not working. These regular progress and results checks suggest a range of adjustments to make (along with their potential impacts). Afterward, I decide what to change.

It’s tempting, in an end-of-year post, to mourn and dwell what didn’t happen in the year past, to give cheery career tips for the new year, or to speculate on emerging innovation trends.

Yes, we want to take over the world.  Our monster end-of-year #TChat show about how social, mobile and video as rock stars impact workplace culture and predictions for 2011 was a rousing success. Over 1,500 smarty pants tweets in the hour alone.  A hat tip and a thank you to all of you who did. [...]

I thought it would be useful to our readers to include weekly recommended readings in preparation for #TChat. We will give this format a whirl from now into 2011. Wow, did I just say that? 2010 has been such an interesting year for workplace culture innovation. As you may know, I’m in love with ideas. [...]
