Down economy or not, workplace staffing continues to seek productivity and efficiency answers

February 12, 2009 11:35 by jllorens

(Atlanta, GA, PRWEB, February 12, 2009) PreVisor, the global leader in employment assessments and talent measurement solutions that connect employment decisions to business results, released its 1st annual Global Assessment Trends report today summarizing findings from over 170 companies representing nearly two dozen industries located around the world. This first of its kind comprehensive survey will help human resources practitioners and consultants evaluate their own practices related to assessing current and future employees.

 

The 2009 Global Assessment Trends Report (GATR) was completed in conjunction with U.S. and companies based outside the U.S. in Australia, Canada, India, United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, and elsewhere. Most respondents worked within the human resources organization, with others representing operations, sales, training, IT, finance, and others.

"While the report findings must be tempered based on the disturbances in the global economy, the survey results may become even more relevant as organizations begin to increase their focus on internal talent as well as becoming more selective when hiring new talent," explained Dr. Sarah Fallaw, co-author of the GATR.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

I personally have embraced the new technologies and the CMS platforms, I think the new tools only make the web designs better. I am glad that new technologies are coming out in web design that make things easier, improved, and better looking for design.

Hey - nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?

I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won't die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won't have a blog but now a days it's very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.
