TUC reports "Employers undervalue the skills of migrant workers"

I came across this article titled "Employers fail to make full use of migrant worker's skills" in Personnel Today

This report by TUC analyzes on how the migrant workers can contribute to the UK economy. However the report also highlighted that most of the migrant workers were trapped in low-skill and low-paid jobs.

Find below the text clips from the article

TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "For too long the skills and qualifications of migrant workers have been desperately undervalued.

"Unions are working hard to develop learning and training strategies to persuade employers to recognise the qualifications of migrant workers, and employers need to wake up to the skills and potential these workers can offer."

New Blame Game - Directors Blame Compensation Consultants

A new study revealed that atleast two out of ten directors believe that CEO compensation is "too high".

Find below the interesting study facts from WorkForce.com

Roughly three out of 10 directors believe that CEO compensation is “too high in most cases,” according to a new study by recruiter Heidrick & Struggles and the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business.

The study polled 227 directors of U.S. public companies.

The findings of the USC study beg the question: Why are these board members signing off on excessive pay packages? After all, a board’s compensation committee is charged with setting the level and type of compensation given to chief executives.

Ed Lawler, a professor of business at the USC and co-author of the study, says that board members swear it’s not their fault; compensation consultants, they claim, are the major reason CEO pay is so out of control.

“Directors are saying that in the interest of making more money, compensation consultants keep coming up with new incentive products that boards have to buy to stay competitive with their peers,” Lawler says. “So in some ways, yes, they contribute.”

HR teams make no difference - Survey Results by Ceridian

Ceridian - HR Service provider conducted a survey of 1000 workers. Personnel Today published an article on survey results.

Find below the text clips from the article.

Half of office-based employees believe that human resource teams make no difference to their jobs.

The survey heaps further criticism on the HR function, following scathing remarks by Luke Johnson in the Financial Times earlier this week.

Johnson argued that HR – like IT, legal and marketing departments – doesn't sell produce, it just consumes.

CareerBuilder - Poor Show in USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter

CareerBuilder new adcampaign dubbed 'Start Building' was ranked 39th & 47th in USA Today's annual popularity contest.


A weak showing in last year’s USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter got (or, depending on whom you believe, contributed to getting) CareerBuilder’s agency, Cramer-Krasselt, fired. So, does a significantly worse showing in this year’s survey mean that the online job site’s new agency, Wieden & Kennedy, ought to be worried?

Asked about the Ad Meter results, a CareerBuilder spokeswoman said Wieden was safe, adding: “We’re very excited about this campaign.”

She also maintained that the Ad Meter was not the sole criterion in C-K’s firing last year. “The whole decision wasn’t based on the poll or any single factor.”
