Our Tolerance for Uncertainty

On the LONG flights (total over 20 hours in the air) to Southeast Asia earlier this week, I had the opportunity to reflect on the previous few weeks. I remembered that my actual flight arrangements for 3-April had not been booked until very late in March. . .and that I had been waiting for a prospective client in Kuala Lumpur (KL) to decide when/if they wanted to schedule the two-day workshop that had been in discussions for months.

Just after they had opted to postpone the engagement until my next visit--due to internal project challenges--another prospect woke up and emailed to ask if it was too late to get onto my crowded schedule. After not booking until the last minute, I still ended up changing my flight arrangements three times to accommodate the new client.

I think it is valuable to look at what's happening, why, and what it means to organizations moving forward. First, as we have said so many times before: the world is changing at an ever-increasing rate. The future is here today; that future we thought would take years to arrive.

Returning Vets Make Great Workers

Sandy Westlund-Deenihan, CEO of Quality Float Works in Schaumberg, Illinois is a model employer. "Nobody is really addressing the issues of greater numbers of people (returning veterans) coming out of the war with disabilities", said Westlund-Deenihan. Advances in battleground medical science have kept more wounded soldiers alive.

Having lived through the ordeal with family members, Westlund-Deenihan is on a personal campaign to hire and fast-track returning vets. The technology used in the military translates well to advanced manufacturing. In addition to having technological skills, they get themselves to work on time and stay focused. Some returning veterans are told to "dummy down", because they make their supervisors look bad.

Westlund-Deenihan also laments the fact that many employers are "uneducated" about the costs of hiring people with disabilities, as well as compliance issues. "They have no idea what outstanding employees these veterans make", she adds. "They even make excellent mentors for younger employees."

US Losing its Tourism Lead to China April 23, 2008

For years, the United States has held the number one position as the world’s most popular travel destination. However, according to the World Tourism Organization, by 2015 China will be number one.

Herman Trend Alert: Fail to Plan and You Plan to Fail

According to a recent study of 2,500 senior human resources executives, conducted by the Novations Group, a global consulting firm headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, fewer than half of the companies that have succession plans update those plans on a regular basis. At the same time, 22 percent of respondents which have succession plans in place, state their organizations often recruit from outside for senior level openings while ignoring their own preparatory work.

The pouring rain pelted the taxi with globs of water. Through the rain-splattered windows, the only visible scenery was the vegetation bordering the road and the almost white sky. My taxi driver, Mr. Chang, does not speak English, but most taxi drivers here in Kuala Lumpur share this "shortcoming". By the way, it is only a shortcoming for their English-speaking fares.

My first trip to KL, it lead to my having been taken to the wrong hotel at 1am. . . several kilometers away from my correct lodging with no local currency in hand. (Some lessons are more difficult to learn than others.)

The radio is blaring Top-40 tunes―from the US―back in the 60s. I am sitting silently in the backseat, consciously commanding my eyelids to stay open. Finally, as I succumb and close my eyes, even the plastic ballpoint pen feels heavy in my hand. Over 20 hours in the air is taking its toll.

What Got You Here Won't Get You There

Perhaps one of the most exciting opportunities for me as a management consultant is when I can be brilliant on cue. I had such an opportunity last week in Kuala Lumpur.

The meeting planner began by talking about their lack of profits from this year's event and their inability to pay speaker fees.

I interrupted her and said, "You are looking at this situation from the wrong perspective." We should be talking about how to increase attendance by marketing more effectively, rather than shrinking your conference. She further shared that they have a lot of new competition now from copy-cat conferences. I put on my marketing hat and went into consulting mode.

"What we need to do", I said, "is to add value". "Add value for each of your 'customer' segments: delegates, of course, but also speakers, exhibitors, and high-level delegate attendees.

Herman Trend Alert: Executives--A Dollar Shorter

As management consultants, we encourage candidates to evaluate prospective employers based on the total package of compensation, now called, "total rewards", including fringe benefits and perquisites. Recently, the compensation research firm Equilar conducted a study, detailing trends in "total rewards" for top executives of the 95 largest public companies by revenue in the United States.

Equilar tracks nine major areas of perks, including corporate housing benefits, personal and home security, and country club memberships. This year's study found the median values of seven of the nine major CEO perquisites it tracks had decreased.

New Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules require companies to disclose perks that cost more than $10,000; previously, the threshold for reporting was $50,000. Not surprisingly, this new level of disclosure has led to a decline in upscale extras. While these top public companies are spending more in two of the study's included areas of CEO perks, in general, executives are receiving the same or fewer "goodies" than last year.

From 2006 to 2007, the median value of CEO perquisites related to financial planning benefits (including other professional services such as tax preparation) declined by 9.2 percent, while expenditures for the personal use of corporate aircraft declined by 9.8 percent.

Herman Trend Alert: Consumer-Driven Higher Education

The Law of Supply and Demand is alive and well in higher education. Responding to market needs of increased competition, a college in North Carolina has begun to offer leading edge services to its students. Under the brilliant leadership of Dr. Nido Qubein, a serial entrepreneur and renowned professional speaker, High Point University (HPU) provides students with levels of service and perks never before seen in higher education.

Walking through campus is an experience in itself. The main greenway, the Kester International Promenade, features loudspeakers in the trees, playing classical music. HPU recently added six fountains to the campus and six more are planned. Other assorted extras include live music in the cafeteria, a sand volleyball court, and a 16-person hot tub.

HPU students are never hungry. During the warm months of the year, there is an ice cream truck touring campus, offering literally hundreds of varieties of complimentary ice cream and ices. Plus the campus has two snack kiosks providing complimentary refreshments, including pretzels, juice, bottled water, fruit, and hot chocolate throughout the day.

Herman Trend Alert: Spreading Jellies

Each week in cities around the world, people are gathering with their laptops to converse informally, work, brainstorm, and support each other. This new type of group connection is called "a Jelly" and thousands are participating from San Paulo to Sydney, from Boston to Beijing.

He named his non-traditional coworking opportunity "Jelly" because of the "collaboration and co-creation with people of varied skill sets and backgrounds". In August, Yahoo agreed to sponsor Jellies on a national level because they recognized the Jellies' potential for fostering creativity.

Herman Trend Alert: Addressing Childhood Obesity

Childhood obesity (including being overweight) has arrived at epidemic levels. Globally, an estimated 22 million children under the age of five are overweight; ten percent of those aged 5 to 17 are overweight or obese. During the last two decades, annual obesity prevalence rates in the 5 to 17 age group have increased by 0.5 percent per year in Brazil, and by almost one percent per year in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the rate among children has almost tripled since 1980.

This uptick in the US is attributable to an exponential rise in the use of high fructose corn syrup in many foods. This benign-sounding, yet insidious, substance turns off the body's "appestat", which prevents the brain from alerting the eater the stomach is full.

Most initiatives responding to childhood obesity focus on nutrition, physical activity, and body composition. However, an article published recently in the peer-reviewed journal "Preventing Chronic Disease" proposes the use of a Canadian prototype, the Child Health Ecological Surveillance System (CHESS). CHESS involves regional health authorities and considers the role environmental influences play.

"Crowdcruiting"---Doing More with Less

With reduced recruiting staff and diminished finances, companies will need to be as efficient as possible. One of the gurus of recruiting, Peter Weddle has coined the term "Crowdcruiting", which suggests drawing on under-utilized employer resources as an alternative to burning out current recruiting staffs. These tactics include asking the employees to help with recruiting and tapping into the candidate management system or the file for individuals with qualified resumes.

These ideas would seem to be nothing new, but Weddle intelligently takes the concepts a few steps farther. Although hiring managers consistently rate new hires generated from employee referral programs as "the best", most organizations do not optimize these programs.

Weddle further suggests organizing employees into referral channels and assigning an internal champion to support participation within each channel. This tactic engages each occupational or divisional group with a sense of ownership in the recruiting process and a stake in their future team members.

Second, specifically target the talent you want. Request that employees think beyond their family and friends and identify the best talent their field. Third, create an area on your intranet to post the names of these individuals, "solicit input on their capabilities and personality from other employees, and identify potential contacts with them".

Herman Trend Alert: Preventing Drug Abuse and Crime

Drug abuse remains one of the top five costliest health problems in the United States. Most of the money invested in combating alcohol and drug abuse goes towards responding to the consequences of these societal problems. Only a minimal two percent goes to prevention, according to a recent report from the National Center for Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University.

The study also found that 96 percent of the $467.7 billion that federal, state, and local governments spend on substance abuse is used to deal with the public effects, including crime and homelessness. Healthcare costs associated with substance abuse receive the largest percentage (58.0). Governments spend the second largest percentage (13.1) on costs of prosecuting and jailing offenders.

In a related study from the United States Office of Drug Control Policy, over half of the men arrested in nine selected cities tested "positive" for drugs. The only exception to this finding was Washington, DC with 48.6 percent, which experienced an almost 30 percent decrease between 2007 and 2008. Most of the cities, Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New York, Portland (Oregon), and Sacramento, either remained the same or decreased in percentages of positively testing men arrested. Only Charlotte increased and then only by a fraction of a percent (0.2).

Medical Research Will Inform Personal Choices for Some

Many people around the world are overweight, however no where is that more apparent than in the United States where over two-thirds of the population (66.7 percent)* are overweight or obese. Recent studies help us understand why.

A new study conducted by the National Cancer Institute confirmed what others implied---frequently eating red and processed meats increases your risk of dying by at least 33 percent. Researchers defined "red meats" to include beef and pork, while "processed meats" included sausages, hot dogs, and all cold cuts.

This large-scale study followed 500,000 people for 10 years. Reflecting on this study, Professor Barry Popkin at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of "The World Is Fat" wrote in the "Archives of Internal Medicine":, ". . .the need is for a major reduction in total meat intake".

Also released in the last few months was a new recommendation from the American Heart Association (AHA): American women should not consume more than 100 calories (about six teaspoons) of added sugar a day, while men should limit their intake to no more than 150 calories (about nine teaspoons). The AHA defines "added sugar" as sugars put into foods during processing, cooking, or consumption.

The Future of Brand-Building

When picking media, we choose the most cost-effective and efficient medium available. From China, where young people spend an average of 16 hours per week surfing the net and only 11 hours watching television, comes the serialized Internet-based medium titled "Lucy's Diary".

In this innovative, successful series, consumers decide what the character Lucy will do every day. This high level of interactivity serves to engage consumers and build brands. Sponsored by Estée Lauder's cosmetic and skin care line Clinique, the story centers on the brand.

According to Marketing Guru Martin Lindstrom, this use of the Internet represents "the next generation of product placement in which the show is built around the brand, the product being the central character". In the future, all brands will be reinforced using online, television, or other media, possibly including mobile platforms, too.

But wait, there's more! There is another brilliant, leading edge brand-building, product placement concept that deserves discussion: www.houseparty.com. A "House Partyâ„¢" is actually thousands of parties across the United States. Hosted by consumers, these events highlight a product or service the sponsor wants its best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends. Here's an example:

December 05, 2009, General Mills will sponsor the Betty Crocker® Cookie Mix House Party™. In homes across the country, groups of consumers will celebrate their passion for baking. Interested consumers are encouraged to "invite friends and family over to share recipes, baking tips, and inspiration while creating cookies that are uniquely theirs".
Starting with Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes, the company promotes discovering "the endless [baking] possibilities". Party hosts receive "a robust party pack" full of Betty Crocker Cookie Mixes, recipes, and baking must-haves. Would-be hosts are vetted with a 12-minute survey. Hosts are expected to blog and tweet during the party and post pictures on line.

Both Lindstrom and I forecast that more of these brand-centered, interactive net-shows will appear in the near future, creating a more efficient new product placement standard. Extending to mobile, virtual universes, and other leading edge platforms, these new direct marketing media will allow brand builders to more highly target their markets.

GOOD SELECTION = BETTER RETENTION

If you are not using pre- and post-employment assessments, you are flying without radar---not very smart in today's highly competitive environment. Let us help you better understand your candidates AND your employees. In less than 30 minutes, you will know their capabilities; their work behaviors, even their personality and attitudes (like integrity & ethics), and those can't be trained. It's very cost effective, too! For more information, contact Joyce at 336-210-3548 or e-mail assessments@hermangroup.com. Validated for many countries and cultures. We offer in-depth help with job descriptions, too! http://www.hermangroup.com/assessments.html

ARE YOU READY FOR THE RECOVERY?

Most employers are unprepared. The recovery next year will bring a new set of challenges for employers that have been in prolonged contracted mode. They will need more skilled workers or will need now to begin to upskill their current staffs. But organizations can not engage in Strategic Workforce Planning, when they don't know how. That's where The Herman Group can help. We can help you with your "People Review"----large or small---so that you will know who you will need and when you will need them. . . and we can also guide you to the best sources for the people you will need. For more information, call Joyce at 336.210.3548 or email joyce@hermangroup.com
