(From Business Wire) — Lumesse, a global leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced that it is making available as a free download the final detailed report on its global survey Inspiring Talent 2011 at www.lumesse.com/talentsurvey2011 . The survey reveals that despite employee happiness at work, 29% of workers expect to leave their companies within five years. Four out of five employees also felt that their skills were not fully utilized, while almost half reported that their performance appraisal process was of little or no value. Based on a survey of almost 4,000 employees in larger companies in 14 countries, including the US, UK, Germany and China, the report examines employee attitudes to their jobs and employers in areas such as loyalty, job satisfaction, workplace pride, training opportunities and salary perceptions. Lumesse CEO Matthew Parker noted: “Some consistent messages come out of this free report regardless of age, gender and geographical location. It’s clear that many people feel their skills are not used as well as they could be, and that many employers are not using effective performance appraisal techniques to help people contribute more. For many people the solution is going to be a move to a new job. That’s a pity because overall the survey shows good levels of workplace pride and satisfaction. If employers can combine that happiness with better career management then the benefits are obvious – better retention, better performance and higher productivity.” Read more .

(From Business Wire) — In the first day of the second annual New York Forum, leading experts offered insights on creating jobs in the U.S., China’s future and the importance of empowering women as a tool for economic development. “For a second consecutive year, the New York Forum brought together a fully committed group of top business leaders who shared more optimism and who are very focused on bringing solutions to the major issues that the economy is facing,” said Richard Attias, founder of The New York Forum and Chairman of Richard Attias & Associates. A high-level panel of members of President Barack Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness called for a focus on entrepreneurship, reforming immigration, investing in public-private partnerships and a renewed spirit of optimism to spur job creation. Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to President Obama, said creating jobs is challenging but attainable and “There is reason to be optimistic.” While the President believes long-term, sustainable job growth rests with the private sector, she said, investing in big infrastructure projects will help jump-start the economy. Fast-tracking those projects is an immediate priority. Read more .
