Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 21, 2011 – Despite signs the economy is steadily improving, most employees feel less secure in their jobs compared to a year ago, according to a survey of 581 American workers by Right Management. Right Management is the talent and career management expert within Manpower, the global leader in innovative workforce solutions. Completed by the firm March 14, the online survey found that 71% reported they are less secure in their job than last year, while 14% feel just as secure and 15% more secure. “We really expected a more optimistic outlook by employees,” said Douglas J. Matthews, Right Management’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “In fact, we thought most respondents would tell us they were feeling at least as secure as a year ago now that it appears the recession is well past its depth. But it seems it will take more time for people to get over the trauma of the long downturn, and job security is probably the sort of indicator that lags behind any good news.” Read more.

In the Computer section, students can choose from 200-plus Senior-friendly computer and Internet lesson plans written specifically for them that have been taught in a college classroom or SeniorNet Classroom Learning Center.

(From PRWEB) — Bernard Hodes Group, a leading provider of integrated talent solutions, released the results of a new research study focused on the utilization of social media networks by companies interested in sourcing and recruiting new talent. The study, entitled “The Employment Conversation: How Employers & Talent are Meeting on the Social Web,” additionally reveals how the online population utilizes social media for seeking career-related information. Among the most interesting findings is that only one-third (32%) of those surveyed and searching social media sites found an employer presence containing helpful job-related information. “Our research supports the importance of a social media presence from a recruiting and branding standpoint,” said Alan Schwartz, president and CEO, Bernard Hodes Group. “Companies must be committed to nurturing their social web presence and ensure that they are connecting with potential candidates in an honest and authentic manner.” According to human resources professionals who participated in the Hodes study, the biggest challenges to deploying social strategies for recruiting purposes are managing internal training and resources needed for implementation, convincing co-workers or superiors that it is a worthwhile endeavor, funding, and organizational reluctance to change.
