Deafening Republican Silence on Financial Fraud Task Force – The Nation. (blog)
(From Bloomberg.com) — Julia Jia was the first girl from her small village in Shandong Province to go to university. Now 30, she works for Louis Vuitton China’s retail department and would like to have a career in luxury goods, perhaps in sales development or public relations. “Of course, I want to be in top management,” Jia says, echoing the high-flying aspirations that have catapulted so many Chinese women into the business elite. Then in a seeming contradiction, she adds that she worries about work/life balance. “I would feel frustrated working 60 to 70 hours a week,” she confesses. “If there were a conflict with taking care of my children or elders, I would give up my career.” Jia’s attitude astonishes colleagues in their 40s and 50s. As the first university graduates to emerge from Communism to a newly developing China in the 1980s and 90s, those women didn’t hesitate to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their careers. But according to data from the Center for Talent Innovation (formerly the Center for Work-Life Policy), today’s younger generation is different. “The mindset has really changed,” notes an HR manager for a major multinational corporation. “Women now talk about facials and traveling and all the things that the older generation didn’t think about until they were more established.” The next generation of global leaders will differ in fundamental ways from the people now heading up countries and corporations. Our research into female talent in emerging markets concludes that many will be women: Just as in the United States, where women college graduates now outnumber men, women are flooding into universities and graduate schools in Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the BRIC markets), accounting for 60% of students enrolled in tertiary education in Brazil, 57% in Russia, and 47% in China.

Understanding Female Talent in Emerging BRIC Markets
(From PRWEB) — BI WORLDWIDE, a global business improvement company, recently released an article called Employees as Marketers discussing employee engagement’s impact on building a solid brand. The article was written by Lorraine Frias, interactive promotions strategist at BI WORLDWIDE. “Large companies spend millions of dollars annually building and maintaining their brand,” Frias said. But sometimes they forget to acknowledge the connection between the employee experience and the customer experience. According to Frias, “organizations need to view employees as marketers of their product, service or brand, regardless of their position in the company.” Employee engagement programs can greatly improve the way employees interact with customers on the front-lines. Frias said “companies need to use both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators to drive behavior change and motivate employees.” Extrinsic motivation comes from influences outside of oneself such as an incentive program that motivates employees to sell certain products or rewards an individual for high performance behavior. This type of motivation also comes from the fear of a poor performance review or the threat of being laid off. Read more .

Employees as Marketers: Using Engagement to Build Brands
(From Marketwire) — Taleo Corporation, the global leader of SaaS-based Talent Management solutions, today released a report summarizing the 2011 business climate and related talent management trends for 2012. After an extremely challenging and unpredictable 2011, businesses today operate in a market of thinner margins, lighter demand, credit and liquidity challenges and an uncertain outlook going into 2012. Talent decisions have taken on increased importance in the face of these challenges as companies failing to effectively manage the flow of critical talent are risking their growth and in some cases even their survival. Social networks, on the other hand, are growing increasingly important in the endeavor to identify new talent. Read more .
