Many people believe that if they just get that college degree or industry certification, they will have no trouble finding a job. They also believe that once they get their foot in the door, then they will continue to climb the ladder if they work hard. If you believe the same, you are wrong. Today, employers are looking for more than someone to write code or deal with customers.

I've known many job candidates who cannot figure out why they didn't get the job after what they considered to be a great interview. I've also heard from workers who don't understand why they don't get a promotion after receiving good marks from their bosses. Why do these people fail to get the job or the promotion? New research may explain the reason.

Self-employment isn’t for everyone. As a career coach and a business owner myself, I’ve seen it go very, very wrong at times. It just doesn’t suit everyone’s career needs. While it might sound nice to “be your own boss,” it takes a certain person in a certain situation to make it work. If you are currently exploring entrepreneurial endeavors or plan to in the future, consider the following questions first.

While business leaders are always worried about disruption, the reality is that companies have more time to react than they think and that an effective response is available to them. Too often, companies respond to the fear of disruption by taking random actions aimed at catching up to competitors or by postponing investments because they fear the outcomes won't be relevant.

If you're counting on a pay raise for next year, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise. That's because despite greater competition for workers and a steadier economy, employers are re-thinking just who should get a pay boost -- and why. According to an Aon Hewitt survey of 1,062 companies, an average of 12.5% of payroll is targeted for incentive and bonus pay in 2018.

There's a lot of stress at work these days, which are why things like yoga and mindfulness are such popular topics. But new research finds that deep breathing and downward-facing dog aren't enough to really reduce worker stress -- it's on-the-job learning that may lead to better outcomes. Specifically, the University of Michigan finds that workers felt better -- and exhibited less troublesome behavior -- when they were learning something new as opposed to using relaxation techniques.

After the World Trade Center fell, those of us who were there were divided into therapy groups. Sorted by trauma. People who lost a parent in one group.

Medicare Advantage, the program through which Medicare recipients purchase private insurance for out-of-pocket costs, is poised for significant growth.

Very few companies ever find a way to build profitable and truly enduring brands. Has your business? In a world where price often dominates the discussion and a sea of options and choices flood the market how do you create and sustain a point of differentiation for your brand in the eyes of prospects? In a world where confusion and suspicion about products and services is ever present how do you drive customer loyalty and retention?

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
