[IWS] 2010 STUDY on STATE OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT [online 2 November 2010]
by Eugene McElroy 03 Nov '10

WorldatWork (Total Rewards Association) and Sibson Consulting *2010 Study on the State of Performance Management *[online 2 November 2010] ** A Report by Sibson Consulting and WorldatWork October 2010 http://www.worldatwork.org/waw/adimLink?id=44473 [full-text, 10 pages] Includes numerous GRAPHS & CHARTS.... There has been much written lately concerning the value that performance management brings to an organization; some headlines have even gone so far as to state, “Down with employee reviews; they don’t add value.” Going beyond the headline though, the story consistently emphasizes the importance of setting expectations, measuring results and providing constructive developmental feedback. This report presents the results of the WorldatWork/ Sibson 2010 Study on The State of Performance Management, which indicate mixed reviews concerning the state of performance management. While organizations still consider performance management as a means to achieve business objectives and differentiate high performers from low performers, there seem to be many challenges that impede an organization’s ability to achieve effective performance management. **************************************** Stuart Basefsky Director, IWS News Bureau Institute for Workplace Studies Cornell/ILR School 16 E. 34th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10016 Telephone: (607) 255-2703 Fax: (607) 255-9641 E-mail: smb6(a)cornell.edu **************************************** -- Eugene McElroy Library Associate School of Management and Labor Relations SMLR Library Rutgers University 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, NJ 08901 (732) 932-9513

Job loss by state: An interactive map
by Eugene McElroy 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

The health of the labor market is commonly described in terms of the official unemployment rate, but another key detail, the percentage of jobs lost, underscores how a severe shortage of jobs lies at the root of the current jobs crisis. The *Map* shows the percentage of jobs each state has lost since the start of the recession in December 2007. Although the recession officially ended in June of 2009, all states except Alaska, North Dakota and the District of Columbia continue to see a jobs deficit. http://www.epi.org/economic_snapshots/entry/interactive_map_job_loss_by_sta… -- Eugene McElroy Library Associate School of Management and Labor Relations SMLR Library Rutgers University 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, NJ 08901 (732) 932-9513

New Report: Increase in Retirement Age Disproportionately Hurts Workers at the Bottom
by Eugene McElroy 01 Nov '10

01 Nov '10

As evidenced in a recent statement<http://www.actuary.org/pdf/Fiscal_Commission_Retirement_Age_102510.pdf>from the American Academy of Actuaries, some politicians and policy groups continue to call for an increase in the normal retirement age for Social Security. A new study<http://www.cepr.net/index.php/publications/reports/impact-of-income-distrib…>from the Center for Economic and Policy Research notes that over the last few decades most of the gains from increased life expectancy have gone to those at the top of the income distribution. The report projects that any further increases in the normal retirement age could more than offset potential gains from longer life expectancy in the bottom half of the income distribution. http://www.cepr.net/index.php/press-releases/press-releases/increase-in-ret… -- Eugene McElroy Library Associate School of Management and Labor Relations SMLR Library Rutgers University 50 Labor Center Way New Brunswick, NJ 08901 (732) 932-9513
