In this eye-opening, essential guidebook for the new world of work, John Winsor and Jin Paik, leaders at the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard, show how the massive reset of the pandemic allowed talented workers everywhere to exit their jobs without leaving the workforce. Now some are freelancing for multiple companies or starting small businesses, leaving hiring managers scratching their heads over a workforce gone AWOL. What’s more, talent has more power than ever using platforms such as Freelancer.com, Fiverr, and Upwork, setting their own terms for work: what, where, when, and at what price.
How can companies adapt? The key, the authors argue, is shifting to a more "distributed" idea of the organization that revolves around talent (people) and projects, not divisions and offices. In this new model, which the authors call a networked organization, talent is culled from both inside and outside the organization, dispensing with siloed approaches to talent acquisition and instead viewing talent through a single lens: as a global ecosystem that can be tapped as needed.
With rich stories, keen insights, and an abundance of practical advice, Winsor and Paik provide a new framework and operating model for transforming your organization into a talent-orchestrating, problem-solving machine.

Women in the Workforce What Everyone Needs to Know ® [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B0B1KHWP96 | 2022 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:27:00 | 212 MB
Women are joining the workforce in increasing numbers, making inroads as entrepreneurs and leaders, acquiring more education, marrying later, and having fewer children-all trends consistent with spending a far greater fraction of their adult lives in the labor force. And yet, even as women break the glass ceiling and challenge gender and sexual norms, they are told they need to "lean in" and powerful movements like #TimesUP and #MeToo are still necessary to expose and overcome endemic discrimination, exploitation, harassment, and worse.
Women in the Workforce: What Everyone Needs to Know provides an essential and accessible introduction to the significance of women in the economy and the obstacles they face in claiming equal status. Economists Laura M. Argys and Susan L. Averett tackle timely topics like the wage gap, "women’s work," and gendered workplace interactions in an easy-to-understand question and answer format. The book focuses on the choices people make and how these are framed by institutional impediments that create inequalities in the options available to men and women. Argys and Averett highlight how the experience of being a woman in the labor market varies, sometimes dramatically, by race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. They also explore how living in cities, towns, and rural areas influences choices and outcomes.

She then reviews the vital skills required to successfully intervene. Jennifer goes on to review effective methods, phrases, and considerations for you to leverage when you’re faced with an intervention.

Today, we are facing an unprecedented urgency to reinvent talent dynamics. The rapidly converging forces of the pandemic and the rolling waves of activism as a result of the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements have accelerated the need for change. Traditional talent processes served the purposes of the last decade, the last millennium even. But we have reached a point where people practices must become more human-centric, intelligent, more robust in their skills and capability matching, more learning and growth-oriented, more enabling, more rigorous in their transparency and inclusivity and better able to deliver the talent optimization that organizations will need in the coming decade. Organizations who are fair, transparent, inclusive, respectful of their people are the ones who will thrive into the future. In this book, Anne Fulton demonstrates that this is what the Future of Work is all talent agility, empowerment and enablement ― the true emancipation of talent.
