Career paths are changing. The career ladder has been replaced by something that looks more like a game of basketball. Players move forwards, backwards, laterally, or take time out as demarcations between employees, temps, contractors, casuals and clients blur. The career for life, or having at least one career shift has been replaced by the importance of multi-career paths. We are now in a world where job opportunities and whole sectors are vanishing, where landlines, emails and mobile phones have been replaced with data overload and a plethora of input channels, where work-life balance issues have been replaced by the realization that there are no guarantees. There is now more focus on being flexible and having the capacity for constant reinvention. The conventional system of rewarding strong performance has been overtaken by the idea that the employee or contractor is their own brand and, in effect, running their own business, making sure their brand is on track. Then again, there is nothing new in career…

EUROPE could be forced to pay for a fourth bailout after Moody’s downgraded Cyprus to just above junk status yesterday, alerting markets to the nation’s precarious fiscal position. The agency cited a trio of disasters to hit the €17.4bn economy in the last quarter, including the accidental destruction of the Vasilikos power plant that fulfills around half of the nation’s energy needs. Moody’s said that the accident will tip the economy into stagnation, forecasting 0% growth this year, and will add to an “increasingly fractious domestic political climate” that could derail its deficit reduction plan. THE GERMAN finance minister has warned that he will not bail out every troubled euro zone country in a move that rattled confidence in Europe’s response to the debt crisis. Wolfgang Schaeuble explained that the €159bn Greek bailout was a one off. THE IMF is likely to contribute a smaller share of official financing in the new Greek aid package than it did for the Portuguese and Irish rescue programs.…

THE US is set to lose its top notch triple-A credit rating from at least one leading agency according to 30 out of 53 economists polled by Reuters. The survey result was revealed as talks over saving the government from a self-imposed default remained splintered by acrimonious briefings. Republican House speaker John Boehner’s scheme to raise the debt ceiling was attached by both sides, with President Obama’s aides threatening to veto the short term plan. REGULATORS probing alleged manipulation of interbank lending rates have expanded their investigation into yen rates in London and a separate rate-setting process in Tokyo.

UK BUSINESS leaders, economists, and Mayor Boris Johnson demanded strong measures to boost growth yesterday, after figures revealed that the economy grew by an…

每个人都喜欢并最讨厌的部门就是人力资源部门，并有很好的理由。 模糊性，轻率，和文书工作的墨守成规都是警告标志，你可能在你的组织中有个无用的人力资源队伍。 人力资源部门往往与重复的官僚程序，以及作为管理团队的婢女而联系在一起。然而，一个好的人力资源人员 - 有一些 - 可以是无价的，他们可以显示如何管理经理人的管理技巧，给雇用员工提出建议，建立项目发展劳动力，让员工感到他们是一个团队的一部分。 但是，很多人会说那些人力资源人员都远远做不到这一点。澳大利亚的人力资源问题是，他们似乎把大部分精力放在执行上，这个词有两种意义，而不是向管理人员提供战略咨询。最后，它就像任何职业。有良好的经营者和有无用之人。所以，你怎么知道当你有一个无用的人力资源团队？ 苏珊卢卡斯，在博客被称为人力资源夫人，写下了一些我们应该提防的细节警示标志。 “这里有九面红旗，你们的人力资源经理在做一个可怕的工作。”她写道。 “忽视他们，你就在自己冒险。” 首先是人力资源的人似乎很有信心。他们知道一切，对于这些“小”的不公平解雇和性骚扰问题的东西，不会跑过去征求律师的意见。 其次，他们没有审查简历并不断给您提供不合格的职员候选人。 第三，他们对业务没有了解，当您尝试向他们谈论业务，他们给你茫然的凝视。 她列举了其他问题包括他们依赖管理层，盲目坚持原则，只有在危机时才会采取行动，（如拒绝或忽略了员工加薪申请，直到该员工辞职），对表现不佳员工辞退不了，反而使其成为经理人的问题。她还提醒，不少是因为他们对数字不精通，而不能使用硬数据来评估项目。 一些律师提醒人力资源部门的问题是，他们往往采取阻力最小的路径，因为这意味着他们可以少做工作。 “问自己：如果一个员工对一个敌对的工作环境的抱怨，是更容易改变企业文化或采取对一个造成问题的中层或高层经理的行动容易，还是会更容易摆脱抱怨的员工？“假设人力资源会告诉管理层你的问题，你也应该假设，如果有不好的在你身边的坚实证据，自然，人力资源部门的趋势将是假设问题在于你，而不是公司，因为这使得他们有更少的问题去解决。” 听起来很熟悉？ 人力资源世界通讯报指出了18种人力资源工作人员的坏习惯。其中包括与他们遇到大量的机密信息分不开，没有提供明确的薪金，福利和就业信息，把员工当成敌人，没有在自己的部门使用相同的规则，雇佣亲信，通过电子邮件传递坏消息并雇用错误的人选，因为他们没有什么对工作的具体分析。 其他抱怨是，许多未能跟进员工的请求或投诉，没有执行按劳取酬的系统，没有明确的政策和规则太多，想做仲裁人，而不是让管理者承担责任，直接与员工处理问题。 Leon Gettler The Sydney Morning Herald

IN THE U.S., there were few signs of a consensus emerging as the IMF urged the nation to get past its debt impasse. Republicans will push legislation to cut $1.2 trillion in spending over the next 10 years in exchange for a short term $1 trillion increase in the borrowing limit, with no tax hikes. Democrats hope to trim $2.7 trillion from the deficit over 10 years, but allow the U.S. to keep up debt payments until after the next election. PRIME Minister David Cameron warned yesterday that Britain’s path back to growth "will be a difficult one" ahead of growth figures today that will reveal that Britain’s economy flat lined for most of the year.
