Hire with NetHire
and harness the power of
the INTERNET, SOCIAL MEDIA
and SEARCH ENGINES
NetHire has changed the way progressive forward thinking companies are now hiring. NetHire reaches more current job seekers and passive qualified candidates than any other mode of hiring in Canada by using the viral nature of the internet and its components such as hundreds of job boards, social media, blogs, and search engines.
Most of NetHire's clients to date have come from the big national job boards or the nations largest newspapers because of better quality applicants, more of them and at a lower cost and the fact we hit the passive potential candidate not currently looking, but unhappily employed, that job boards just can’t hit.

Women in Canada:
Paid work
The employment rate for women with children has been steadily on the rise
during the past three decades. In 2009, 72.9% of women with children under the
age of 16 living at home were employed, nearly twice the rate of 39.1% recorded
in 1976.
|
 |
This analysis of paid work among women shows considerable change in their
labour force activity during this period. In general, the employment rate for
women has followed an upward trend since 1976, when it was 41.9%, although women
are still less likely to be employed than men. In 2009, about 8.1 million women
had a paid job in Canada. This represents an employment rate of 58.3% compared
with 65.2% for men.

HR TIPS
The Path to Team Building Success
How to create effective teams, team work, and team building is a challenge in
every organization. Work environments tend to foster rugged individuals working
on personal goals for personal gain. Typically, reward, recognition, and pay
systems single out the achievements of individual employees.Appraisal, performance
management, and goal
setting systems most frequently focus on individual goals and progress, not
on team building. Promotions and additional authority are also bestowed on individuals. Given these factors,
is it any wonder that teams and team work are an uphill battle in most
organizations?
Here is the information you need to develop team work and effective work
teams in your organization. Use this information for team building.

.......................
Payroll, Employment, Earning and Hours
Between September 2009 and September 2010, average weekly earnings of non-farm
payroll employees rose 4.3% to $864.13. This was the second consecutive month
with year-over-year growth over 4.0%.
Some of the weekly earnings growth is attributable to an increase in the
number of hours worked per week between September 2009 and September
of 2010 (+0.9%). The remainder of the increase reflects a number of other
factors, including changes in the composition of employment by industry, changes
in occupations within industry, job experience, as well as wage growth.
The pace of growth in earnings has been increasing in recent months.
September marked the sixth consecutive month in which the year-over-year
increase surpassed 3.0%. In contrast, year-over-year growth was below 2.0% for
most of 2009.
Average weekly earnings increased in most provinces from September 2009 to
September 2010. Growth was above the national average in Newfoundland and
Labrador, Ontario, Alberta and Quebec.

The HR Manager:
An Employee Advocate
As an employee sponsor or advocate, the HR manager
plays an integral role in organizational success via his knowledge about and
advocacy of people. This advocacy includes expertise in how to create a work
environment in which people will choose to be motivated, contributing, and
happy.
Fostering effective methods of goal setting, communication and empowerment
through responsibility, builds employee ownership of the organization. The HR
professional helps establish the organizational culture and climate in which
people have the competency, concern and commitment to serve customers well.
In this role, the HR manager provides employee development opportunities,
employee assistance programs, gain sharing and profit-sharing strategies,
organization development interventions, due process approaches to problem
solving and regularly scheduled communication opportunities.

Slow and steady growth pays off

The Toronto Star
Bob MacDonald knows every employee at Wakefield Canada by name. As CEO of the
five-year-old company since its inception, he says that might be partly why it
was named one of Canada’s Best Employers for 2011 by Aon Hewitt.
But other than his friendly, clued-in self, what MacDonald says allows
Wakefield employees to share that sense of camaraderie is the company’s
relatively small size. “I think what’s being recognized is the culture we have here,” MacDonald
said.

Employment Up in Nov
Employment edged up by 15,000 in
November. At the same time, there was a notable decline in the number of youths
participating in the labour market. As a result, the unemployment rate
fell 0.3 percentage points to 7.6%, the lowest since
Jan.2009. Since November 2009, employment
has risen by 318,000 (+1.9%).
In November, part-time gains were
partly offset by decreases in full time. Over the past year, part-time
employment has grown by 4.0% (+127,000), a faster pace than the 1.4% growth in
full time (+192,000).
November's employment gains in
health care and social assistance; retail and wholesale trade; and accommodation
and food services were mostly offset by declines in manufacturing as well as in
finance, insurance, real estate and leasing.
Ontario was the only province
with a notable employment increase in November. Quebec and Manitoba had
employment declines in the month, while the other provinces showed little
change. While employment for youths
aged 15 to 24 was unchanged, their unemployment levels fell. This pushed the
youth unemployment rate down 1.4 percentage points to 13.6%.
