Industry Targets Younger Demographic Financial
planners are beginning to pay closer attention to people in their 20s and
30s, a group that has long received the brushoff
from the financial-services industry because of its lack of wealth. http://accounting.smartpros.com/x57796.xml > Law And Accounting
Firms Look To Attract Next Generation The legal
and accounting professions, dealing with an escalating talent crunch, are
sharpening their focus on Generation Y, or "the millennials,"
born since roughly 1980. About 76 million strong, their swelling percentage
of the workforce as the overall labor market shrinks is fostering changes in
recruiting and retention strategy, as reported by the Atlanta Business
Journal. > New Survey Points to
Productivity Gains When Friends Work Together Gathering
with the gang after work can be fun -- and a new survey suggests it may also
benefit on-the-job performance. Fifty-seven percent of executives
polled said that office productivity improves when coworkers are friends
outside of the office. Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of employees
surveyed agreed. But managers and employees aren't as aligned
when it comes to just how beneficial it is to have buddies on the job:
Twenty-two percent of employees said befriending coworkers has a "very
positive" impact on productivity while only 2 percent of managers felt
as strongly. ____________________________________________________ Sponsored By: Information, Inc.
