Apparently, we may be seeing something here.

After Twitter’s stock plummeted in October, CEO Jack Dorsey announced that he would give a third of his stock award —worth about $200 million — to employees. Plum Creek Timber Co. CEO Rick Holley also gave back his $2 million bonus in 2014. I also wrote a while back about a college president who would donate his yearly bonus to the colleges scholarship fund.

by Anwar Brooks, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Employee Relations Manager
March 9th @ 2:00 p.m. ET

 

Hiring top performers is vital to driving a business forward and every talent acquisition professional is passionate about finding those top hires and bringing them onboard. Metrics play a huge part in how we quantify success but measuring quality of hire can be elusive.

In this webinar we’ll take a look at some key issues around measuring quality of hire, dispel some myths around the metrics that we commonly use, and focus on how to create quality of hire metrics that are more relevant to the business.

We’ll cover the reasons behind turn-over and how to identify what’s causing turn over at your company and the speaker will offer some practical tips for pre- and post-hire strategies to improve quality of hire that you can put into effect today.

All businesses need reliable workforce management, accurate forecasting, and rapid fulfillment of critical staffing needs. HR’s responsibility is to ensure that staffing aligns with the business strategy and goals.

In particular, we’ll focus on:
