2011, and the best is yet to come

To achieve extraordinary results, and a positive attitude and winning, you must be a protagonist and make the best decisions. As in chess, one is perfected, learn and grow facing the most knowledgeable, who is not necessarily the biggest, or who has better luck, but the best ...

The best moves are those that after considerable playing time, accurately and intelligently, know how to wait their moment of opportunity for success.

Fortunately, the countries are giving positive signals about the universe related to Human Resources as slow awakening from a slumber that, despite the difficulties, begins to appear so strong and steadily.

2010 was a time of economic struggle in which, albeit cautiously has signaled auspicious and beneficial in terms of new employment alternatives and implementation of tools Human Capital Management, you must have a long way of development.

Until last year many companies still had either frozen or canceled, the budgets allocated to the Human Resources sector, thus relegating growth opportunities and organizational development structures, which always go hand in hand with people who ultimately make things happen or not.

In relation to this year, the trend has been consolidating more strongly after the second half with a cautious energy put into play, but its intensity does not decline with projects for the coming year.

In terms of employment, in the specific search pages print media noticed slight but steady growth over previous years Sunday editions that, in turn, we do not have the dimensions back to the times of full employment in all countries, thanks to modernity and technology has given way to electronic recruitment through the various options offered on the web means that now flood the market alternatives and opportunities.

With regard to developments in training, companies have begun planning their careers again motivating employees and inserting them in different learning programs, either by facilitating their entry to universities, as well as designing and organizing their own programs.

These past months have been characterized by a specific activation in the administration of training programs. Looking to next year, even with an encouraging trend and quickly set in motion some activities that were sleepy in the rest of the semester, are showing clear messages to employees of the level of professionalism that will come next year.

Increasingly, the concept of "Ownership" (take care of our own development beyond what the company does formally) takes center stage, accompanying the demand and supply in the labor market where skilled resources ever more scarce, and indeed missing in certain areas. And who understand, and anticipate the conditions, will no doubt be planning a great chess move that does not necessarily lead to checkmate but it will give clear advantages with their opponents circumstantial.

Compensation schemes are also getting in tune on the same line. Increased employability determined that high potential, unlike other times, begin to rotate by companies in search of better opportunities commensurate with their abilities and aspirations, so as to cause disturbances and changes in benefit schemes aimed to retain the best talents in pursuit of the high investment required companies to generate replacement frames.

Well look at practices Hunting (hunting) applied to positions of high labor demand and hard to cover that previously only applied to top level position. This particular situation is causing significant distortions in the wage structures of firms and an even bigger headache for those who do not even have them.

In terms of working environment, thankfully the growing labor restabilization, the sectors are increasingly permeable to overturn a more critical and expectant in relation to "how people feel" within the working groups to implement implement alternative means to ensure stability within staff teams and away the specter of "rotation" or dismissal hidden costs both in terms of selection processes, decreased efficiency curves, during the time of adaptation and learning, causes and costs of integration to the companies.

The year-end festivities are expected with more spirit in organizations, since the prognosis and tends to trend slightly higher, trying to provide encouraging messages that were not present in recent periods. Although some companies deserve clear, product of irritation and serious questions wage claims, which have been reconsideration.

A fact of life that puts in a state of extreme alertness and attention is the issue related to the figures and causes that may trigger threatening inflation levels that, given the joint negotiations and wage claims are to be performed during 2011, generating important strategic challenges that need to anticipate and envision the moves necessary that we now know will occur or yes, to make good decisions.

Finally, returning to the metaphor of chess, we are on track to beat the opponent - in this case an enemy-configured by double-digit unemployment still prevailing in countries with low tendency to be reduced to single digits, with innovative moves, production and strategy to ensure economic alternatives with a deep look to people who are ultimately the capital base of any organization, just so they can aspire to achieve extraordinary results.

That 2011 be a year of much prominence and excellence!

It is our greatest desire that can be known and want to achieve the highest aspirations in every way.

The good news is coming ...
