What is it that the people want? EMPLOYMENT! Ask Donald Trump & Gov. John Kasich...

What is it that the people want?
EMPLOYMENT!
Ask Donald Trump & Gov. John  Kasich...

Everyone wants to work!  That is the majority with a small amount of miscreants who want it all without lifting a finger.  Those, believe they are owed a living and will never change, unless we can prove they are all total wasters!

Connecting all parties has never really been perfected until NOW!

Employers has standards and qualifications and unless you let the world know what those are, you will never succeed in employing the right people to serve the demanded ongoing requirements.

It is about community, 'on your own doorstep' so to speak.  Having a collective community who have been educated to the necessary levels and right in the heart of the community is what is demanded.

People like to plan and know their future and that is where education, schooling if you like, with a local career in mind, makes all the difference.

If you have an education system that can identify the career paths of local students and have the correct course, degree programs with the knowledge of the growth plans of local business, you have a far better opportunity  for success for both employer and potential employee.

It is all about flexibility of services.  Talking about, discussing 'til you're 'blue in the face' does not cut it!

Politicians do not have the solutions, private enterprise does!  A university, college or training school are a private enterprise, they are a business with excellent capabilities once they understand the Corporate Key Battlefields of those corporations that surround them.  They are a service industry with immense abilities and will work hand in hand.

CommSmart Global with our worldwide partners already have a working and proven solution regarding employment for all with additional capabilities to be re-educated and trained for the wants and needs of the community corporations.

We already have the solution in the nation of the Netherlands and their unemployment system.  Our ZoooMeee solution is proven in both reducing the welfare rolls and accelerating the internal HR management success.

It directly connects the employer to the job seeker, which is a reversal of fortune for all concerned.  Knowing the competencies and passion of those who wish to work for you and your existing employees is crucial to success, we know that and have proved it over and over again.

It has to start with skill sets.  We all fully understand that there are Hard Skill Sets that are a absolutely demanded.

What about the Soft Skill Sets?  

These are more important that you give your HR department credit for.  Letting HR management be allowed to sit at the managerial table will be you additional key to success.  Planning with absolute knowledge is smart, just like the 'Smart Bios' of your potential and existing employees.  

It is not just about a job and a paycheck, although, both are important.  It is about a workforce who enjoys their daily attendance and understands the company's projected plans.  It is about working within their community with success.


Last night both Trump and Kasich embraced the need for better employment.

John Kasich stated in last night's Fox Debate the following:

"I’m the only person on this stage who actually was the chief architect of balancing the federal budget. It’s not a theory for me. It’s not — it’s not some — you have to know how to put everything together. And you know, I spent 10 years of my life to get there, and I did not do that because I’m worshiping at some balanced budget shrine.

The reason I did it is when you have commonsense regulations, lower taxes on individuals and businesses, and you have a fiscal plan that makes sense, the job creators will expand employment. And what happened? When I was there, the jobs were exploding. Bill Clinton’s tried to take credit for it. When I went to Ohio, we’re up 400,000 jobs. It’s the same formula.

But it isn’t easy. I fought the entire Washington establishment and won, because when you balance a budget, you must affect every single thing. Everything in the federal government specifically. You cannot get there with theories or broad statements, and you have to be willing to take the heat. In fact, I fought a Republican president, who I thought was not offering constructive proposals to fix this economy.

So when we talk about all this, there’s one person on this stage and one person who’s been a candidate for president in either party that restored economic strength, growth, a balanced budget, paid down debt, cut taxes, the things that people in this country want. No theories. Reality."

"See, there’s people in this country — and Ted’s right — their wages haven’t gone up for so long, they see the rich get richer, they believe, and they’re not moving. And they put their money in the bank, and they got no interest on their money. They receive none. And their sons or daughters are living in the basement because they can’t get a good job after they rang up so much college debt.

What people are hungry for is, who can fix this? People want to know who — what can you do to solve the problems in Washington, to make sure that we have stronger job growth and better wages? But you know what else they’re yearning for? They want to believe that they have the power to fix things where they live, and they want the power back, so they can begin to do things in their community.


Now, listen, this has been going on for a long time here. And I appreciate the discussion back and forth. But there are a lot of people out there yearning for somebody who’s going to bring America back, both at the leadership level and in the neighborhood, where we can begin to reignite the spirit of the United States of America. And let’s stop fighting."

Talk to those that have the successful, proven employment solution.

WE ARE IN THE NOW AND KEEP YOU; IN THE KNOW...

UP for the Job?


UP for the Job?

WE ALL GOT IT WRONG, BUT IT IS FAR FROM TOO LATE FOR 
THE SO-CALLED FORMIDABLE FIX

EDUCATION – EMPLOYMENT - EVOLVE

jump starting all our futures

It is all about our environment or surroundings, as we progress in life the decisions we have to make become more and more difficult.  In many cases the preparation is lacking as parenting has radically changed or totally disappeared altogether, effecting how our young choose their future. Today’s employment and career issues are missing or misunderstood by those that have to hire, the corporations.  It has been a never ending complaint that those in the local community are not totally qualified for the posted and needed vacancies and those with the vacancies have to search further afield to fill the positions, which may only be a stopgap for the applicant.

the elements

Believe it or not, the elements have not changed.  Jobs will always be there and somewhere, the right potential employees are available.  The areas of concern are Location, Education, Opportunity and using your internal Human Resource Factors which are under used or ignored.

the reality of evolving

Technology is central, so they say.  It is!  That is when you understand the ramifications.
There must be a full understanding of the inner workings of a corporation, from the top down and understanding the implications of failure to not involve all in the vision and future.  Your Talent Capital surrounds you, you just don’t know it yet.
Your company or corporation was created by either a single individual or a tight group, their ‘real’ knowledge was limited or just a ‘guesstimate’ of what the future could bring with their ingenuity and innovation.  You hired people you knew, there was no HR department in the corner of the garage or basement, it was just YOU!

Google Asks All Of You To Make The Internet Safer - Really!

Google Asks All Of You 
To Make The Internet Safer
By Nick Ashton, CEO/CTo CommSmart Global Group of Companies.

Ask all they will, Google has the capability to enact themselves. Wanting to improve education is one thing, instilling learning principles is another!
Society has been dumbed down, so others can profit from their stupidity.

There has to be a wanting to learn, to be educated and become far better in their daily lives. Will it happen? No, just look at how we are educating our children or in fact not educating our children.

So, Google, whose court is the ball in?

The search giant has just posted a "Security Advice Survey" online, asking IT security experts for their best tips and tricks about how to stay safe on the Internet—from not clicking on links in emails to not downloading files from sites that might be dangerous.

I totally agree that the public needs assistance in being involved in the use of the Internet, after all, we are all connected.  Just like the days of the first automobile, someone walked in front, waving a red flag as a warning.

Too late!  Socially the society of today believes “others” should have that responsibility.  After all, it is an “entitlement society”.  People want it all now and on a silver platter.  They do not want to lift a finger in their own protection.

"At Google, we're constantly trying to improve security for our users," wrote Rob Reeder of the company's user experience research team, in a March 26 post on the Google Online Security Blog. "Besides the many technical security features we build, our efforts include educating users with advice about what they can do to stay safe online. Our Safety Center is a great example of this. But we're always trying to do better and have been looking for ways to improve how we provide security advice to users.

People do not listen, they switch on the computer, just like their car, revving up and speeding into want is on their mind to go do.  They do not notice that there are some facts we must check before we open ourselves to a world of harm waiting to happen.  When it does, they scream, cry and ask why someone else did not protect them.

Common sense, logic and downright sensibility is all that is required.  Oh, I forgot, that has been removed for general public’s capabilities.

Transparency of security is penultimate in how we secure it for those others that will fend for themselves.  That is why we introduced Trusted Remedy, the secure, anonymous corporate security, for end to end data in motion for all devices.  No matter what, BYOD, (Bring Your Own Device), machine to machine and general exchanging of information between computers.

That is not all we do, we care, are passionate about the protection of information and stopping the Hackers, Phishers and Man in the Middle Brutal Attackers.  No one should stand by and watch others being harassed by these cyber-terrorists who prey on stupidity.  The hacker throws enough mud against the wall, hoping some will stick.  The mud that sticks are to the gullible who have left the door wide open for the miscreants to steal directly from them that private information and financial data.  Then the problems begin and the crying and whining of “why me” is heard annoyingly loud and clear.

Simple, you started on page 43 of the manual of life and computers.  Start thinking for yourselves and imagine that no one in the world cares about you or your problems.  You are on your own!

Not really true, as both we and Google do care, it is just that Google is reaching to others and not recognizing they have the power to make change from within.  In fact, far faster that having surveys.

Why not Google “security of my computer” this weekend and work on improving your connections.  
Please, you are connected to me!

WE are in the NOW and
KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…

You Have an Extra Day To Get It Right!

You Have an Extra Day To Get It Right!
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

This is your day to get it right!  Or, continue in the same old form, completely screwing us all...

Being politically correct, thinking you know it all and looking down on everyone, is not hacking it any more!

C-Level executives are just employees as everyone else and many need terminating immediately!

Your lack of business understanding and aloof feelings of 'you have made it' and screwing everyone else are over...

There are hundreds of thousands worldwide who need the pink slip today.  

Yes, make them LEAP back into the 'Real World'.

Like music cover bands in a club, there are thousands of them, all sounding the same and have no chance for success for themselves and the companies who put faith in them.

Linkedin, those that post, copy other people's posts and never read anyone elses posts, your days are done!  Admit it, you have never had a single original idea in your life...

Attracting new employees through your own means or using pathetic recruiters who are duping thousands with lies and Bovine Slurry about the job market and their potential.  

Throwing mud against the wall and hoping it sticks. They are playing a numbers game just like the Phishers and Hackers who bombard sad and desperate people.

Just like Weight Watchers, way behind the times in shaming people to attempt to lose weight.  There are apps for that in the privacy of your own home or office!

Even Oprah Winfrey lost over $30 million last week with the stock loss and her ability to reinvigorate an old fashion industry of shamers.

Group therapy does not work for the majority, reminds me of the supposed rehab clinics who are milking families of money once the insurance runs out.

Times have changed and many belong to outdated clubs and societies of eliteness.

It is about CHANGE...

Stop bringing outdated cybercrime solutions that you have used over the years that are irrelevant and dangerous.  Face the facts, most IT Departments are way behind the times and costing the shareholders and customers billions.

The Job market is yet another example of failure and especially those companies that suggest they are the answer.
  • Monster.com
  • Indeed.com
  • + recruiters who are playing games with people's minds and lives.
They too can take a LEAP!

Folks, let the jobs find you, stop rewriting your resume to fit the vacancy.  Let the world know of your competencies and passions, Hard and Soft Skills, these are the basis of a company.

So, what are you waiting for, you some decisions to make...

WE ARE IN THE NOW AND KEEP YOU; IN THE KNOW...

Adding Computer & Cyber Crime Security To the Next Board Meeting Is Too Late!


Adding Computer Cyber Crime Security  
To the Next Board Meeting Is Too late!
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

Talk is cheap and tabling the potential collapse of your corporation is nonsense! 

Do CEO’s, COO’s, CFO’s and Board Members know what goes on in a company?  Do they understand the departments and the inter-connectivity?

It does not seem so from the actions of the largest companies in the world!  Being a LEADER, means just that!  LEADERSHIP!

Cyber security is of the utmost importance.  Europe held an exercise on how to protect us from Cyber crime

Their first mistake was to advertise it!

The exercise, was called Cyber Europe 2014, was the largest and most complex ever enacted, involving 200 organizations and 400 cybersecurity professionals from both the European Union and beyond.

It was questioned whether the law enforcement agencies taking part in the drill should be involved in safeguarding online security, in the wake of American whistleblower Edward Snowden's revelations of online spying by western governments.

"The main concern is national governments' reluctance to cooperate," said Professor Bart Preneel, an information security expert from the Catholic University of Leuven, in Belgium.

"You can carry out all of the exercises you want, but cybersecurity really comes down to your ability to monitor, and for that, national agencies need to speak to each other all the time," Preneel said.

The Crete-based office coordinating the EU's cybersecurity, the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA), calls itself a "body of expertise" and cannot force national agencies to share information.

As with most aspects of policing and national security, the EU's 28 members have traditionally been reluctant to hand over powers to a central organization, even when -- as in the case of online attacks -- national borders are almost irrelevant.

Sorry, it was doomed from the outset!

You must protect yourselves and that means being ahead of the curve, not in a reactive mode all the time.  IT Departments and leadership is understaffed, underfunded and misunderstood by corporate leadership.  Also so far behind in their knowledge as they no time for catch-up on issues and solutions of today, tomorrow and in the future.

Just like street fighting and attacking terrorist insurgency, it is hand to hand combat and having to be right all the time.  Yes, 100% right is the mantra, as the cyber-terrorists only have to be right once, to wreck your world!

The Bangkok Post stated, “Cyberattacks occur when the computer information systems of individuals, organizations or infrastructure are targeted, whether by criminals, terrorists or even states with an interest in disrupting computer networks.

The EU estimates that over recent years there has been an increase in the frequency and magnitude of cybercrime and that the attacks go beyond national borders, while the smaller-scale spreading of software viruses is also an increasingly complex problem.

The EU's vulnerability has been highlighted over recent years by a number of high-profile cyberattacks, including one against Finland's foreign ministry in 2013 and a network disruption of the European Parliament and the European Commission in 2011.

And with Europe's supply of gas from Russia focusing attention on energy security, the highly computerized "smart" energy grids which transport and manage energy in the EU are also seen as vulnerable.

Yet the view from Brussels is that the member states' reluctance to work together on cyber security amounts to "recklessness", with one EU source saying national governments were "happy to put their citizens and economy at risk rather than coordinate across the EU."

What most experts agree on is that European companies and consumers are vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, and that can have an impact on people's willingness to use online services.

James Wootton, from British online security firm IRM, said the ENISA exercises are a step in the right direction, but are not enough.

"The problem is nation states wanting to fight cybercrime individually, even when cybercrime does not attack at that level," Wootton says, arguing that national law enforcement agencies often lack the required resources.
"So it is good to look at this at the European level, but what power does ENISA have? What can they force countries to do?"

Eurostat figures show that, by January 2012, only 26 percent of EU enterprises had a formally defined information technology security plan in place.

One industry insider said the view in Brussels is that EU cybersecurity was "like teenage sex: everyone says they are doing it but not that many actually are."

Really!

So are you carrying a computer condom in your pocket?  I doubt it and this is not just a European issue, it is worldwide.

Why Medical Facilities Must Revamp the Human Resources Departments



Why Medical Facilities Must Revamp 
the Human Resources Departments
Most treat HR as the wicked stepchild, it is an information goldmine!
by Nick Ashton, CEO/CTO, CommSmart Global Group of Companies

Conversation after conversation, opinion after opinion and written ‘Blah’ keep HR locked away and ill-informed in most cases.  Of course there are some that shine, sadly very few!

Since the HR inception in the Industrial Revolution they do the same thing day in and day out.  Hire, fire and deal with staff issues, normally connected to health insurance questions.

Medical facilities, such as hospitals, special services etc. requires an internal HR department and completely move away from outsourced recruitment services.  It is knowing the hires passion, competencies and sub-conscious that is vital and has been exposed over the last two years to all of our detriment.

The HR department must stop being viewed as the ‘Redheaded Stepchild’.  Sure, it is not profit center in C-Level or the Board’s eyes.  Wrong!  It is the vehicle to propel you forward to meet your Key Issues.  Your growth with the right employees, the molding of existing individuals with education and training.

Resumes and to-date education are not the means to hiring in today’s social anti-social world.  Most resumes are written for the specific job.  You do not know the soft skills of the candidate.  Hard skills can be trained, soft skills are the inner working of an individual.  Many are rejected without you even knowing their ‘real capabilities’.
As I was informed the other day, software and algorithms will not solve the issue on their own.  Correct, if it was a ‘run-of-the mill’ program, typically written by a software house with no knowledge whatsoever of the subject matter or never asked the right people, the right questions in the first place, then that would be true.

ZoooMeee E.R. © is totally different and is not a toy from the 1980’s or some indigenous Australian musical instrument!  It is a solution that goes far deeper than HR has ever gone before.  Simple, logical, a vast improvement on what is in place worldwide today within medical facilities.

Call it what you want, it is not the name that does anything, it is the application and the proven solution!  As we speak, it is in use in Europe and runs a nation’s unemployment programs successfully.  Reducing the welfare rolls and putting people successfully back to work.

It has changed corporations in understanding what they have been missing all these years, with companies who are matched with applicants with their passions and competencies for the vacancy. 

They are telling us it is a Millennial Revolution and they are making up over 38% of the workforce.  With their solid social media skills they know what they want and certainly think outside of the conventional HR box.

That is why the standard issue resume is not for them, they socially and business wise live and breathe the Internet of Things.  It is more about their softer skill set, though still understanding that hard skills are important. 

The stats show they would rather work for a smaller company of around 100 employees.

Searching for jobs is an everyday occurrence for them, it has proven that the old ways just does not work for them!  These are different people with skill sets to match and it is the employer that must search for them. 

ZoooMeee E.R. is an evolution and has turned job seeking upside down. 

You, the employer find the candidates for your vacancies with ZoooMeee E.R. sending their ‘Smart Bio’ details directly to you, in an exceedingly easy format.

By 2020, Millennials in the workforce will have grown to 46%.  Having a far better understanding of this generation evolution of workers will assist you to enhance the attraction of the best and brightest amongst them.

With employment prospects shaky, Millennials are not feeling comfortable in searching for full-time employment with the same job tools that have been around for a long time: job boards (like Indeed or Monster), prospective company's websites, recruitment events, and college career services.

Sure ‘word of ‘mouth’ still works, sadly it has shrunk and the ‘who you know’ factor is less and less.  The change is in!  That is the operative word, CHANGE!

It is not just the availabilities of vacancies and how companies are searching for employees with archaic means, it the ability allow HR to have the ‘real knowledge’ of the growth and future of the corporation, the goals and aspirations.  This enables the inner change that is necessary to occur.

Human-capital/talent issues are top-of-mind for CEOs around the global — but their regard for the HR function remains hazardously truncated: CEOs feel that HR isn’t ready for the task ahead. When asked how well prepared the major functions in their business were to capitalize on transformational trends, only 34% felt that HR was well-prepared and 9% said it was not prepared at all.

In a Harvard report it states, that sadly, chief executives aren’t the only ones with this negative perception. It’s pervasive in organizations — and to make matters worse, HR practitioners have inadvertently played into it. In its “State of Human Capital/Talent” that people in HR still largely have “a support-function mindset, a low tolerance for risk, and a limited sense of strategic ‘authorship’” — all of which has led to “low status among executive peers, no budget for innovation, and a ‘zero-defects’ mentality.”

I must admit, that many HR managers would take exception to those findings, they do, overwhelmingly, want more of a strategic voice than they have now. Look at any HR discussion forum, and you’ll find some version of this question: How can HR get a “seat at the table” and become a strategic business partner?

Simple, let the C-Level and Board understand that without change, the corporation or force will not move forward with the interests and demands of shareholders, the citizenry in mind.

It is about CHANGE!

Our employee, employer and H.R. solution prepares all for the key battlefields ahead.
It is time to view potential employees, job descriptions and the future strategic motivation and labor trends of the corporation from a solid H.R. perspective.

First let’s look at talent acquisition. It’s critical to bring in the right people to drive the business forward. The thing is, the labor markets and relevant skills vary widely from function to function. Smart recruiting requires an intimate understanding of the work to be done and the hard and soft skill sets desired, as well as the function’s business plan (to forecast that demand). That’s the specialized insight required to develop the right sourcing and recruiting strategy. HR often centralizes talent acquisition in order to minimize costs, and that’s absolutely short-sighted. Saving a few hundred dollars per hire may seem like a quick win, but a bad hire can cost more than $50,000.

With medical facilities, just like law enforcement, you cannot afford to make mistakes!  It has the ability for you to know your employee from top to bottom, their skill sets and the necessary improvements, socially and educational that are demanded to keep them on track and both you and employee from harm’s way.

For its part, learning and development should enhance employees’ ability to further the company’s mission, mold future leaders, and build strong teams. But companies aren’t seeing it as the strategic opportunity it is — and that’s because of its placement in HR.

It is the passion and competencies of the prospective employee.  That is why ZoooMeee E.R., using a ‘no resume’ approach is successfully.  The applicant answers some fifty-two questions, simple ‘like’ or dislike’ answers and our over 1,500 algorithms do the rest.  No it is not a robotic process, the application is simple and straightforward for HR to understand in seconds, no long pages of a resume that was specially written with the job in mind by the applicant.

ZoooMeee E.R. looks at all the applicants ‘Smart Bios’ and select them for your open vacancy, sending the top candidates which you then decide on who you will interview.

For the applicant it goes even further with additional information on how they can improve their skills with education course and training to better suit their employment desires. 
 
This continues with your corporation as now, you are using ZoooMeee E.R. H.R. and each employee takes the same Q/A.  You will find that in many cases existing employees match your wants and needs of new hires for other departments.  It is your own talent pool that find the growth of the company and even assist you and for them to understand that further education, matching the vacant jobs are available.

By reorganizing HR activities along the lines of the ZoooMeee E.R. model, companies can free their cost-focused services to provide excellent support without having to grapple with illusions of strategic grandeur. And they can empower the truly strategic services — talent acquisition and learning and development — to create value without having to view every decision through a cost-cutting lens. At the moment, business leaders are searching for a strategic partner to help them navigate the critical human-capital/talent issues that will make or break their companies.


Medical Facilities Get ZoooMeeefied!
