| Strategic Workforce Planning in Global Organizations |
|
Many organizations struggle to determine exactly how to deploy strategic workforce planning (SWP) globally. Not only must SWP address different business and workforce challenges from one country to the next, but it often takes a few years to determine which aspects of SWP should be conducted at the country or business-unit level and which should be led at the enterprise level.
The answer may not be the same for every company. This report describes how SWP adds value by helping global companies make better business decisions. It details what it takes for companies to advance from a fledgling effort to a more robust version of SWP. Included are observations about the impacts of the recent recession on SWP.

| I Can’t Get No...Job Satisfaction, That Is: America’s Unhappy Workers |
|
Americans of all ages and income brackets continue to grow increasingly unhappy at work.
This long-term trend should be a red flag to employers, according to this new report from The Conference Board.
A recent survey conducted for The Conference Board found that only 45 percent of Americans say they are satisfied with their jobs, which is a marked drop from the more than 61 percent who said they were satisfied in 1987, the first year the survey was conducted. While some may wish to blame the most recent survey’s low satisfaction numbers on the current economic downturn, such an easy answer would be inaccurate.
An analysis of the job satisfaction data produced by The Conference Board finds that, unlike the economy, this increasing worker unhappiness is not cyclical. This report examines how, through both the economic booms and busts of the past two decades, job satisfaction numbers have shown a consistent downward trend.

| Protecting Critical Infrastructure: A Cross-Border Action Plan |
|
Much of the critical infrastructure on which the citizens of the United States and Canada depend—transportation, energy, and communications systems, among others—exists on both sides of the border. A failure on one side of the border would have a direct effect on the other side This report focuses solely on the relationship between the critical infrastructure systems of the United States and Canada along their shared border, and the involvement of their respective public and private sectors, although the discussion of cross-border collaboration between countries could be useful for other continents.
Authored by The Conference Board of Canada, it proposes a broad Canada-U.S. framework that would link regional initiatives to national programs and resources, capitalize on current projects and existing leadership groups, and strengthen the ability of both countries to protect the infrastructure on which they both rely.
