Work smarter, not harder

Filed under: Current Events — Heather McCormack @ 4:57 pm

Good old Scrooge McDuck’s words ring true in the face of a recent survery of 950 employers by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. What it revealed is that most employers plan to keep raises at 3.7 percent in 2007, a depressing and demoralizing figure given the 4.7 percent projected Consumer Price Index for this year. What to do? Cunning corporate stiffs are looking to make themselves more valuable by acquiring “in-demand skills” and then putting them to good use. This strategy seems a sound one to the Mercer survey—IT employers in particular offer cash awards in place of raises for high performance. Librarians shouldn’t be surprised, then, if they notice an uptick in circulation among career and computer books. Check out the beta version of our Collection Development tool for help in building a quick-and-dirty display. And don’t forget Rachel Singer Gordon’s always-to-the-point computer book reviews, which will migrate online in October.
