A Promising International Career Move Didn’t Start as I Expected, Now What?

By Rafael Durand

"Often, when asked to define what made them successful, seasoned leaders mostly describe a list of upward career moves, achievements, and feats, as if reciting their resumes out loud. They seldom mention the gaps between what their companies promised to motivate them to accept new career challenges, and the role they ended up performing."

Four Lessons 2020 Has Taught Us About Organizational Culture

"As many of us moved to working remotely 100% of the time and managers adjusted their style to lead in a different environment, our changed circumstances have taught us many lessons about organizational culture and maintaining an engaged workforce. Below are four lessons I've learned that I encourage all organizations to take forward into 2021."

The 2021 Workplace Learning Trends Report

"The future of work many of us have been talking about is no longer an eventuality — it's our current reality. Around the world and across industries, organizations are rethinking what work looks like in fundamental ways. And it's on all of us — from senior executives to individual contributors — to provide meaningful solutions to navigate the days, months, and even years ahead."

"Over the past few months, COVID-19 has changed almost every aspect of business.

Survey Report: What 2020 has taught us about culture

"2020 has been a year like no other — a divisive election year, civil unrest, and, of course, a global pandemic. With unease at home and at work, and with much of the workplace shifting to a “work from home” model in the face of COVID-19, CHG Healthcare surveyed more than 800 U.S. workers to see how this has impacted employees’ experience at work and what we can expect for the future."

Recruiting, hiring are HR's top concerns for 2021

"While optimism is rising due to the success of vaccine trials, workforce planning has become more challenging than ever, as companies undertook layoffs or furloughs, or reassigned people depending on which lines of business were better suited for survival."
