Par L'Atelier de l'Emploi. Pour s'adapter dès aujourd'hui à demain, encore faut-il pouvoir anticiper au mieux ce qu'il adviendra. Mais dans les entreprises, trop peu de postes sont dédiés à la prospective. À tort ?  
Ils n’existent pas encore. Mais pour Himanshu Saxena, Vice Président de Tata Consultancy Services, ils sont les postes-clés du futur. Dans un exercice de prospective publié sur Fast Company, il propose la création de trois (nouveaux) postes visant à apporter une vision dans le temps long à l’entreprise comme à être plus réactif, en particulier aux évolutions introduites par le numérique. Suite...

Par L'Atelier de l'Emploi. Le territoire, bientôt plus un gros mot ? Les réponses d'Émilie Bourdu co-auteure du rapport L'industrie jardinière du territoire. Ou comment les entreprises s'engagent dans le développement des compétences.  
Pourquoi une entreprise devrait-elle aujourd’hui investir, comme vous le suggérez, dans “les ressources humaines de son territoire” ?
Dans un contexte de pénurie de main d’œuvre industrielle, s’ouvrir à son territoire permet de diversifier son “vivier”, via des personnes qui se trouvent dans l’écosystème local notamment les jeunes, les personnes peu qualifiées ou les demandeurs d’emploi. Suite...

Par L'Atelier de l'Emploi. Secteur en crise, la presse peine à se réinventer. Entre journalisme d'hier et de demain, le modèle pérenne se cherche encore. Et si la réponse se trouvait dans une meilleure gestion des ressources humaines ?  
C’est un point de vue assez peu banal, dans une crise pourtant commentée de toutes parts : le problème des médias “traditionnels” n’est pas le manque de talents digitaux, ni même les lacunes des grands groupes en termes d’innovations. Dans le Nieman Journalism Lab d’Harvard, Matt DeRienzo, lui-même journaliste, avance que le principal problème que connaissent les entreprises de presse est… une mauvaise gestion des ressources humaines. Suite...

Par Christina Gierse. La soirée organisée par l’association Agora RH le 15 mai dernier a été l’occasion de faire le point sur la réforme de la nouvelle formation professionnelle. Que va-t-elle changer dans le quotidien des DRH et responsables de formation ? Que va-t-il falloir mettre en place dès cette année ?
« Ce n’est pas qu’une réforme de plus : cette fois, il s’agit d’une vraie réforme » se félicite en préambule Eric Meerschaut, directeur d’Opcalia Ile-de-France, invité par Agora RH en tant qu’intervenant expert lors de cette soirée. Un avis partagé par de nombreux professionnels. Suite de l'article...

A Call for Expressions of Interest has now been issued by the International Association of Universities (IAU) to its Member institutions in several countries in Asia (as listed below) inviting applications to undertake an Internationalization Strategies Advisory Service (ISAS) project with IAU.

• The countries in question are: Bangladesh, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Vietnam

• The Call and application form are available to download here

With financial support provided by the Swedish International Development and Cooperation Agency (Sida), the IAU is in a position to waive the usual ISAS fee (normally €20,000 or more) and thus provide the ISAS programme at practically no cost to the beneficiary institution.
The ISAS programme, which was first developed by IAU in 2010, is designed for all institutions that wish to review, analyze or develop their internationalization strategy and related activities. It is a participatory initiative involving an institution-wide process of self-study accompanied by an external team of experts. It aims to ensure that the internationalization strategy and activities are effective in serving the broader institutional goals.
Should your institution wish to apply for this ISAS, please ensure that the Application Form is completed and returned to IAU no later than 01 July 2014.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Ross Hudson, Coordinator, Internationalization (r.hudson@iau-aiu.net ). For more information on ISAS, please see the IAU webpages on internationalization.
