Sure, parties are for fun, but they are also great for networking. So why not do both? Check out these party pointers.
It’s too true. While parties are events where people are meant to have fun, they are also primo networking territory. In fact, the winter holiday season, with its open houses, cookie exchanges, ugly sweater contests and company parties, is perhaps the most wonderful networking time of the year.
This does not mean you need to coldly calculate the potential business advantage of
The best workplaces for diversity show higher satisfaction for all employees—and bigger growth, too.
Diversity is an empty word in much of corporate America.
Many companies invest in diversity efforts and appoint chief diversity officers, yet are disappointed with the meager results. Over the last 30 years there has been progress, but most agree the full opportunity has not been realized. READ MORE AT FORTUNE
Three years ago, Daniel Trujillo's company, Tortilleria La Ranchera, was scrambling to meet his customers' demand for tortillas. He already had a 22,000-square-foot warehouse, but he needed more space. "People needed tortillas, and we didn't know where to shelve them," Trujillo says."
When he started La Ranchera in 1994, Trujillo had put together the money himself, but now, the business had grown beyond self-financing. It's the second-largest tortilla maker in Houston, Texas, America's fourth-l
Latinos are three times as likely as the general population to start their own businesses, but cultural and economic factors have hampered the growth of Latino-owned businesses at a cost of trillions of dollars.
A report by the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative (SLEI) found the lost growth amounted to a $1.38 trillion “opportunity gap” in 2012 alone.
Minority business advocates are scrambling to identify the causes and fill the void. Latinos tend to open businesses with “personal moti
By 2019, there will be more Hispanics in Texas than Anglos, according to Pablo Schneider, CEO of the Wider Net.
If you add up all the minorities — Hispanic, African American, Asian — they already make up a larger percentage of the population than white people in Texas, and a handful of other states. Schneider said by 2040 that will be true for the entire nation as the U.S. continues to become more of a multicultural society.
"So what?" said Schneider at the State of Hispanic Business in North T
According to William Almonte team leader needs to follow certain principles when handling the different programs. The team leader needs to be very professional and skillful when teaching the employees the various skills that they have to master to excel in the long run.
In every organization, the workforce plays a crucial role. It is the employees who form the main crux of the institution. To bring about further growth and progress of the organization, these employees need to be trained well so t
People who are unemployed often don’t even bother looking for work in December. They figure it’s pointless because some hiring managers are on vacation and offices are closed.
Big mistake, says Susan P. Joyce, publisher of Job-Hunt.org, who says the total number of jobs filled in December 2014 was greater than the number filled in January 2015. What’s more, Joyce notes, January is the toughest, most competitive and most crowded job market of the year — precisely because so many people stop job
Walker’s Legacy, a professional collective committed to the empowerment of women of color in business and entrepreneurship, recognizes Latina’s Equal Pay Day. This segment of women experiences the widest pay gap and earns significantly less than their White, non-Hispanic female and male counterparts. While nationally women earn 77 cents to every man’s dollar, Latinas earn just 55 cents.
In other words, if the pay gap were eliminated, on average a Latina working full-time, year-round would have
Even as there are signs that the economy is beginning to turn the corner for the better, the Hispanic community is lagging behind.
Hispanics have a higher than the national average unemployment rate and many more are living below the poverty line. Most gut-wrenching, nearly a third of all Latino children are living in poverty. The last eight years have failed to do much to ameliorate this situation despite well-intentioned government policies.

Managers of an organization are peoples who train and monitor new recruits. Not only new hires they also monitor and supervise their subordinate employees. Startup companies or small businesses don't have different managers to train new hires. At MNCs or at large scale business enterprises employ a separate training and development managers to train new recruits.

The end of the year might seem like a terrible time to look for a new job. Half the time, it seems like everyone’s on vacation, and the other half the time, they’re dealing with year-end reviews.
December is anything but business as usual, but for that reason, it might actually be the perfect time to job search. Last year, Business Insider reported on an Adecco Survey in which 94 percent of hiring managers urged job seekers to keep looking during the holiday season.

Comcast Corporation is adding two more Hispanic cable networks to its distribution list starting in January of 2017. In making the announcement today, Comcast said it evaluated dozens of proposals before choosing Primo TV and Kids Central, because they will provide “quality family programming targeted to bicultural Hispanic youth.”
Kids Central is aimed at kids ages 3 to 7, while Primo TV is designed to appeal to 6 to 16 year-old viewers. Both networks will be in English. Kids Central will also

There is a big reason why marketers have spent the last five years obsessed with Millennials — the numbers. Millennials total 75.4 million and have overtaken Baby Boomers as America’s largest generation. The business community is also starting to pay attention to the next generation, Gen Z. This group of people under the age of 20 is already almost as large as Millennials. Millennials and Gen Z combine to make up more than 50% of the entire U.S. population. The future is now.
