The Unemployed Find Jobs Quicker and Easier With Careers AF!

September 6, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

M. Michelle Nadon officially launches the 2nd Edition of her successful book, Careers AF!

Exclusive, high-profile career coach M. Michelle Nadon has officially launched the 2nd Edition of her successful book, Careers AF! Having sold thousands of copies of the first edition, with an average review of 4.9/5 on Amazon, the 2nd Edition — New rules, new tools for the post-pandemic gig economy — is projected to be a best seller.

Careers AF! author Michelle Nadon recently discussed her motivation behind writing the 2nd Edition. “The pandemic has forced employers to overhaul every aspect of hiring their policies and procedures for flexible work. In fact, 62% of employers are using AI on the front end of their hiring process. My book helps arm job seekers with a greater understanding of the many post-pandemic changes to the labour market, and how to navigate them successfully.”

Written in relaxed, everyday language that appeals to millennials and boomers alike, reading Careers AF! gives the reader the feeling of sitting down with a smart friend who has decades of experience as a recruiter and job coach, yet is totally in tune with 21st-century job realities. The book not only offers practical tips and deep insights on achieving career goals and job success but also warns against potential pitfalls one must avoid on the road to success.

The book is valuable for freelancers as well, Nadon explains: “There has been a shift in recent years, of people moving from staff jobs to freelance positions and entrepreneurship in the gig economy. Careers AF! 2nd Edition also covers best practices on how to build and run your own small business – from business concept, to brand establishment, to launch and marketability.”

Published by Friesen Press, the book is now available for purchase on Amazon and has already received glowing recommendations. Alisyn Camerota, CNN Anchor, called it “an inspired and inspiring look at careers designed to help job seekers chart a path in the new normal.”

ClearSight Announces Release of New Job Platform Based on Cryptocurrency

August 12, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Cryptocurrency pioneers have goal to release entire employment solution platform in Q1 2022

ClearSight has announced the launch of its new blockchain platform for the freelance sector. ClearSight is a global freelance platform offering freelance employment solutions based on the utilization of legitimate, reliable, de-centralized technology.

Blockchain and smart contracts form the basis of the interactive platform. The new rollout is designed to help employers identify and hire freelance professionals who fit available job requirements and vice versa. The ClearSight ecosystem is backed up with a BSC-based token, allowing an ideal user experience among its members.

There will be a wallet registered as the referenced address. The address will be connected to a unique gig and freelancers will also be able to verify an employer review that shows reliability, solvency, how the employer treats workers and whether payment amounts are as expected. Every profile will be verified and identified by blockchain, eliminating hacking, fraud or theft.

“At ClearSight we are committed to reducing these fees with blockchain technology to create a better future for freelancers. Our user-friendly platform allows gig workers to easily access their money using a Visa Debit Card,’ said a spokesperson for ClearSight. “Freelancers are given a portal and a digital identity, with which they can manage their professional profiles. The dedicated and secure system protects people from theft and fraud. With over 21 billion exchangeable tokens, ClearSight offers relatively lower transaction costs that are extremely safe and fast.”

The freelance sector works in almost every industry, attracting a remote workforce. Freelancers use their own mobile IT devices and services. Yet, when these freelancers are to be paid, delivery of payment solutions, identity and high transaction fees give freelancers pause as to how much they really receive per hour compared to what they originally expected.

ClearSight is dedicated to helping freelancers because it understands how freelancers have been tormented by freelance gig websites taking an unfair, huge commission fee or percentage of their income. More of a freelancer’s income can be taken if a gig service is subcontracted by employers registered through yet another freelance website. When it comes to cryptocurrency, users need to pay only a network fee. This fee is considerably lower on the BSC network as compared to other networks and these networks are faster.

Freelancers make up 57% of the active workers in the United States and over 50% of millennials have joined the gig economy. In Europe, as of 2017, over 9 million professionals were working as freelancers. This is an increase of 126% of workers transitioning from a traditional workforce to a freelance paradigm. Employers can now attract global talent and manage administrative requirements without the cost of HR overhead. There also is no need for third-party recruiting costs.

ClearSight is protecting freelancers with:

Data Ownership – User data such as certificates, ratings and reviews will be stored on the BCS blockchain. Users will always own their unique profile data.

Copywriting – The BSC profile provides a proof of work algorithm for freelancers by imprinting every creation in its token, giving all rights to the freelance client. It will also feature an automatic escrow payment, designed to give clients an exclusive right to a particular delivery.

Transaction Fees – ClearSight will use tokens. For international transactions, the use of blockchain smart contracts will stop reliance on banks and other intermediaries. For freelancers, using tokens reduces transaction fees and platform costs.

The spokesperson explained, “We believe that the newest challenge and trend in the workforce and corporations is peer-to-peer collaboration. Is the employee reliable with appropriate credentials and able to meet deadlines? Is an employer financially solvent and able to pay for the work, or will the gig worker be “stiffed”, as some famous contractors have done; contractors whom have never paid for good, honest work rendered on behalf of an employer?”

The ClearSight platform DAPPs will help freelancers to display proof of their records and reviews from previous employers. The entire process will be stored on the blockchain. The company aims to redefine the employment sector with the integration of blockchain technology, ensuring data verification and transparency for both employers and freelancers.

For more information, visit clearsight.finance. The ClearSight team will be exhibiting the platform at Crypto Expo Dubai 2021 this October 13-14.

Back to Work in the Office – What Leaders and CEOs Need to Consider

June 16, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

PEO Leadership, a firm offering executive leadership support, offers tips on what should be considered for the transition in a post-COVID work environment.

According to Statistics Canada and the U.S. Census Bureau, at the beginning of 2021, a third of households in Canada and the U.S. reported that they were mostly working from home during the pandemic. As restrictions ease and organizations look to reopen, leaders need to consider strategies around work, the workplace and the workforce.

“We’ve been used to working from home – walking the dog, dealing with the kids, not having to commute or travel, and having regular meals with the family. If we want to ensure our organization’s future success, we need to communicate to our workforce our plans sooner rather than later to ensure we allow for an adjustment period before everyone is back in the office.” explains Leon Goren, president and chief executive officer of PEO Leadership. “There are definitely going to be some challenges for businesses who are ready to transition back to an in-person work environment. It’s better to plan ahead and consider your options.”

In order to hit the ground running, there are a few key considerations you should be taking into account as a leader:

  •     How will your organization be operating? Will you work primarily in the office, primarily from home, or in a hybrid model? Is your organization able to even consider various options and still meet its corporate goals and objectives in this new post-Covid environment? If you are considering a hybrid approach, will you have mandatory days for employees to be present and should you be concerned about density and/or the capacity of the office? Have you thought about 2 or 3 days in the office and which days they would fall on (ie. is it fair that some will have long weekends while others will have to be in the office on either the Monday or Friday each week)?
  •     What is your internal company position on employees receiving the COVID-19 vaccine? Will you expect your staff to have the vaccine before returning to work? Will you be tracking uptake? Are you able to ask those questions? Will mask wearing be mandatory or optional in the workplace? Is there a possibility that it may create discrimination in the workplace?
  •     How will you conduct your business development? How do you plan on engaging current and potential clients? Will you allow customers to visit the office? Will your employees be expected to travel to customer locations – locally, nationally and internationally?
  •     How will your decisions affect competing for talent and employee retention? As the economy roars back and accelerates, finding the right, capable talent will become more competitive than ever. One great way to ensure your actions fall in line with your employee comfort levels is sending out a survey to various departments to understand what their preferences are. This could help guide your next step and keep your best talent.

Further to the above overarching considerations, leaders must also realize that there are other areas of concern that require a case-by-case approach that might be unique to each department, each team, and even the individual.

  •     Team cohesiveness. Many teams have not been working in the same location for over a year and there may be challenges in getting everyone back on the same page. It’s a good idea to ease into it and have some team building activities. Have you identified what departments can work from home and which departments should really be in the office to ensure the organization is able to meet its objectives? How important is collaboration in these departments? Does it need to be in-person, or can it really be done via zoom? How will you onboard and train your new hires and still ensure you maintain a high performance, engaging and inspirational culture? Historically, working in silos has been a major roadblock for organizations working on improving their performance and culture. COVID-19 has pushed many organizations backwards into silos once again – what can you do to ensure that your teams are agile, able to communicate openly and with trust? What are you doing to ensure everyone is aligned to the organization’s vision and mission?
  •     Mental health and anxiety. Unfortunately, one of the underlying effects of COVID is that people who were in good health and had no mental health issues, are now suffering from anxiety, depression, and burnout. Some of them may have developed self-destructive habits that were hidden in the confines of their home. It’s important to have a plan in place on how to support these employees.
  •     Family situations. Some of your employees may have difficulty coming back to work because of changes that have taken place in their personal lives. School and daycare closures will make it impossible for parents of young children to be in the office, or even to work regular office hours. Some employees may be taking care of elderly parents or sick family members. What will your company policy look like to accommodate these challenges?
  •     What’s changed, what’s stayed the same. Does your office need to be reimagined and reinvigorated independent of which model you choose to work? Will you have to put in new ventilation systems or new seating plans? There may be many things that will change in the office and some that will stay the same. It’s important for leaders to communicate these changes to their employees so that they know what is being done to keep them safe and give them a sense of control over their surroundings.

Every business leader should realize the importance of pulling together a return-to-work plan that includes numerous corporate policies to address the above issues and challenges. In every organization today, employees are making life decisions that will impact how and if they return to work. Many are moving to places that will not allow them to easily travel to their offices. Others may be selling one of their cars with the anticipation that travel will no longer be a priority. The reality is employees are not sitting still in regard to their life decisions and too many leaders are not communicating their plans effectively or in a timely manner. It definitely makes sense to not only plan early but also ensure that you connect with your employees during this strategic process.

Corporate policies will enable an organization to hit the ground running: to establish some normalcy, structure, and routine that will be helpful to everyone. You will need to consider whether you have intentional days for intentional activities, if you chose to operate with a hybrid model. Most importantly, these corporate policies will set the stage to allow you as a leader to be fair, firm and consistent as you work on strengthening your workplace culture.

Latest job numbers encouraging but a lot rides on federal job investments: Canada’s unions

April 9, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Canada’s unions are calling on the federal government to create more than one million jobs in the upcoming budget, pointing to today’s job numbers as further evidence of the need for expanded investments.

Statistics Canada released its latest Labour Force Survey today. It shows that more than 1.5 million unemployed and under-employed workers continue to struggle to find work, and thousands more have dropped out of the labour force altogether.

While February and March numbers showed strong job gains, the cresting of the Third Wave in April and subsequent lockdowns mean many of those gains could be lost.

“Following February’s achievements, a second month of strong job growth is welcome, but the federal government must stay the course and ensure a strong and broad-based recovery,” said Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC). “We need to see strong fiscal support to bring people back into the job market, especially women and workers of colour, and into decent green and care-economy jobs.”

Last fall’s Speech from the Throne promised the largest investment in Canadian history in training. That investment is what Canada’s unions will be looking for in the federal budget on April 19.

Ambitious investments in training and education are much-needed over the short- and medium term to help workers affected by ongoing technological change. Unions want to see expanded investment in upskilling opportunities and targeted support for the 30% of jobless Canadians who count among the long-term unemployed.

“Now is the time for a rapid return to full employment and investing in improving job quality to help workers fully get back on their feet,” said Yussuff.

FieldMetrix’s Job Card App Helps Businesses Provide Proof of Delivery

April 7, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

An industry leader in software for businesses has expanded its services with proof of delivery.

Representatives with FieldMetrix announced today that its Job Card App now helps businesses provide proof of delivery.

“Proof of a service or delivery can be more than just a signature capture,” said FieldMetrix CEO and Co-Founder Derek Mitchell. Barcode scanning and photo capture can also be a part of the quality service supply you offer.”

FieldMetrix, which recently celebrated 10 years in business, provides software that runs on the web and Android devices that enable companies to use mobile forms to capture data in the field. Data is visible in real-time on the company’s web interface that captures inspection forms, equipment maintenance checklists, signatures, and more.

FieldMetrix’s specialties include: customizable mobile forms, ad-hoc field data capture, reports, and assign field tasks to mobile workers.

Mitchell explained that the proof of delivery happens in just three quick and easy steps.

1. Send jobs to your field employees for them to complete on their device.

2. Use your Android device to capture signatures, barcodes, and pictures.

3. Email your clients with proof of delivery when the job is complete.

“Companies today are delivering more and more products and relying on companies to manage, distribute and deliver those products to their customers,” Mitchell said, before adding, “Customers, too, have new expectations when it comes to deliveries. Not just in timeframes but in how packages are delivered and received. And to handle all of these demands, companies need proof of delivery software applications that don’t just work, but change how they do business.”

But that’s not all. FieldMetrix is also now converting sample paper-based job cards into electronic reports for free for new clients. Electronic forms and job cards eliminate accuracy errors and provide real-time results.

“We’re offering this for free for new clients because customers seem to have a ‘moment of truth’ when they see their own job card or inspection list in PDF format with a picture, signature, and GPS fix,’” Mitchell said. “Your phone is increasingly becoming an important tool for business activities.”

Mitchell went on to question, “Are your field technicians completing their work on their Android phones?” If so, Mitchell noted, “They can track SLA compliance and reduce the cost of time finding completed work. Imagine having the peace of mind knowing you have met your SLA goals, and your technicians have completed their work scheduled for today, and the PDFs of the job cards or maintenance work are already in your inbox.”

Mitchell explained that FieldMetrix can create custom reports that allow for easier reading and understanding of what is really happening on the ground. This gives users the ability to respond more quickly and accurately using the information they have gathered in the field.

The company spokesperson reiterated that the PDF reports of all work done in the field are automatically emailed to clients or field service management within minutes of completion.

“If you would like us to show you what yours could look like, send us a copy of your job card to support@fieldmetrix.com, and we will convert it,” Mitchell said.
