<img align="left" height="147" hspace="5" src="http://acsess.org/broadcast/images/SteveJones.jpg" vspace="5" width="130" />This
afternoon session with Steve Jones reviews the business planning,
activities and metrics associated with running a multifaceted super
desk. Designed for staffing industry managers and extremely relevant
for consultants, this session is focused on the activities and attitudes
that make the difference between average and extraordinary
performance. <br />
We will review the daily performance activities on a 360<strong>o</strong>
desk where everything matters - temp and perm, sales and recruitment.
In this real-life session we will create individual consultant daily
plans, develop a measurement scheme and discuss tactics that will
shorten the cycle to success for rookies and improve the performance of
established consultants. This staffing industry customized session is
based around two simple rules: 1) What you measure is what you get, and
2) Luck is not a strategy. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihx-i2M4PuoYeQPxcPYpTSdllucOstCSaZfCn1KZ8onMOZz7-_ugkYLb8SpWGVM1xN_uHuT0Jr__VwnV_aXLly1bRqp8DM6aga9bOFvIoCVluC48AQtK-c3VMTBz8nIvMOnh3A/s1600/Steve_linkedIn_sales.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Statistic Canada November 2014" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihx-i2M4PuoYeQPxcPYpTSdllucOstCSaZfCn1KZ8onMOZz7-_ugkYLb8SpWGVM1xN_uHuT0Jr__VwnV_aXLly1bRqp8DM6aga9bOFvIoCVluC48AQtK-c3VMTBz8nIvMOnh3A/s1600/Steve_linkedIn_sales.jpg" height="160" title="Statistic Canada November 2014" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
In November when wholesalers are shipping more than 50% of their annual product and retailers are ramping into their biggest season of the year, StatsCan tells us that the wholesale and retail industries declined by 41,600 jobs. That reminds me of the time they reported that teacher jobs jumped through the ceiling in July. Bahaha. Seriously?<br />
<br />
<br />
Statistics Canada reported job increases in September and October. According to the <a href="http://www.thestar.com/business/2014/12/05/unemployment_rate_rises_to_66_per_cent_in_november.html" target="_blank">Toronto Star</a>, "The consecutive increases in September and October marked the first time since December 2012 that the agency's see-saw jobs survey recorded two straight months of employment growth outside the margin of error." Logic says that September and October must have been exaggerated gains and November's decline is just part of their pattern of errors and adjustments.<br />
<br />
The report also tells us that Ontario jobs declined by 34,000 in November while Quebec's increased by 20,000. Sorry kids. That didn't happen either.<br />
<br />
"Employment in professional, scientific and technical services decreased by 33,000" - Nope!<br />
<br />
They report that Private Sector jobs declined by 45,600 in November. Not believable! Neither is their report of a Public Sector increase of 22,600 jobs. Heck, even spend and burn socialists like Kathleen Wynne in Ontario weren't creating new jobs in November. In November the Ontario CCAC and other health care providers were actually cutting back services. <br />
<br />
Does the Agriculture industry in Canada increase jobs in November? Stats Can says they do. I'm not a farmer but my vegetables were picked and our garden was closed by November 1st. Stats Can reported that the Transportation and Warehousing industry decreased by 14,600 jobs in November. My friends in the industry tell me that there are not enough qualified drivers available to move the loads for Christmas season or the produce shipments from the south. If demand was up, certainly employment was not down.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/cKUvKE3bQlY" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
It is a survey. It is not based upon facts like payroll data. My theory is that people who are working hard (especially in new jobs in industries like retail, wholesale, transportation, technical or healthcare) are inclined to give false answers when interrupted by an annoying survey. As a result, they blurt out the sarcastic opposite of the truth just like I do when surveyed by political parties or questioned about my duct cleaning needs.<br />
<br />
For now, I'm going with the George Costanza Opposite Theory. Whatever Statistics Canada says about the labour market... I'm going with the opposite.<br />

Not
all staffing companies are created equal. The same goes for recruiters.
Client managers repeatedly tell us that the most significant factor in
selecting their staffing service company or recruitment firm is the
person they deal with.</div>
<br />
Sure, brand matters, technology matters,
specialties, size, locations and reputation all matter. But, in the end,
the actual recruiters and the people on the service team make customers
happy. (and unhappy).<br />
Dedicated recruitment industry
professionals know how important it is to differentiate themselves from
the rest of the pack. That's why top performing staffing professionals
don't think twice about achieving their Certified Personnel Consultant
(CPC) designation as a credible and demonstrative differentiation. <br /><br />Hiring
managers want a rapport with their recruiter that is based upon "Trust
and Confidence". In gathering Trust and Confidence, they look at the
credentials and qualifications of the recruiters and account managers.
Trust and Confidence go well beyond an agency’s name and brochure. They
are developed, they are earned, they are proven; and then they
ultimately are given. <br /><br />Hiring managers may not ask whether your
staffing agency is a member of ACSESS. You should never miss the
opportunity to tell them anyways. Tell your clients and prospects and
candidates that as a member of the Association of Canadian Search,
Employment and Staffing Services, you have pledged to uphold the
industry’s code of ethics and standards. The code addresses everything
from disclosure of information to adherence to laws and respect of
individuals. Active membership in ACSESS lends credibility to a client's
decision to lend you their Trust and Confidence.<br /><br />Don't miss the
opportunity to print the letters “CPC” behind your name. The Certified
Personnel Consultant designation is the only certification for
professionals working within the Canadian staffing industry. A recruiter
with the “CPC” credentials has made a commitment to the their
profession, to the industry and to professional performance. If you've
got it, flaunt it. <br /><br />The CPC courses and exams address important
topics such as the legal aspects of staffing services, human rights,
privacy laws, employment standards, employment equity, health and
safety, recruitment and selection techniques, and industry ethics.<br />
A
staffing industry professional with the CPC designation can speak
proudly of a commitment to professional conduct and skilled practices.<br />
<br />
ACSESS local chapters play an important role in promoting and offering CPC sessions.<br />
I'm
looking forward to delivering CPC courses in both Calgary, Alberta on
December 2, 2014 and in Winnipeg, Manitoba on December 3, 2014. My
visits to Western Canada will also include appearances at ACSESS Chapter
events. I'll be speaking on "Inspirational Leadership" while in Calgary
and while in Winnipeg, I will present a repeat of the ACSESS Conference
favorite session "Stop Trying to Change Me".<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Henk Engels 73, graciously and generously gave over 37 years of service to children with disabilities and the Ontario Track 3 Ski Association. Henk was an early partner of Ontario Track 3 as a volunteer ski instructor and was instrumental in the transition from an Ontario Easter Seals program to a highly respected independent charitable organization. Over his many years of service he selflessly contributed as an instructor, fund raiser, board member, President and Executive Director. Henk has played an important role in changing the lives of thousands of children with special needs. His contributions and accomplishments are truly reflected in Ontario Track 3 as one of his life’s great legacies. <br />

Henk is survived and missed most by his loving wife Susan, his proud sons Kevin and Randy and his grandson Bret. <br />
<br />
Our most sincere condolences and sympathies are expressed to family and friends on behalf of the Track 3 Board of Directors, staff members, volunteers, students of past and present and all association members.<br />
<br />
Further information about visitations and the funeral service will be posted on the Track 3 website at <a href="http://www.track3.org/">www.track3.org</a> as details become available. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During the past 30 years I have witnessed a consistent
transformation of the Canadian staffing industry and its players.<span> </span>In the early 80’s, the industry was truly
“entrepreneurial”.<span> </span>At the time, Bob
Cohen was the founder and President of Staffing Consultants.<span> </span>He was a leader of the staffing industry’s
entrepreneurial spirit.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I originally met Bob Cohen in Toronto in 1983 or 1984 at
an Association of Canadian Search, Employment & Staffing Services meeting
(formerly FTHS and CATS) and he quickly became a trusted mentor and
advisor.<span> </span>He believed that we could all
thrive and succeed in our fledgling industry if we would collaborate together
to promote the industry, share best practices, and set standards.<span> </span>While some owners were naturally untrusting,
insular, protective and secretive around competitors, Bob Cohen was the exact
opposite.<span> </span>He set a positive example for
openness, sharing and professionalism. His goal was to make it a better
industry for us all.</span></span></div>

other industry greats for guidance, advice and leadership.<span> </span>If you know a bit about the Canadian staffing
industry’s past, you’ll understand why I associate Bob Cohen with Gil Rosen,
Bill Coke and Ted Turner.<span> </span>These guys
cared and worked hard to foster the health and growth of an industry that has

ingredient to successful collaboration. He phoned, he met, he talked, he was

</span>Almost every time that we greeted each other or laughed or departed, Bob
was comfortable in putting a hand on my shoulder.<span> </span>Bob and I had many lunch meetings in
Toronto, drinks in Montreal, dinners in Dallas and laughed in streets of Las

comfortably nurturing relationships of trust and confidence.<span> </span>He was that man. </span></span></div>

“Cohen, Robert A. (Bob). Passed away on Saturday,
November 9, 2013. Beloved husband of Debra Joy Eklove. Devoted father of Paul
Cohen, Julie and Corey Chandler. Adoring grandfather of Hudson Davis and Smith
Beckett Chandler. Brother of Michael Cohen and Stephen Cohen both of
California. Bob was born in Brooklyn, New York and moved to Toronto to begin a
business in the staffing industry. His passion as a teacher was expressed
through his work in schools, as an entepreneur and leader in the Staffing
industry for 40 years, as a baseball coach, mentor and scout for the Major
League Baseball Commissioner's Office. His strength and courage, and feisty
character will be sorely missed by family, many lifelong friends and
colleagues.”</div>

<br />
This is Harry Hildebrand's original song and performance of "The Pitcher". The Best Baseball song ever. Hildebrand is a Mississauga, Ontario resident and mechanical engineer specializing in commercial HVAC systems. He's hit a home run with "The Pitcher", a ballad describing the hopes and heartbreaks of every kid with the promise, talent and chance to go to the show. Rumour has it that some of America's musical greats are already showing interest in re-recording this song which will surely be recorded time and time again throughout the future as one of the best baseball songs ever written.. <br />
<br />
Congratulations Harry! Are those cameo performances by Bob Skeates? Whoa! <br />

However, many of us do. We end up having more questions than answers. <i>Is the website credible? Which doctors are accepting new patients? What are the wait times for surgeries?</i></span></div>
<span class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text" data-hs-cos-general-type="meta_field" data-hs-cos-type="rich_text" id="hs_cos_wrapper_post_body">Start with the <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/hco/" target="_blank">Health Care Options</a> website. As a division of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care website, the website offers us many Ontario health care resources. You can find the right health services and nearby facilities, connect to a new doctor, get surgery wait times, and learn about the Ontario Health Insurance Plan all through one website.<br />
<b>Health Care Options Directory</b><br />
The <a href="http://www.hco-on.ca/English/Search/">Health Care Options Directory</a> puts you in touch with the health care service and facility you need. Using the interactive directory tool box, you select the services and facilities you or your loved ones are looking for in Ontario. You can further narrow your search by selecting a language preference and distance.<br />
<a data-mce-target="_blank" href="http://www.hco-on.ca/English/Search/" target="_blank"><img alt="Health_Care_Options_Directory" src="http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/282998/file-252430079-png/images/Health_Care_Options_Directory.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 434px;" width="434" /></a><br />
If you are unsure of what type of service or facility you need, the Health Care Options Directory includes a reference list on care centres below the directory tool box.<br />
<b style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Health Care Connect </b><br />
<br />
For those of us without a doctor, <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/ms/healthcareconnect/public/" target="_blank">Health Care Connect</a> connects us with family health care providers accepting new patients. Health Care Connect is a referral program with steps from ensuring eligibility to registering in the program and from finding a doctor to booking an appointment.<br />
<a data-mce-target="_blank" href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/ms/healthcareconnect/public/" target="_blank"><img alt="Health_Care_Connect" src="http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/282998/file-254502055-png/images/Health_Care_Connect.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 418px;" width="418" /></a><br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Health Care Options Searchable Tools</b><br />
<br />
Ontario Wait Times has two searchable tools to make scheduling procedures and waiting in the emergency room bearable. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://waittimes.hco-on.ca/en/" target="_blank">Ontario Wait Times for surgeries, MRIs and CTs</a> provides wait times for adult and paediatric procedures. Through a series of easy click-and-answer prompts, you can get access to wait times for multiple procedures scheduled throughout the province. This tool is a convenient search option when comparing procedure wait times at different hospitals and facilities.<br />
<a data-mce-target="_blank" href="http://waittimes.hco-on.ca/en/search/er/" target="_blank"><img alt="Ontario_Wait_Times" src="http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/282998/file-254508495-png/images/Ontario_Wait_Times.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 419px;" width="419" /></a><br />
The <a href="http://waittimes.hco-on.ca/en/search/er/" target="_blank">Ontario Wait Times for emergency rooms</a> provides wait times for ER visits. Emergency room wait times represent the total time for the visit, from initial registration to final release or hospital transfer. <br />
<br />
To note, Ontario Wait Times does not provide real-time information. All waits times are based on the wait times for 9 out of 10 patients. You can learn more about Ontario Wait Times on the frequently asked question pages for <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/waittimes/surgery/faq.aspx" target="_blank">surgeries and diagnostic imaging</a> and <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/waittimes/edrs/faq.aspx" target="_blank">ER visits</a>.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Learning Health Care Options</b><br />
<br />
Learning about health care options before needing them alleviates some of the stress associated with finding the right Ontario health care for you or your loved ones. The Health Care Options website offers a user-friendly reference guide. On the <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/hco/options.aspx" target="_blank">Learn about your options</a> webpage, you and your loved ones can access information on types of care centres and watch videos.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a data-mce-target="_blank" href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/hco/options.aspx" target="_blank"><img alt="Health_Care_Options" src="http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/282998/file-253806437-png/images/Health_Care_Options.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 419px;" width="419" /></a><br />
<b style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">More Valuable Resources</b><br />
<br />
The Health Care Options website connects you to more valuable health resources. Scroll down to the bottom of the homepage to find links to:</div>
<ul style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">
<li style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">the 24/7 TeleHealth Ontario line to speak with a registered nurse.</li>
<li style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Health Care Options Fact Sheets to understand health care in Ontario and read about health services in other languages. </li>
<li style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">Ontario's Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) to get updates and eligibility requirements.</li>
<li style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);">ColonCancerCheck to learn about the screening program.</li>
</ul>
The <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/hco/" target="_blank">Health Care Options website</a> takes the guesswork out of searching for Ontario health care. The website also alleviates the uneasiness some of us experience when browsing the internet for health services and resources; we never know what to expect. So, start with this list of resources. Or, explore Health Care Options on your own.</span> </div>

One
time my family went out to the lake at our cottage. My daughter climbed
onto this battery-powered floaty. She drove circles around us for
hours. At one point she started to drive away from me. I thought I could
swim fast enough to catch up to her. So I let her get about 10 yards
away, and then I started to swim towards her. I realized that the speed
of that device was about the same speed that I could swim and I couldn't
catch up to her.<br />
<br />
I swam as hard as I could until I had to quit. She had thought it was
a game, and when she saw me quit she eventually stopped and turned
around. But my heart was broken. I honestly thought that I had this
'Superhero Syndrome', that if my daughter's life was ever in danger,
nothing could stop me from protecting her.<br />
<br />
As a family member, when we're caring for someone we love, we
honestly think, and we convince ourselves that we can take care of the
ones we love. We tell ourselves things like, <em>I can look after them; I
can stay up all night with them at the hospital; I can feed them, care
for them, lift and move them; I can do everything they need from me.</em><br />
<br />
People naturally want to care for their families and they will try
after grandpa is diagnosed with dementia or grandma ends up in the
hospital after a serious fall. But you know what? We're all human. We're
not superheroes. As the family caregivers, we have the best intentions
and hugest of hearts, but we get tired, hurt or sick. We could get angry
and suffer all kinds of emotional stress.<br />
<br />
Sooner or later, caregivers realize they can't do everything on their
own. By recognizing their own Superhero Syndrome sooner rather than
later, caregivers can ask for help and everyone will be better for it.
Getting help in their mission to care for their loved one is often the
greatest superhero act they can commit.<br />
<br />
That's why we're in this business. We're glad to provide every day
superheroes with relief. We create a care plan that includes the family
caregivers as part of the care plan, without being the only part. Adding
additional caregivers or a Personal Support Worker (PSW) to the care
plan balances out the balancing act, allowing the family members to be
involved an an appropriate level and still take care of themselves. They
can feel good about caring for their loved ones without the burden of
having a second full-time job.<br />
<br />
Of course, everybody has their reasons for needing help or a
caregiver. It could be because a family caregiver is overly stressed
with caring for a loved one on their own. It could be because a patient
wants a few hours of help after receiving outpatient cosmetic surgery.
It could be because it's a palliative situation and the patient prefers
to be at home rather than in the hospital. Or, it could just be because
they're alone and need help with daily living. Everyone has their
reasons so we don't focus so much on the reasons. We care about
providing a solution that works for everyone involved.<br />

<i>"So by now I was walking the lobby, and of course, that hurt, because of my hip, and I kind of needed a sign. And I saw a sign. In the window of the hospital's tiny gift shop there was a sign that said, 'Volunteers Needed.' Hmm. Well, they signed me up immediately. No reference checks. None of the usual background stuff, no. They were desperate for volunteers because the average age of the volunteer at the hospital gift shop was 75."</i><br />

Allison Hunt has worked in advertising and marketing for 20 years, developing human insight and persuasion into an art for her clients. Six years after getting an artificial hip, she decided to try something new.<br />
<br />
Moral of the story - What goes around comes around - Volunteerism can help transform business, government, systems or process into organizations with soul. It's always about the people.<br />

More and more Ontarian families are turning to high quality private home care companies like Qualicare to receive the quality of in-home care that our parents deserve. Our parents have lived, worked and prepared their entire life so that they can afford to enjoy a comfortable and dignified retirement. Unfortunately, an aging population also means challenges for the Ontario health care system which is not fully prepared to meet the growing demands.<br />
<br />
This week CBC has been running stories that shed a light on the growing demands, challenges and short comings of a system that is not designed to deliver what families want and need. Here's is one story.<br />

<div id="storybody">
Ontario kicked off its seniors strategy in 2012 to address a demographic crunch as its population ages and health costs balloon.A key plank of the strategy involves keeping patients and those who need care out of hospitals and long term care homes. The solution? Providing health and personal support care at home.<br />
<ol>
<li>Home care service is provided by healthcare workers to people who have clinical needs in their homes. Services are administered and assessed by Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) in Ontario. The CCAC arranges services like physiotherapy, occupational therapy and the arrangement of medical supplies and equipment. Waterloo Region and Guelph are served by the Waterloo Wellington CCAC.</li>
<li>Home care service is viewed as a key element to ensuring the health care system remains sustainable with an aging population. Just under 15 per cent of Ontarians are over 65, and they account for just under half of all health and social care spending. There are 1.9 million people in Ontario over the age of 65; by 2030 that is projected to grow to four million.</li>
<li>The number of seniors in Waterloo Wellington is growing at a faster rate than the provincial average. The projected growth rate of those over 65 in Waterloo Wellington between now and 2021 is 36 per cent. In Ontario, that rate is 32.6 per cent.</li>
<li>A day in a hospital costs the healthcare system about $1,000 per day. A day in a long term care home costs about $133 per day. A day of home and community care costs about $55 per day.</li>
<li>Fifty six per cent of clients served by the Waterloo Wellington CCAC are over the age of 65. Just under 28 per cent are between the ages of 19 and 64, while 16 per cent are 18 years or younger.</li>

Last July, Howard Cohen was thrown into a tailspin that many Ontarians find themselves in when an elderly loved one suddenly falls ill.His 91-year-old mother, Norma, was diagnosed with colon cancer at North York General Hospital. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
Cohen, a doctor, decided against surgery, given his mother’s quick and marked deterioration, her age, and the fact she has dementia and had recently suffered a heart attack.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">After informing the hospital of his decision, he says he was told she had only five business days to vacate her bed and find a long-term care (LTC) home, formerly known as a nursing home. </div><div class="articlerelatedvideogallery section" data-inset-done="true" style="display: block;"><div class="article-related-video-gallery" id="arvg-1"><br />
</div></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><a href="http://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2013/06/21/ontario_longtermcare_staff_need_training_researchers_say.html"></a></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Cohen recounts how he was given a list of local homes, told to pick five and rank them in order of preference. Three would have to have short waits and his mother would have to go to the first home with a bed available.<br />
<br />
</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Cohen started to climb what would be a steep learning curve, researching and touring homes. He was perplexed by the disparities, particularly when it came to what the homes had to offer residents with dementia. These same disparities result in some homes having empty beds, while others have waits as long as 14 years.He was stunned to discover, he says, that he had been misinformed and given inadequate information about how to select a home by a hospital social worker and a case manager from one of the province’s 14 community-care access centres (CCACs), which control entry into LTC homes.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">After intense research that involved talking to seniors’ advocates and even consulting the Long-Term Care Homes Act, Cohen discovered he did not have to choose as many as five homes, including three with short waits. Nor did he have only five days to make a decision. Nor was he limited to choosing only from the list of homes he was given at the hospital.</div><br />
<div class="section articlepullquote" data-inset-done="true" style="display: block;"><div class="article-pull-quote float-clear"><div class="quote">“You’re turned upside down. This is a priority because in five days’ time you have got to choose where your loved one will live for the rest of their life and probably will die. You want to make sure it’s the best and that you can advocate for them.”</div></div></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“I felt pressured, there is no question about it, in trying to make a decision,” he says.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The experience highlights some of the biggest problems in Ontario’s health system today. The hospital sector is rapidly shrinking, with patients moving in and out of fewer beds faster than ever. Ontario has 2.4 hospital beds for every 1,000 residents, the lowest ratio of any province and most developed countries.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
There is enormous pressure to quickly discharge seniors like Norma.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">At the same time, a growing and aging population is fuelling demand for long-term care. The number of people waiting for beds jumped by almost 85 per cent between 2005 and 2012, when there were 19,000 waiting for placement, according to the provincial auditor. But the number of beds increased by only 3 per cent during that time.</div><div class="section articlerelated" data-inset-done="true" style="display: block;"><div class="article-related"><br />
</div></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The home- and community-care sectors are growing, helping seniors to stay in their own homes longer, but not fast enough to keep up with demand. Meantime, families are coming up against health officials who are trying to keep the flow of patients moving by bending rules in the face of limited resources.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Felt ‘coerced’</b></span></h3></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">For Howard Cohen, it was a baffling and distressing time. His mother was too ill to return to her retirement home and needed the 24-hour health care of an LTC facility. It was a world of which he knew little, but he had to find her a new home — fast.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
“I didn’t know what my rights were, I didn’t know anything about special dementia programs, or how old homes were. I didn’t even know to ask these questions,” he says.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
Cohen says he now feels he was being “coerced” into making a quick decision that was not in his mother’s best interests. He has agreed to tell his story to help others in the same situation learn about their rights.Believing he had only five days to find his mother a home, he researched, phoned and toured facilities in between seeing his own patients. He was on call at the time, working overnight, with shifts as long as 36 hours.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
“You’re turned upside down. This is a priority because in five days’ time you have got to choose where your loved one will live for the rest of their life and probably will die. You want to make sure it’s the best and that you can advocate for them,” he says.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">North York General Hospital spokesperson Marcelo Gomez-Wiuckstern says privacy laws prevent him from discussing individual patients. But he went on to explain that last year the hospital had a process in place to “encourage” patients to temporarily move to LTC homes with short waits until beds became available in the homes where they really wanted to move.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">That has since changed and the new process involves discharging patients to their own homes, with home-care support, until a bed becomes available in a LTC facility of their choice.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“In some cases, families do not feel they are prepared to take their loved one home and prefer to have them stay in the hospital while waiting for their preferred facility,” Gomez-Wiuckstern says.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">But Jane Meadus, a lawyer with the <a href="http://www.acelaw.ca/" target="_blank">Advocacy Centre for the Elderly</a>, says she constantly hears from families like the Cohens who have been misinformed and pressured to move loved ones to homes with short waits. This reporter has heard similar stories.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
“The rules are being broken. People are being lied to, no question. They are being told they have to do things that are not in accordance with the law, in order for hospitals to get them out of beds,” Meadus says.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Applicants can choose fewer than five homes if they wish, Meadus says. They must be given “reasonable time” to make their choices. They are also free to apply to any home in the province and are not limited to choosing from a pre-selected list.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">And while they are not required to choose homes with short waits, Meadus says they might want to consider doing so because hospitals don’t provide the programming and type of care available in LTC homes and patients are at risk of acquiring hospital-borne inflections. </div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The squeeze is so great at both ends — hospitals and long-term care — that many ailing seniors are wrongly told they must go home from hospital before they can even apply to a nursing home, Meadus says. “I have issues with them putting people into the community who shouldn’t be going because it’s not safe,” she says. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">In 2011, the province cracked down on hospitals that were breaking the rules. As reported in <a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2011/02/22/pay_1800_a_day_or_get_out_hospital.html">the Star</a>, hospitals were threatening patients with daily charges of up to $1,800 unless they moved to the first available bed from a pre-selected list of homes with short waits.The issue of LTC waits is so problematic that provincial auditor Jim McCarter dedicated a chapter of his annual report to it last December. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">He wrote that there were about 2,000 Ontarians waiting in hospital beds for LTC in March last year. Of the 1,000 in acute-care hospital beds, some 90 per cent were placed in LTC within 495 days, with waits being longest for the hardest-to-serve patients, including those with dementia.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">McCarter pointed out that applicants waiting in hospital for LTC beds — like Norma — generally have no priority over applicants from the community. He recommended they be given priority since it costs the health system more to operate a hospital bed than a LTC bed.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">One day in a hospital costs $1,000; one day in LTC costs $130; and a day of home care or community care costs $55.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The auditor said that by freeing up beds occupied by patients waiting for LTC, there would be more available for other patients, including those coming in through the ER, where waits can be long.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">McCarter wrote that even though Ontario gives individuals the right to freely choose what homes they want to apply to, other provinces have stricter policies and allow hospitals to force patients to move to the first vacant long-term care bed. He suggested Ontario consider this.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">But removing applicant choice would be a politically unpopular idea and it’s not on the radar in Ontario. “The primacy of choice and consent” is entrenched the Long-Term Care Homes Act, says Sheamus Murphy, director of communications for Health Minister Deb Matthews.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>“Nobody can be forced into any particular long-term care home,” he says. </i></b></div></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Murphy notes that the Liberal government has taken many steps to address LTC waits, including opening 9,000 new beds. As well, a recent investment of $260 million in home and community care is taking pressure off the LTC system by helping seniors get care in their own homes.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;">‘It was appalling’</span></span></span></h3></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">During his search, Howard Cohen saw homes where he would never want a loved one to live, particularly one with dementia. “They were terrible. The patients I saw weren’t stimulated. I saw a lot of people sitting around a television set. They were in wheelchairs and left alone. Maybe it was isolated, but it seemed to be repeated in institutions I went to,” he says.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
“It was very appalling. This is not what you would like to see happen in a facility that is supposed to be taking care of you.”</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>According to an analysis undertaken last year by the Ontario Association of Community Care Access Centres (OACCAC), 21 per cent of Ontario’s 640 long-term care facilities have fewer than five applicants on their wait lists.</i></b></div></div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">There are actually beds sitting empty in some of these homes. That’s because there are different wait lists for different types of beds — basic, private and semi-private, male and female — and no one has applied to get into some of them.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Meantime, 12 per cent of homes have more than 150 people on their waiting lists.The OACCAC analysis also shows that one in five applicants chooses only one home.Many homes with short waits are older. They haven’t been renovated and don’t look as nice as newer homes, but the quality of care is comparable, argues OACCAC spokesperson Gabriella Skubincan, echoing an oft-heard sentiment. </div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Offering an analogy, she says Toronto General Hospital provides good care even though it is old and not pleasing to the eye.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“Often people don’t have a choice as to which hospital they get admitted into for care, depending on what they need, but they can choose their LTC home and can make choices based on very different criteria, including location,” she says.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">But preference for newer homes is clearly about more than esthetics. New and recently renovated homes are better designed to meet the needs of seniors, for example, with wider doorways for wheelchairs and layouts that are easier to manage for residents with dementia.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Newer homes offer residents more privacy. A basic bed in an older home can be in a four-person ward, whereas in a newer home it can be in a room for two, separated by a partition, or even in a private room</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">In 2009, the province announced plans to renovate 329 older homes. But to date, only 4,000 of 35,000 beds in need of renewal have been approved for redevelopment, says Candace Chartier, CEO of the Ontario Long-Term Care Association.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“We believe additional investment is needed to meet growing need,” she says, adding that renovating older homes would make them more attractive options.Meantime, seniors’ advocates like Meadus argue there are simply not enough homes and more need to be built. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Geriatrician Dr. Samir Sinha, who is heading up the Health Ministry’s seniors’ strategy, says there is no question Ontario will eventually have to build more LTC homes, an extremely costly endeavour. </div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">In the meantime, investments should continue to be made in home and community care, he says, explaining this can help reduce the LTC demand. He cites studies showing a third of LTC residents could remain in their own homes with support from home- and community-care services.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“Are there challenges in long-term care? Absolutely, (especially) as the patient population becomes much more high-needs,” he says. “We just need to make sure we have the right mix of services in the right place to meet that need.”</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue;">Disparities exist</span></h3></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">While preference for newer homes is indisputably a big factor gumming up wait lists, Howard Cohen’s experience shows there is a lot more to the disparities between facilities. </div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Among the most desirable are Baycrest’s Apotex Centre, Jewish Home for the Aged and Kensington Gardens, the only two homes Cohen ended up applying to on behalf of his mother, in that order of preference. He did so despite the protestations of the hospital social worker and CCAC case manager. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“I was told under no uncertain terms, ‘Do not choose Baycrest because their waiting list is (years) and it’s not realistic,’” Howard recounts. “They were angry. I was told, ‘(You) can’t do that. The hospital is going to be very upset.’”</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">But Cohen stood his ground, armed with research material showing he was within his rights.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">He says he picked Baycrest and Kensington because they are best suited to his mother. Both have specially trained staff working in dedicated units for residents with dementia. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
Baycrest is a designated Jewish home and the Cohens are Jewish. Kensington doesn’t have this designation but has a large Jewish population. Both facilities are modern.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“As far as I was concerned, those are the best to handle dementia patients. You try to query the CCAC about which are the best centres for dementia and they don’t give you any help,” he charges.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Cohen is right to be concerned about dementia care. Earlier this month, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario and the advocacy group Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities called attention to what they say is a failure of Ontario’s long-term care system to meet the needs of those with dementia.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Not only is there a shortage of beds and long waits for these residents, but staff are often not equipped to meet their needs, the groups charge.“There is no guarantee they will receive care from staff who are trained and who have the skills to respond to the needs of residents with dementia or cognitive impairment,” argues Gale Carey, CEO of the Alzheimer Society.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue;">Charitable homes</span></h3></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Another factorbehind differences in waits between homes is their different corporate structures. This is something health officials don’t seem to want to talk about. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The ratio of applicants to beds is greatest at homes run by charities and non-profit entities, like Baycrest and Kensington, respectively, according to an analysis of Health Ministry data by the Ontario Association of Non-Profit Homes and Services for Seniors (OANHSS). That is followed by municipally run homes and then private, for-profit homes.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Charitable and non-profit homes account for only 25 per cent of all homes in Ontario, but are sought after by 42 per cent of applicants. Municipal facilities account for 17 per cent of all homes and are sought after by 26 per cent of applicants. Private, for-profit facilities account for 58 per cent of all homes and 32 per cent of the waiting list.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">But just because there is more demand for the charitable and non-profit sectors doesn’t mean those homes are better than those in the municipal and for-profit sectors, Meadus cautions: “I don’t really take a position on that because I think there are good and bad in (all of them).” Many charitable homes like Baycrest were created for seniors of certain ethnic or religious backgrounds and are particularly popular. They tend to have strong community connections, a big volunteer presence and lots of fundraising.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section"></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">That, in turn, translates into extra resources for modern upgrades, more activities, higher staffing levels, additional amenities and, simply put, more pleasant and comfortable surroundings.<br />
</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">OANHSS CEO Donna Rubin says non-profit and municipal homes also tend to have more funding to hire extra staff.So who ends up in the homes where few others want to go? Residents include seniors with no family, no advocates and those who don’t have the wherewithal to advocate for themselves, Meadus charges.<br />
</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Also getting short shrift, she argues, are seniors who opt to move into expensive, unregulated retirement homes because they can’t get into long-term care. They can end up spending more than $5,000 a month on both rent and private health care.“Retirement homes are becoming the new long-term care homes,” she says. “The use of retirement homes to care for persons who need long-term care is a form of two-tiered medicine where there is not the same type of oversight (and) level of care.”</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><b>Growing demand</b><br />
</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The main underlying pressure on the LTC system is growing demand, provincial auditor McCarter wrote in his annual report. The median wait time tripled between 2005 and 2012, to 98 days from 36. During that time, the number of Ontarians 75 and older jumped by more than 20 per cent. Their numbers are expected to grow by another 30 per cent by 2021, increasing pressure even more.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">McCarter found that crisis applicants wait a median of 94 days. This includes frail seniors whose caregivers have suddenly fallen ill and can no longer tend to them at home. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
Meantime, those with moderate needs wait 10 to 14 months and most others “for years.” </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">But the ever-optimistic Sinha has a different take on the numbers, choosing instead to look at trends since 2009-2010, when waits were at their worst. Since that time, the number of people waiting for LTC dropped to 19,000 from 25,000. The number of patients waiting in hospital for LTC dropped by 32 per cent, to 2,141 from 3,145.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The province has made a dent in the problem by investing more in home and community care. That has allowed 30,000 seniors who might otherwise have ended up in LTC to continue living in their own homes, Sinha says. Still, he acknowledges LTC demand will continue to grow and cites a Conference Board of Canada study that projects the need will increase to 238,000 Ontarians by 2031. Currently, 112,000 Ontarians are served annually.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">The province can keep LTC demand in check by continuing to beef up home and community care, he says, adding there is also a huge need for more supportive housing. “These are really tough, thorny issues. These are issues that can’t be solved overnight,” Sinha says. </div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section" style="text-align: center;"><h3><span style="color: blue;">Work in progress</span></h3></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Old and sick, the average resident lives in long-term care for about three years before death, an amount of time that is expected to decrease given that it’s harder than ever to get into a home these days. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">That, in turn, means about one-third of the province’s 76,000 long-term care beds become available for new placements annually.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">To make the navigation process easier, the auditor urged Ontario’s 14 <a href="http://www.thehealthline.ca/waittimes/" target="_blank">CCACs</a> to publicly post wait times. Nine are now doing so and it’s a work in progress. But Meadus says the lists don’t give at true picture because they only provide overall median waits, not waits faced by applicants in different priority levels, something McCarter advocated. Priority levels are assigned, for example, to applicants in crisis, veterans and those moving to homes where spouses already live.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section"></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Applicants also get priority for homes that serve their ethnicity or religion, but because these facilities are so popular, waits are as long as 14 years, according to the auditor.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Another factor affecting waits is the ability of homes to care for residents with behavioural problems, caused by such things as dementia, psychiatric or cognitive impairments. Some may need to be in secure, locked units.And some residents need higher levels of care because, for example, they have conditions requiring ventilation or they use feeding tubes. </div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section"></div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Wait lists are also affected by the fact that some homes just have bad reputations. Though less than perfect, Health Ministry <a href="http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ltc/26_reporting.aspx" target="_blank">inspection reports</a> show which homes get a lot of complaints and which ones have failed inspections.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Another tool that shows how well — or not — homes are performing is <a href="http://www.hqontario.ca/public-reporting/long-term-care" target="_blank">Health Quality Ontario’s</a> Long-Term Care public reporting website. It offers a glimpse into how residents in individual homes are faring by tracking the level of falls, pressure ulcers, incontinence and use of restraints. This is also a work in progress and not all homes are publicly reporting results yet.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Lastly, another factor affecting waits is the ability to pay extra for private and semi-private rooms. Those who can afford it get in faster. Even though only 40 per cent of applicants apply for “preferred accommodation,” homes can designate up to 60 per cent of beds for those who pay more.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><b>Still waiting</b></div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Almost a year later, Norma is still waiting in North York General. Howard Cohen recognizes there is a good chance she could die before an LTC bed becomes available. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">In fact, 15 per cent of applicants pass away while still on the waiting list, according to the auditor. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section"><br />
The latest wait time Cohen has been given is 1.5 years for Baycrest and four to five years for Kensington.</div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">Waiting in a hospital bed is not what he wants for his mother, but he feels he’s making the best of a bad situation. He has hired a full-time personal support worker to help feed her, get her out of bed and give her the extra help and stimulation that hospital staff cannot. </div><div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“It’s a terrible situation because the population is aging and they don’t have the facilities to care for them,” he says.</div><br />
<div class="text combinedtext parbase section">“The system is probably stretched to the seams . . . It is a very unfortunate reflection on our health system.”</div><i>Reporter <b>Theresa Boyle</b> can be reached at <a href="mailto:tboyle@thestar.ca" target="_blank">tboyle@thestar.ca </a>. </i><br />

<h3>
<b>Facebook Hashtag Tips for Marketers</b></h3>
<ol>
<li>When creating a brand new hashtag, make sure the hashtag is original and not already in use by someone else.</li>
<li>Incorporate industry or branded keywords.</li>
<li>Be careful about sentiments. Remember <a href="http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/31310/7-Rookie-Social-Media-Mistakes-From-Big-Brands.aspx" target="_blank">the McDonald's hashtag fiasco</a>?</li>
<li>Promote the hashtag by incorporating it into other marketing channels like email, landing pages, other social networks, etc.</li>
<li>Don't hijack popular hashtags that aren't relevant to your content. It's spammy, <a href="http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/32658/13-Ways-to-Create-a-Cringeworthy-Social-Media-Presence.aspx" target="_blank">like in this example</a> (see #8). </li>
<li>Keep it short. While you don't really have to worry about character
count on Facebook, you do if you're using the same hashtag on a site
like Twitter where you <i>do </i>need to consider character limitations.</li>
<li>Make sure your hashtagged posts are public. I'm not sure why you
wouldn't be making your marketing posts public anyway, but yeah, don't
overlook this.</li>
<li>Incorporate hashtags into your Facebook ads!</li>
</ol>
Currently, hashtags are available only to a small percentage of
people and pages on Facebook, but Facebook indicates it will roll them
out more comprehensively in the coming weeks.<br />

<br />
<a href="http://qualicaretoronto.com/" target="_blank">Qualicare's</a> newest franchise owners Jeff Durish and Steve Jones are often described as dynamic leaders with a commitment to people, community and successful outcomes. They have both been involved in caring for family members through a series of complex health and medical challenges and have decided to devote their talents and effort to increasing the quality of life for others with similar challenges. Their personal values and goals are perfectly aligned with the principles of Qualicare Home Care Services.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZS2JDv14-bwJgzeZxSnQIp_6Feqs_oD6RXGCHd6QrckJYpq1uMtV5E2rleDwBLdhIWHha5_RcMCLe5OWh4vTOfHZRdb76ox2lK-7ou7W8daN3x82NiPexe7UJWXN4ENMtqZKV/s1600/Durish+Sears+ORIGINAL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZS2JDv14-bwJgzeZxSnQIp_6Feqs_oD6RXGCHd6QrckJYpq1uMtV5E2rleDwBLdhIWHha5_RcMCLe5OWh4vTOfHZRdb76ox2lK-7ou7W8daN3x82NiPexe7UJWXN4ENMtqZKV/s200/Durish+Sears+ORIGINAL.jpg" width="200" /></a>Jeff and Steve met as young children at YMCA summer camp near Honey Harbour Ontario and have remained trusted friends ever since. 40 years later and after reaching the pinnacle of their respective careers, they have combined their business and life experiences to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others through Qualicare Family Homecare Services.<br />
<br />
Jeff has enjoyed a successful career, assembling and leading global engineering teams in delivering high quality software systems. He is a strong believer in the importance of family and in actively giving back to the community. He recently rode across Canada raising financial support and awareness for <a href="http://www.communitypress.ca/2012/09/03/cyclist-going-cross-country" target="_blank">The Sears National Kids Cancer Ride</a> and also has honored those who have battled or are battling cancer by representing Canada in international dragon boating competition.<br />

Just two weeks later, forward thinking Bullhorn CEO Art Papas announced his company's <a href="http://www.bullhorn.com/news-and-press/press-releases/bullhorn-acquires-maxhire-solutions-and-sendouts" target="_blank">acquisitions of Canadian competitor MaxHire and St. Louis-based Sendouts.</a><br />
<br />
Bullhorn, <a href="http://maxhire.net/" target="_blank">MaxHire</a> and <a href="http://www.sendouts.com/">Sendouts</a> offer recruiting (SaaS) software-as-a-service to front offices of the staffing and recruitment industry. The combined customer base of the three companies represent over 5,000 staffing and recruiting agencies. Prior to the acquisition, Bullhorn boasted more than 100,000 users. The new combined number of users will be considerably larger.<br />
<br />

Until now, smaller Canadian job posters would enter their jobs into Bullhorn then probably log into Workopolis and manually re-type their postings. It's a time consuming process that systemically allows for all kinds of quality problems including breakdowns in standardized content, spelling errors and outdated job posts. Advertisers using the Workopolis Screening Room feature are then required to log into Workopolis to view the profiles of candidate responses. Then what? <br />
<br />
Larger advertisers on Workopolis typically develop an auto-integration such as an RSS feed or website HTML wrap that synchronizes Workopolis postings with the agency's website postings once per day. This "wrap" or "scrape" solution offered by the job board requires a small degree of customized technical integration. It is a synchronization between an intermediary job list and Workopolis but not a direct integration between Workopolis and Bullhorn.<br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> <b><i> The new partner integration between Workopolis and Bullhorn will allow customers to post
jobs directly from Bullhorn to Workopolis without an intermediary wrap.</i></b></span></span></span><br />
<br />
It will also allow agencies to:<br />
<ul>
<li>Capture applications directly into the agency's candidate database</li>
<li>Avoid the Workopolis Screening Room step</li>
<li>Capture response data directly to the respective job order in Bullhorn</li>
<li>Search the Workopolis resume database directly from within the Bullhorn
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) </li>
<li>Easily import resumes into the agency's Bullhorn ATS </li>
</ul>
If you are a Bullhorn user then you are probably familiar with the "<span style="font-size: small;">Web </span>Enabled" direct posting feature within the Job Order module and the integration with Bullhorn Reach. I have not yet test driven the new integration with Workopolis but imagine it will be quite similar to the Reach integration. Not bad. <br />
<br />
If you are a Workopolis client with an existing daily wrap then this new integration announcement is rather ho-hum. You already have something that works for posting.<br />
<br />
Agencies that are currently entering job posts manually into Workopolis will see this new direct posting feature as a bonus. But more important is the auto import and parsing of Workopolis candidates directly into the Bullhorn database. But don't get too excited about what might come to pass. If Bullhorn or Workopolis live up to their reputations, it will probably be clunky and cost you something more than you expect. <br />

There are mixed opinions amongst existing staffing industry customers about the double acquisition. Some Bullhorn customers see this a bold step necessary for them to carve a path to the next generation of recruitment technology.<br />
<br />
Satisfied or dissatisfied, Bullhorn is thought to be near the end of it's current platform's potential. As a past user of Bullhorn it seemed like even the smallest feature enhancements were difficult for the company to implement. They appeared limited in their flexibility and opportunity because of the trappings of their legacy decisions. <br />
<br />
In an article posted on <a href="http://www.staffingindustry.com/site/content/view/full/96237">Staffingindustry.com</a>, Andrew Hally, vice president of product and marketing at Bullhorn. addressed the innovation trap by saying "the company is working on a next-generation system that will
incorporate innovations from Bullhorn, MaxHire and Sendouts. The new
platform could be out in a year or two and customers will have the
choice of moving to it or staying with what they have. Customers also
have the option of moving to the Bullhorn platform prior to the next
generation."<br />
<br />
The appointment of MaxHire’s Vancouver based CEO Peter Blitz as Bullhorn’s product innovation
officer is a sure sign that Bullhorn and their private equity owners Vista Equity Partners are committed to a new round of technology innovation. <br />
<br />
In the Blogshere, existing clients at MaxHire and Sendouts are reacting with a little less enthusiasm. The general sense is that if they wanted to use Bullhorn, they would have made that decision on their own. The word is already out that there will be no further product enhancements to Maxhire and Sendouts. All hands are committed to consolidating the best of all three products under the Bullhorn banner.<br />
<br />
If size matters then the new combo company is strengthening its position for the battle with IBM who recently paid $1.3 billion for recruitment software giant <a href="http://www.kenexa.com/Solutions/RecruitmentTechnology/GlobalTalentAcquisition" target="_blank">Kenexa</a> known for their Brassring recruitment technology. Brassring boasts:<br />
<ul style="margin: 1em;">
<li>120 Million Candidate Records</li>
<li>System Users in More Than 120 Countries</li>
<li>Candidates Processed in Over 190 Countries</li>
<li>One Million Recruiters and Hiring Managers Per Day</li>
<li>80,000 Candidates Per Day</li>
</ul>
In my opinion, Sendouts is the easiest product to use, MaxHire has the best innovation and technology under the hood and Bullhorn has the leadership, market penetration and innovation discipline to make this a win-win-win-win situation for all three companies and their staffing industry clients. Only time will tell.<br />

Blunt and unflattering does not
constitute “harassment” </h3>
<div id="articleTitle">
As of June 2010, the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act requires employers to have written policies and programs that assess the risks and prevent workplace violence and harassment. Amongst other provisions, the policies must allow workers to remove themselves from harmful situations if they have reason to believe that they are at risk of danger or fall prey to harassment. </div>

The Ontario Labour Relations Board (“OLRB”) recently provided some
much-needed guidance to employers on what managerial conduct will
constitute workplace harassment under the province’s <em>Occupational Health and Safety Act</em> (“<em>OHSA</em>”).<br />
<br />
In <a class="logclick ct_cont" href="http://www.canlii.ca/en/on/onlrb/doc/2012/2012canlii53919/2012canlii53919.html" target="_blank"><em>Amodeo v. Craiglee Nursing Home Limited</em>, 2012 CanLII 53919</a>,
a social worker at a nursing home claimed to have been harassed and
reprised against by the home’s new Administrator. The conduct complained
of included shouting at meetings in front of co-workers, the issuance
of writing warnings for sub-standard performance, and the imposition of
“unrealistic workloads”, including attempts by the Administrator to
impose stricter note-keeping requirements following interactions with
patients. The Administrator was also alleged to have ordered the
applicant to work harder and longer to get the job done. Ultimately, the
social worker’s employment was terminated.<br />
<br />
The OLRB dismissed the social worker’s reprisal complaint under s.50 of the <em>OHSA, </em>distinguishing
between conduct that constitutes workplace harassment and that which
can be characterized as performance management. The Board noted that
workplace harassment is defined under the <em>OHSA</em> as the act of
“engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against a worker
that is known or ought reasonable to be known to be unwelcome.”
Therefore, conduct that could constitute workplace harassment includes
comments that demean, ridicule, intimidate or offend, bullying, or
advances of a sexual nature. That kind of behavior must be
distinguished from managerial conduct that otherwise falls within a
manager’s normal work functions, <u><em>even if</em></u> the worker
suffers unpleasant consequences. <br />
<br />
The Board held: “…the reality is that
sometimes the exercise of management functions results in unpleasant
consequences for workers. That does not necessarily translate into
workplace harassment.” In this case, while some of the Administrator’s
conduct could be characterized as blunt and unflattering, it did not
constitute “harassment”. <br />
<br />
The worker’s reprisal allegation that she had
been dismissed because she complained of harassment by the
Administrator, contrary to s.50 of the <em>OHSA,</em> was dismissed.<br />
<br />
This decision should assist workplace parties to differentiate between
conduct that could give rise to harassment allegations under the <em>Occupational Health and Safety Act</em> or Ontario’s <em>Human Rights Code</em>,<em> </em>and that which forms a normal part of management of the workplace.<br />

(with a straight face) that Quebec gained 23,300 part-time jobs during the
month of October while Ontario lost 39,800 part-time jobs in the same one month
period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Was there a barista boom in
Quebec and a corresponding coffee crash in Ontario? Certainly Quebec students did
not all rush out and find part-time jobs in October to start paying for their
education. Education in Quebec is practically free! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Notwithstanding the low tuition, they think they
shouldn’t have to pay regardless.</span></div>

any reasonable explanations for this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m

<b>Resume and Profile Search Engine Optimization</b><br />
Job boards and social media have totally changed the game for job seekers and recruiters. Understanding search engine optimization (SEO) can give you the upper hand when developing
your on-line profile and resume.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9JByVpALw73j57wKE8rhtUH9qQfbuF55Ms5bKnDkJHY6L_jZ_hSLfqqPU35coR-j-R6HCNqbvY_2o9cQylivqe7Xe2ISPBq1MCGVBAc5s9aARGP6JYW8TOkcDiRKziJ4FRyaf/s1600/stand-out.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9JByVpALw73j57wKE8rhtUH9qQfbuF55Ms5bKnDkJHY6L_jZ_hSLfqqPU35coR-j-R6HCNqbvY_2o9cQylivqe7Xe2ISPBq1MCGVBAc5s9aARGP6JYW8TOkcDiRKziJ4FRyaf/s400/stand-out.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>

There are over 175 million users on Linkedin. More than 5 million are Canadian. Hundreds of job candidates may apply for the job that you want and so you need to get out of the clutter. Here
are a few tips that will help you to stand out from the crowd and increase your chances of being found.<br />
<br />
<b>Tip #1 - Key Words </b><br />
<br />
Most
employers use search engines and indexed database technology to find matching words and phrases
contained within a resume or online profile. It is very important that your resume and <a href="http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/5884/5-Steps-to-an-Optimized-LinkedIn-Profile.aspx" target="_blank">Linkedin profile</a> contain the words and
phrases that employers will most likely use in their search and filtering process. Try using several different ways to describe your skills, knowledge, experience and job titles. For example, when using acronyms, you should also use the full words. When writing your job title, try to use descriptive words in your job description that might match similar titles used within other companies. When describing your industry, use a variety of common terms that have similar meanings.<br />
<br />
For example, a human resources professional in the placement industry may use all these terms and phrases. (HR, H.R. Human Resources, Staffing, Recruit, Recruitment, Recruiter, Placement, Executive Search, Employment, Temporary Help, Temp Help, etc.)<br />
<br />
You never know what terms, phrases, acronyms or words that a recruiter will enter when conducting a search. If you can not use the words with a meaningful and properly structured sentence then just create a section at the bottom of your profile called "Key Words" and list your words separated by a comma. This is a very acceptable and understood on-line protocol. <br />
<br />
<b>Tip #2 - .doc File Format</b><br />
<br />
Employers
use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to store and sort the resumes and
the applications they receive. Most ATS are capable of handling Microsoft
word .doc or .docx file formats but many have difficulty handling resumes in
other formats such as PDF, wpd, html and other standards. These other
formats may have their advantages but not when attaching your resume to
an on-line application form. If the words and phrases within your resume
cannot be extracted by the ATS then you run the risk that your
application will never be seen by a real person. Always submit your
resume in the world's most common format. <br />
<br />
<b>Tip #3 - People Contact Trumps All </b><br />
<br />
The unspoken problem with on-line systems and social media is that they make it easy to avoid real human interaction.
In the end, people hire people. The entire purpose of on-line applications, digital resumes or social networks is to efficiently figure out who you need to talk to. Your resume or profile is just a means to an end. Stay focused on the end goal by figuring out who the HR or hiring manager is and send
them a personal note pointing out that you have applied on-line. Include
a professional letter that contains information that will motivate them
to bypass the computer sorting process and go directly to your
application. Try to make contact in person, over the phone or by email. Go for the close or "Call to Action". Your email or voice message should always propose dates and times for a telephone conversation or meeting. Always repeat and provide easily accessible contact information. If a decision maker has to go back to open your profile, read your resume or take any extra step to call you then you may have squandered an opportunity to connect in person.<br />
<br />
We
frequently hear people talk about how lucky or unlucky they are in
their job search. Luck has nothing to do with it. "The smarter you work, the luckier you'll get" and "It's not what you know, its who you know. "<br />
