Getting Ahead

Congratulations on your "dry promotion" "Dry promotions" are becoming more common as companies face economic challenges, with 13% of companies using new job titles without pay raises to manage costs, according to a Pearl Meyer survey. This trend, which affects younger workers the most, can lead to burnout and retention issues, experts say. Full Story: USA Today (12/10)

Gen Z lacks practice communicating with older colleagues Research from LinkedIn shows that 20% of Gen Z workers have not had a direct conversation with colleagues over 50 in the past year, highlighting a gap in intergenerational communication. On the other end, 40% of workers over 55 have not spoken to Gen Z colleagues. LinkedIn's Charlotte Davies suggests reverse mentoring as a way to bridge this gap. Full Story: Yahoo (12/11)

HR should bridge Gen Z's "soft skills" gap, execs say Gen Z is poised to comprise a third of the workforce next year, but HR leaders face the challenge of bridging a soft skills gap, HR leaders and other executives say. Gen Z excels in digital skills and emotional intelligence but often lacks networking and negotiation abilities, according to workplace strategist Jennifer Moss. Full Story: WorkLife (12/11)

Reasons why employees are turning down promotions A significant number of workers are declining promotions, citing job satisfaction, feeling overworked or misalignment with career goals, according to a Randstad survey. Promotions have become rarer, with only 1.3% of white-collar workers promoted in early 2024, the lowest in five years, according to ADP data. Full Story: WRC-TV (Washington, D.C.) (12/11)

Making the Connection

3 things to try when a team member irks you Difficult co-workers can be challenging, but Kathleen Davis, host of "The New Way We Work" podcast, suggests several solutions, including inviting them to lunch or coffee to understand better what makes them tick or using "I" statements such as "I know we don't see eye-to-eye, can we work on ways to find common ground?" "Chances are your workplace jerk might be acting that way because of stress you're not aware of. It also might not be personal," Davis notes.

The Landscape

Banks increasingly attracting top tech talent Banks like JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley are becoming increasingly attractive to tech talent, traditionally drawn to companies like Google. The financial sector is aggressively hiring in AI and tech roles, offering job stability and opportunities for research and patents, drawing 22% of Cornell's 2023 computer science graduates. Banks are focusing on AI work and tech development, with leaders like Jamie Dimon investing in robust research departments to attract talent. Full Story: The Wall Street Journal (12/9)

Job postings open up to non-degree holders Job posting requiring college degrees declined this year, with only 17.6% demanding such qualifications as of October 2024, down from 20% in 2019, according to a new report from Indeed Hiring Lab. This shift, partly due to companies like IBM Corp. dropping degree requirements, offers more jobs to non-graduates but complicates job prospects for recent college grads, many of whom are underemployed.
