Manufacturing Takes Flight

Manufacturing Takes Flight Manufacturing Takes Flight Manufacturing Takes Flight.mb-2 margin-bottom 12pxWalk across the spotlessly clean and well-lit floors of Pratt Whitneys 1 1000000-square-foot manufacturing plant in North Berwick, Maine, and youll pass by dozens of closed-door CNC machines, each the size of a large refrigerator. The machines quietly whir and hum as they turn, mill and grind finished parts for the companys Geared Turbofan jet engines. Robotic arms easily lift and stack heavy gears. Shop-floor workers who once did the dirty work and heavy lifting barely touch the parts. Instead, they operate the machines, usually with a push of a button, monitor their health and progress, and oversee the automated processes. Welcome to the New Age of Manufacturing.Manufacturing specialists rely on integrated software systems to monitor the health and performance of CNC machines. Image Pratt WhitneyFive years ago, none of the machines were here. Today, they are essential to Pratt Whitneys Industry 4.0 initiative, a $200 million capital investment program over the past five years to improve overall productivity and meet increased demand for its commercial and military jet engines. This shift marks a major transformation from the labor-intensive manual processes that once defined manufacturing to those that are now digitized and automated. The changes here helped PW improve key metricsproduction volume, quality assurance, labor reduction, cycle time, to name a fewby up to 65 percent, depending on the team and the part theyre working on. In this new world, companies not only have to update the schrifts of machines and systems they use to remain competitive, but they also have to change the way they recruit, hire, and train the engineers and technicians who work on them.PWs North Berwick Aero Systems Plant, with its ongoing implementation of new machines and processes, and an aggressive hiring strategy that has attracted a new type of engineer, is a microcosm o f those changes. To better understand them and how they impact the future of engineering and manufacturing, just spend a few minutes with robotics specialist Jeff Lemke and his deburring machine.Recommended for You A Special Report on ManufacturingNew Machines, New Employees, New FutureA contractor with IT placement firm RGBSI, Lemke was brought in last February to program the robotic deburrer. A few months ago, he stood in the workstation, or cell, with Mac McCluskey, a manufacturing engineer technician who has worked at PW for 38 years and now oversees the operation of the machine. Lemke is tall, thin and relatively quiet. He looks the part of a programmer. McCluskey, on the other hand, is stocky and barrel-chested. He speaks with the ease and confidence of a 40-year shop-floor veteran. Despite the contrast, the two men work well together, communicate easily, and share a common respect for the different skills each brings to the table.Thats the type of teamwork PW is trying to pro pagate on the shop floor as it partners an influx of new hires, many of them digitally savvy with varying degrees of experience in new technologies and manufacturing processes, with veteran machinists and laborers, who over the years have helped to build the aviation giant into what it is today. As the company strives over the next seven years to fill nearly 20,000 positions expected to open due to retirement or created through Industry 4.0 initiatives, PWs future relies on these two sides working together as they learn and implement new manufacturing technologies. Examples of that, and the transition they illustrate, are on display at many of the cells spread across the shop floor.Take the robotic deburring cell. Before PW acquired the machine, a team of six highly skilled laborers manually deburred turbine casings. They used their eyes and sense of touch to identify a raised or unnecessarily sharp edge, an unwanted piece of material, or other imperfection left on the part after it was manufactured. Each piece took six hours to manually grind and polish. The team finished about 30 a month. Ergonomics, lacerations, and consistency were always an issue. Today, the only time a technician like McCluskey touches the turbine casing is to load and remove it from the machine.Meanwhile, Lemke adjusts the machine for accuracy and consistency, and programs its visual guidance system to precisely identify the orientation, position, and shape of the part being deburred. He also tweaks the formula of the liquid abrasive the machine uses to autonomously grind and remove the burrs. Each part takes about two hours to deburr. The machine never suffers from sore muscles or cut skin. Quality consistency has improved by up to 90 percent.PW employs three robotics specialists in the North Berwick plant. Veteran employees like McCluskey, those who have successfully transitioned into Industry 4.0 practices, understand how important the new machines, processes, and job titles are to t he future of PW and the areas economy.We need mora engineers like Jeff, McCluskey said. When they bring in mora robots, theyll need mora programmers. Theres no question that both are coming. Employees and pundits in other industries might worry about automation eliminating workers. leid McCluskey. He sees them as creating new opportunities.A huge misnomer of robots is that they eliminate jobs, he said. An entry-level deburrer will be able to learn robotics and go onto different, more important jobs in the shop. Its not replacing workers, but enhancing entry-level employees.Lemke, who represents the new type of engineer that PW is looking for, makes that happen. These new engineers are comfortable working across disciplines. They embrace technology and are willing to learn about new ones. They can quickly analyze data and use it to make real-time decisions. They can solve problems by thinking on their feet instead of slogging through a manual. By tweaking and optimizing the robotic d eburrer, for example, Lemke improved its performance by a factor of two, said Mike Newsky, a 33-year PW veteran. As associate director of manufacturing and industrial engineering, he oversees 140 people at the North Berwick plant. Equipment suppliers are always trying to hire him because he does such a good job, Newsky said. He does stuff they cant.Lemke also does the stuff that PW needs as it transitions into the future. Hes adjusted the program so that any operator can walk up to it, push a button and operate the machine, Newsky said. He makes sure the process can be groe nachfrage by anyone who walks up to the machine.Newsky said he needs more people like that in North Berwick. In fact, all of PW does.Looking for a New Type of EngineerLast spring, PW president Bob Leduc said as much while speaking to the media at United Technologies Digital, a modern office with an open layout that overlooks the East River in Brooklyns hip DUMBO neighborhood. Its where United Technologies, PWs pa rent company, develops digital technologies, including analytics, diagnostic, and predictive software and other enterprise applications. The environment was an apt setting for Leducs announcement, one of many company executives make to not only let the world know PW is hiring but that this new, clean, digitized, and automated environment is much different than how most people think of yesterdays manufacturing. PW has already hired more than 7,000 employees over the last several years for jobs in its plants, including those in Maine and Connecticut. About 2,000 of those were engineers. Today, many have learned skills and work in roles not traditionally associated with the core discipline they studied in school.About 10 years ago, PWs biggest need was mechanical engineers and their foundation in aerodynamic, thermal, and structural engineering, Leduc said. While those traditional skills are still needed, PW is looking for and willing to train a new breed of engineer. They might come i n with some digital or advanced manufacturing knowledge, but the most attractive candidates have demonstrated a big desire to learn new technologies and processes, communicate those with others, and willingly accept new responsibilities and roles.Katie Wenner is one of them. She graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2017 with a degree in mechanical engineering and now works in PWs Manufacturing Engineering Development Program, one of six undergraduate leadership programs PW offers promising young engineers, technicians, and other workers. She was teamed with veteran Bob Francoeur on a five-axis CNC machine used for turning, milling, and deburring parts. Machines like this reduce cycle times by 60 percent and labor by 75 percent. Conventional machining processes used to deliver about 20 parts each per month. Each new machine now finishes between 40 and 60.Many of those efficiencies can also be attributed to the ProLink statistical process control software that PWs engineers and technicians like Wenner use to monitor in real-time the performance and health of the machines. The statistics constantly scroll across multiple monitors in the cells. The software automatically creates spreadsheets, databases, and other reports that engineers use to optimize overall production. All of that used to be done with pen and paper, a process that took up tons of time and was susceptible to error.It helps in all the automation that were doing, said Dale Doucette, a process certification technician, who was working in a cell near Wenners that finished heat shields for turbine casings. There are fewer mistakes and higher output, he said. Since integrating the software, production of the parts increased 50 percent, Doucette said.Wenner spends her days learning the process of developing finely tuned parts and then sharing and communicating those processes with other workers. The job requires soft skillslike communications and the ability to gain the trust of a variety of people working at different levels that are increasingly important to the company. You have to properly communicate this information to the machine operators, said Wenner, who plans to work at PWs engine production and assembly center in Middletown, Conn., sometime this year. No one here can work in a vacuum. Not one part knows the entire operation.That might be true, but PW offers its promising engineers, technicians, and operators the opportunity to work across many of the companys divisions and, eventually, up the ladder. With Industry 4.0 we cant train our engineers fast enough, Newsky said, adding that one of the most difficult aspects of these new roles is staying current with all of the latest technologies. Its continuous learning and continuous training, he said. Its about engaging your people to feel comfortable making decisions, taking on risks, and learning from mistakes.Not Your Fathers Idea of ManufacturingTo find those new engineers and techniciansa search made more di fficult by the tight labor marketPW has expanded its multi-prong hiring initiative, including a big push to increase its involvement and tighten its relationships with the areas vocational technical schools, community colleges, and universities. PW looks for schools with courses focused on advanced manufacturing and Industrial Internet of Things concepts, such as additive manufacturing, robotics, AI, networking, and data analytics.For an idea of where PW is looking for its talent, walk off the shop floor and head to a small conference room at the end of a hallway that houses the human resources offices. A map of the United States hangs on the wall. A heavy cluster of colored pins sprout from Maine and New Hampshire. Smaller clusters sprout from the other New England states. About 32 blue pins mark the areas technical high schools and about 45 red pins identify community colleges. Two green pins stick out from the crowd, marking the University of Maine and the University of New Hamps hire, two schools with strong engineering programs. This is just the beginning, Lorraine Marcotte, PWs communications director said, regarding PWs new strategy. Weve done a lot of recruiting, but not this type of targeting.As part of its partnering, recruiting, and zurckhalten efforts, the company offers internships, co-op jobs, scholarships, program gifts, education reimbursement, collaboration on senior projects, and other incentives. Despite the high security concerns of a company that works so closely with the military, PW is hosting more open-house events to let area educators, guidance counsellors, and students see what the new type of manufacturing is all about. PW execs and engineers sit on the schools advisory boards and, among other things, share with each other the types of courses they might add or trends they should explore to better prepare their students for Industry 4.0 careers.PW has always had a strong reputation in the area as a good employer. So good, in fact, th at born-and-bred Mainers who have earned a reputation for shunning outsiders make a major exception for people from Connecticut because PWs main headquarters are in East Hartford. The areas other major manufacturers, such as Bath Iron Works and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, as well as a handful of important tech companies in and around Portland, Maine, also have good reps. But PW, locals said, takes the extra step in nurturing local partnerships and treating its employees well.I think PW has done really well at reaching out. They are one of the companies that comes back and really drives the relationship, said Brad Kinsey, department chair and professor of mechanical engineering at the University of New Hampshire, who was quick to note that PW made several substantial gifts and scholarships related to the departments new John Olson Advanced Manufacturing Center. Not all companies are willing to sign up to that level that they have signed up for.The Need for AutomationWhen Dana Hump hrey became dean of engineering at the University of Maine in Orono 12 years ago, the first manufacturer he visited was PW. Despite a handful of important manufacturers that are much closer to his campus, Humphrey visits PW the most. Given the close relationship between the school and the company, he takes pride in seeing first-hand PWs Industry 4.0 transformation and knowing that so many of his graduates, on both the manufacturing and design sides, have played integral roles in that transition. Its also gratifying, he said, to see how accepting, embracing, and leveraging major changes in industry, no matter how disruptive, benefits a community, a state, and a nation.Automation allows American manufacturing to be more cost competitive, he said. Look at companies like Pratt Whitney. Theyre creating more opportunities for employees, not less. The more cost competitive you are, the more products you can create and the more work you generate. Its an upward spiral. Adult workers need th e opportunity to be trained in these skills, and you need new entrees, like high school graduates, integrated into this type of work. These are great jobs.Jeff OHeir is ASME.orgs senior content manager and producer of ASME TechCast, a new podcast brought to you by the editors of ASME.org and Mechanical Engineering magazine.Also read Special Report on Manufacturing For Further Discussion

Gibson Dunn Lawyers On Choosing Transactional Law

Gibson Dunn Lawyers On Choosing Transactional LawGibson Dunn Lawyers On Choosing Transactional LawGibson, Dunn Crutcher associate Saee Muzumdar caught up with corporate partners Barbara Becker, who heads the firms MA group, and Rashida La Lande, NY hiring partner, for a discussion about why they chose to be corporate lawyers and some of the benefits of transactional work.From Left,Saee Muzumdar,Barbara Becker, andRashida La Lande.Saee Law school is relatively litigation (or at least case law) focused- what drew you to transactional work?Barbara I had tried litigation as a summer associate- I thought I wanted to be a first amendment litigator I worked on a fabulous high profile case, but even though the assignment was interesting, the nature of the work felt too much to me like a continuation of school and I was ready for something different. I tried corporate work and it was a natural fit. I very much enjoy working in teams, and collaborating with colleagues both at Gibson Dunn and the client, to achieve our clients goals.Saee Ive found that transactional work experience can produce a wide range of future work opportunities outside a law firm. Can you talk a little bit about some of the careers former colleagues of yours have gone on to? What kind of roles have you been able to help corporate associates obtain?Barbara The skills you learn as a corporate lawyer, including analysis of complex legal issues (and relating such issues to particular clients and deals), information synthesis, people management and communication to a geschftliches miteinander audience, allow lawyers to transfer easily into lots of jobs outside a law firm. Over the years, colleagues of ours have gotten fabulous jobs as in-house lawyers at corporations and investment banks, and many have transitioned to the business side of transactions at PE/hedge funds or head of strategy/business development at companies.Rashida I couldnt agree more. MA in particular gives you the opportunity to focus on and understand not only the legal aspects of a transaction, but also the financial aspects. You come to learn the key drivers of growth and risk for your clients and different types of businesses, which skills are invaluable for a broad scope of non-law firm jobs.At Gibson Dunn, because our system permits associates to remain unassigned for the first two years of practice, and because thereafter we have a free market system, associates tend to get a broad perspective of transactional work and issues relevant to corporations, which makes them highly sought after for in-house corporate positions.Some recent examples that come to mind include a senior associate who transitioned with the firms assistance to becoming the general counsel for a boutique investment bank, a former associate who has gone on to become the general counsel of a small energy company, a mid-level associate who recently left for a VP job at a hedge fund, and another mid-level associate that the firm assisted in placing at a senior legal position at a multinational media conglomerate.Saee Obviously none of those kinds of external opportunities appealed to you What are some of the fruchtwein interesting deals you have worked on? What factors led you to stay at Gibson Dunn to make partner?Barbara The intellectual challenge as well as the ability to work with smart people (who I really like) is what keeps me at the firm. We get to work on a companys most strategic and challenging transactions and collaborate with clients, both the in-house lawyers and the business teams, to come up with creative solutions to complex problems. I especially like working on cross-border deals where different cultures and legal regimes come into play. For example, organs acquisition of Cadbury was a particularly interesting transaction both from a business perspective and also because of the complications associated with coordinating different legal regimes to achieve our clients objective.In addition, I enjoy he lping to build a practice, which involves client development but also developing a team within the firm that includes our youngest lawyers as well as experts in different areas across all of our offices.Finally, I think one aspect that law students may overlook is that we give our lawyers the flexibility to manage their careers and their own schedules. Although we are all responsive to clients and the requirements of the being a partner at a large law firm, I have a tremendous amount of flexibility in creating my schedule and managing competing demands for my time.Saee Thats a very good point, I know each of you has 4 children- without sounding overly clich, how are you able to have it all?Barbara The firm is an incredibly supportive place, not just for women and mothers but for all of our lawyers and staff. As I said before, the benefit of working at a law firm is the flexibility to generally manage your schedule and beyond that, the firm has provided me with opportunities to conti nue to build a successful practice while maintaining a high-quality family life.Saee What type of person do you think would enjoy transactional work? You have both been the hiring partner for GDCs NY office, what characteristics make recruits stand out in interview?Rashida The nature of transactional, and particularly MA, work tends to draw people who enjoy math more than your stereotypical lawyer because you are so integrally involved in the business/financial aspects of the deal. In my experience, the most successful MA lawyers are the ones who understand the big picture and enjoy putting deals together. This requires broader thinking and the ability to see the forest through the trees without getting bogged down in details. You often hear the analogy of the MA lawyer as the quarterback- the job requires you to synthesize information from various experts around the firm, apply it to the clients business and the deal at hand, and come up with workable (and legal) solutions to deal- issues.In addition to looking for candidates that are smart and enthusiastic, I look for people that have common sense and a good way with clients/people. We of course want people who have done their homework about the firm and are excellent communicators. I tend to think law students that are proactive, thoughtful, entrepreneurial, and enjoy problem-solving make successful lawyers at Gibson Dunn.This is a sponsored blog post from Gibson, Dunn Crutcher.

One Reason to NOT Take a Job

One Reason to NOT Take a Job One Reason to NOT Take a Job 2 What was the readers reason to NOT take a job? The job has all the hallmarks of one that might not last. Our reader, Tom W., a senior energy engineer from Oregon, isnt speaking off the cuff- he actually has some experience in this area. Heres what Tom had to say. On taking two jobs that both fizzled quickly: In my case, Ive encountered this situation twice in the last two years. I signed on for two jobs in a row that paid great salaries, but didnt endure. The first job lasted 13 months before the company tanked and I got laid off. I was unemployed and looking for work for five months before taking the second job, which paid in the six figures but required a helluva weekly commute (back and forth 550 miles each way between Portland and the Bay Area). The second job lasted only 11 months, and it’s been followed by a long period of unemployment, currently cresting (hopefully) now at nine months. Why a high salary may not always be a good thing: The lesson learned (for me anyway) is that for every job offer you tendered, you have to add ALL the months of employment together with the subsequent months of unemployment to come up with an equivalent average monthly salary. So, 12 months of employment at $90k per year, followed by six months of unemployment at $0 per month (18 months total) is actually equivalent to an annual salary of only $60k (calculated as   = ($90k / 18 months) x 12]. How to gauge the risks of taking a job that might not last: My point being that you can’t know in advance whether a job will last, but you can gauge the risks and estimate accordingly what your true salary is likely to be. Of course, foregoing a job offer assumes you have other alternatives in the hopper. Either way, you have to assess carefully the pros of taking a job against the cons of giving it a miss. Our big thanks to Tom for sharing his story and advice with us and our job seekers! Readers, whats your one reason to not take a job? Let us know in the comments below!

Jobscan Case Study Baylor University Hankamer School of Business

Jobscan Case Study Baylor University Hankamer School of Business Jobscan Case Study Baylor University Hankamer School of Business Using Jobscan to bridge the gap between the career and curriculum 81% employed or grad school 90 days after graduation at the undergraduate level95% employed 90 days after graduation at the graduate level100% usage by their students in career focused classes30% or more recruiter calls after using Jobscan “Jobscan is one of the highest rated career resources used by our students. Students easily grasp the capabilities and are quick to utilize it in every job and internship application they submit. Students see quick improvement in their application success and the process improves the students understanding of properly and professionally fitting their resumes to each opportunity.” Assistant Dean, Baylor University Career Center, Ken Buckley About Baylor The Baylor University Career Center takes a no-nonsense approach to career development. Each coming to Baylor from the private sector, Kenneth Buckley, Assistant Dean; Michael Estepp, Director; and Jeffrey Stubbs, Director, seek out innovative solutions to complex career challenges that face college students today. Jobscan was immediately recognized as a “game-changer” for enhancing students’ career development and overall placement success. In 2016, Baylor University became Jobscan’s first university customer. Through Jobscan’s resume optimization tool, students learn about practical job search strategies like how to navigate applicant tracking systems and tailor their resume to each job. Taking Career Development Into the Classroom In order to get the most out of Jobscan (and the other tools at their disposal), the career team at Baylor developed two degree-required courses at the graduate and undergraduate level that introduced business students to the concepts of overall career development. Sophomore and Junior business students enroll each semester in BUS 2101 Career Assessment and Discovery and BUS 3101 Strategy and Success courses. In these courses, students cover career discovery, resume development and personal branding, effective internship and job search, interviewing, negotiations, and understanding how to make a positive impact on the job. In the resume development process the students are given an assignment requiring them to tailor their newly developed resume to three different jobs utilizing Jobscan. The students must get a 60% or higher resume match rate from Jobscan in order to pass the assignment. To make grading simple, students upload screenshots of their before and after match reports to Canvas, Baylor’s LMS. Most students have an initial match rate of 20%. The resume development process is significantly enhanced by the students efforts to rethink their accomplishments and experiences to show a stronger fit to the opportunity. In the graduate level courses, MBAs utilize Jobscan a little differently. Estepp has a group of 3-4 students look at a job description and decide who would be the best fit for the role. Then, the students scan the top candidate’s resume against the job description. Typically, they won’t score more than a 30% match on their first scan. “It’s eye opening to the students and surprising, but it only makes them realize there is much more to be done when it comes to tailoring their resumes,” said Estepp. The Results “We’re seeing easily 30% or more increase in calls from recruiters when our students use Jobscan to tailor their resumes,” reported Stubbs. Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business has a 100% knowledge rate for their First Destination survey. In 2018, Hankamer reported 81% of their undergraduates were employed or going to grad school within 90 days of graduation. In 2018, they also saw a 95% employment rate for their MBA program within 90 days of graduation. “We’re very proud of our success,” said Estepp. “We know that career tools like Jobscan can provide significant influence on a student’s career success. In addition this specialized career resource provides a force multiplier for our professional career staff.” More Resources To learn more about Baylor’s career success strategies and integrating on campus, we highly recommend checking out their book College to the Career You Love, 4th edition from Kendall Hunt Publishing, a textbook featuring their best practices. Amanda Ostrove brings Jobscan’s resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn optimization tools to universities to help their students beat the resume black hole.

Its Time to Say Goodbye to Work Stress and Live

It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Work Stress and Live It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Work Stress and Live It’s Time to Say Goodbye to Work Stress and Live By Jenny C. Evans, author of THE RESILIENCY rEVOLUTION: Your Stress Solution For Life 60 Seconds at a Time(Wise Ink Creative Publishing) Its quite likely this year held some challenging moments for you professionally, personally or both. Its also possible the tools you used to cope actually made things worse, not better. Perhaps you found yourself staying up late or waking up early to get work done. In an attempt to create time in a hectic schedule, you might have skipped meals or workouts. There were long stretches of time where you had to sit motionless and maintain concentration in a meeting, at your desk, on an airplane or in a car. Its time to say goodbye to workplace stressfor good.The key to dealing with your stress successfully, having better energy, and becoming more productivewill hinge on looking at stress in a new and different way. Its not something thats just in your headits in your body. Stress is a physical event that radically changes your chemistry and physiology. Understanding these changes helps prevent and mitigate its negative side effects. Here are some of our typical responses to stress, why they make things worse, and what to do instead. 1. You sacrifice sleep to get things done. Its tempting to trade sleep for extra hours of productivity, but lack of sleep arouses the area of our brains responsible for the fight or flight response. It also inhibits portions of the brain relating to restoring balance and calm. (McEwen, B. 2002) Sleep deprivation also increases hunger and body fat levels, specifically around the bodys mid-section. Not only can this abdominal fat be psychologically stressful, it also increases our risk of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and even premature death. (Epstien, L. 2008.) And unfortunately these disease states make our stress even worse. Resiliency Remedy: Keep to a regular sleep cycle and aim to get between 7-9 hours each night. We can get by on less, but sleep is one of the best tools we have for the body to recover from stress. 2. You skip meals because youre too busy to eat. When we skip meals or go too long without eating, blood glucose (a form of sugar the body uses for energy from many of the foods we eat) drops. When theres not enough glucose, the body thinks a famine is occurring, the stress response is stimulated and the body secretes cortisol. Cortisol puts us into food seeking mode to get much needed energy into the body, and makes us eat large amounts of high-fat, high-sugar foods. It stores much of this extra energy in the fat cells around our abdominal regions for the next glucose emergency. Resiliency Remedy: Keeping blood glucose levels in the ideal range stops the stress response from being stimulated. Minimize stress by eating about every 3 hours. Alternate between moderate sized meals (breakfast is a must) and small snacks high in fiber, healthy fats and/or lean protein. 3. You skip your workout because you dont have time. When the demands of our lives increase, we look for things to cut to reduce our levels of stress. Exercise is often the first to go. Unfortunately this is one of the worst coping strategies we can make. Stress hormones are specifically designed to fuel a short burst of intense physical activity fighting and/or fleeing. When we get this type of activity, it burns them off and releases a new class of hormones that restore balance and neutralize the negative consequences of stress. When we dont get this type of exercise, were stuck stewing in our stress hormones. Resiliency Remedy: The good news is just 30-60 seconds of intense exercise produces the hormones that restore balance. (Brooks, S. et al 1988, Schwarz, L. et al 1990, Schwarz, L. et al 1992) Sprint up a flight of stairs, or do a few jumping jacks or burpees. Shorts bursts hit the physiological reset button on stress and make a big difference when accumulated throughout the day. They also train the body to recover from stress more quickly and efficiently. 4. You sit for long periods of time. Sitting is the new smoking. It increases risk of death, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose and body fat. (Stamatakis, E., et al, 2011) Think a workout negates it? It doesnt. Sitting for most of the day cancels out the effects of an exercise session. (Matthews, CE. et al, 2012) Also, tension builds the longer we sit while energy and metabolism slow. Resiliency Remedy: Several times during the day take a minute or two to move your body. Set your laptop on a cardboard box to stand and type, do some stretching to release muscular tension and stress, on the phone = on your feet, or conduct walking meetings when in small groups.

7 totally normal ways to set boundaries with your work friends

7 totally normal ways to set boundaries with your work friends 7 totally normal ways to set boundaries with your work friends Having friends at work can improve your overall office experience. Just having someone to eat lunch with or talk to before a big meeting can make your days seem shorter and more meaningful.But regardless of how well you get along with someone at work or how close you think you are, you have to remember that she is your coworker. Creating boundaries for workplace friendships can be difficult, but they are necessary. Think about it: Keeping a little distance can prevent you from sneaky unwanted repercussions on your professional life, like an embarrassing secret getting out or a bad reputation forming around your blurred lines.We’ve outlined a few easy steps for preventing your workplace friendship from crossing dangerous boundaries you definitely want to avoid. You know, without it being super awkward. You don’t need to wear a “keep away” sign. Just do these things.1. Don’t gossipWhile gossiping about other colleagues can be tempting, avoid doing so with your workplace frien d. She could have a relationship with the other coworker you are mentioning, which could cause friction between you, your friend, and said coworker. But even worse, you could get the reputation as an untrustworthy employee, or worse, the office gossip.2. Don’t bad mouth your bossOr any superiors, for that matter. Frankly, you shouldn’t be bad-mouthing anyone at work, but you should especially avoid saying negative things about those who could, uhm, fire you? While we all feel the need to vent about work every once in a while, do so on your own time. Talk about your frustrations with your friends, family, or spouse - essentially anyone who isn’t employed by your company!3. Be cautious about divulging personal informationAs cool as your work friend may seem, she may not take kindly to the fact that you were out at a concert until 2 AM the night before work, regardless of how well you’re functioning that day. Every person has different hobbies, interests and lifestyles â€" and they may not understand those of others. Try to maintain a divide between your work life and your personal life. Talk about light things, like your cute cat or her obsession with chocolate.4. Be cautious about posting on social mediaIf your work friend follows you on social media, beware of what you post and how it could reflect on you as an employee. While screenshots and screen-recordings are amazing technological developments, they can also be used against you.5. Be clear about remaining unbiasedYour work friend should never assume you will take her side in meetings or support a professional venture of hers simply because you’re friends. And you shouldn’t assume she’ll behave this way, either. Make sure you treat her the same way you treat your other colleagues.6. Be realistic about your relationshipConsider the most negative outcome possible: a falling-out. Never reveal information you wouldn’t want to be used against you if your friendship ended on bad terms. Don’t f orget to put your career first and protect your position at the company, along with your professional relationship with your boss and other colleagues. Use caution in your interactions and realize it might not work out.7. Be professionalThe most important rule is to always maintain your professionalism. If you’re questioning whether or not to act a certain way with your work friend, the answer is probably no. And on that note â€" don’t drink too much alcohol around them! Come on, everyone.A version of this post previously appeared on  Fairygodboss, the largest career community that helps women get the inside scoop on pay, corporate culture, benefits, and work flexibility.

How to keep your mental health in check at the office

How to keep your mental health in check at the office How to keep your mental health in check at the office The other week, as I was trying to catch a Lyft in the rain, the person I was with cheekily commented that I had “learned how to walk.” What they meant is that I had learned how to walk like a New Yorker. If you’ve been in the city, you know it: quickly, leaning forward, and on the right.As someone who intentionally leaves for out of office meetings a few minutes earlier than other people so I don’t have to walk with New Yorkers, my smell-the-roses Texan persona felt shook.While I love this city, I’m constantly pushing back at it, especially where work/life balance is concerned. What’s valued in an Austin workspace isn’t the same thing that’s valued in NYC, and thus I’ve had to adjust. But some habits, I refuse to let go of.As I’ve grown in my professional career, I’ve learned the hard way that if you don’t set boundaries, people will take as much as they absolutely can from you.Here are some ways I guard my time and stay sane in the startup world:1. Reserving the first hour of the day for your agenda, and no one else’s.If I can help it, I don’t schedule any meetings before 10 AM. I may scan my email quickly to make sure I’m not missing a crisis, but otherwise, the first hour of the day is reserved for me checking in on my projects on Asana and setting my to-do’s for the next eight hours. Figuring out what my priorities are first, allows me to then compromise in a more balanced way when others come to me with their own priorities that they need my assistance on.2. Keeping your phone in do not disturb mode.Being protective of my time means being protective of the energy that I exhibit and that I choose to intake. Productivity does not lend itself to a full and scattered brain. This is why I keep my phone in a permanent state of DND- I also don’t actively check my email. I check both once an hour, or every two. My philosophy being if it’s an emergency anyways, you’ll call or come right up to me in the office.3. Stepping away from your desk for lunch, ICYMI: It’ll be there for you when you get back.This isn’t just some woo-hoo practice, there are legitimate science-backed reasons on why you should take a breather. Sitting for hours on end has been proven to be unhealthy, and you can even use this hour as a means to work on your relationship with your colleagues or have a networking lunch.4. Automating as much as possible.Automating workflows can help you reach your goals faster, and gives you space to focus on other projects (time is money!). I use tools like Asana to project manage and be able to quickly see the lifecycle of a task and where it’s at in the pipeline, Later for scheduling Instagram posts, Buffer for scheduling all other social posts, Boomerang to schedule emails in advance, and IFTTT to push Google Alerts to Slack.5. Get a change in scenery.Stop trying to fight the 3 PM slump, instead: get up and get your blood pumping. Take a quick walk around the block, or if you have a standing d esk / elevated surface, work standing up.6. You can’t work your best, if you are not feeling the best.As a recovering workaholic, remembering this is what allows me to fully shut off once I walk out of the office. You weren’t hired to do your job in a single day, or in a single week. Meet your deadlines, get it done, but take care of yourself. If you’re stressed, running low on sleep, and in a constant gaslit state- there is no way you are going to be as creative or strategic as you need to be on the job.This article first appeared on Jopwell.

How to Prevent Your ATS from Working Against You

How to Prevent Your ATS from Working Against You How to Prevent Your ATS from Working Against You The first applicant tracking systems were developed in the early days of the Internet, when companies were eager to get the most out of technology. In their eagerness to build comprehensive systems, many ATS vendors and employers overcomplicated the application process by adding too many features without taking the user experience into account. The application process is the service part of a company’s employer brand â€" similar to the role of customer service, employers should make sure their online application process is aligned with the company’s values and does not turn qualified candidates away. It’s no different than when customer service organizations work to enhance the company brand by providing service representatives with scripts, behavior guidelines, etc. The Evolution of the Internet The web has evolved and so has user behavior. There has been a marked shift to mobile as millions of smartphones and tablets have been purchased by consumers: 51% of all time spent on digital media in the U.S. occurs on a smartphone or tablet (comScore). 51% of users open emails on mobile devices (Litmus). On a global basis, 64% of all internet users accessed the Internet via smartphone, and 28% via tablet (Global Web Index). Nearly one-third of all job search traffic at Simply Hired occurs on mobile devices. 52% of the email job alerts sent by Simply Hired are opened on mobile devices. As web usage shifts to mobile, users want to take their data with them, and be able to access it from any device. Cloud storage solutions have grown exponentially in the past several years. Dropbox, a popular cloud storage app, has 200 million users worldwide (Wall Street Journal). Google Drive, Google’s cloud storage service, has more than 120 million users. Google Drive users are required to have a Gmail or Google Apps account.  Gmail, with over 425 million users, is the top free email provider in the U.S., and increased its share significantly in 2013   (Litmus). Google Apps is used by more than five million businesses  and 66 of the top 100 universities.   This data indicates that ability to store documents (such as resumes and cover letters) in the cloud and access them from any device is now seen as a necessity rather than a convenience for many web users. They are also practical in their use of the web, viewing LinkedIn (with over 200 million users and growing at a rate of 2 users per second) as an online resume. The Impact of Device Proliferation and Cloud Storage on the Application Experience Users are highly attuned to redundancy and kinks in their online experience. They have come to expect ease-of-use after years of using products and services by companies that invest heavily in user experience testing (such as Google, Apple, and Facebook). Web users readily complain about problems they encounter in online reviews, forums, and on social media. Though they are likely to interact with your company only once â€" when they complete an online application â€" the ATS is an extension of your employer brand and should be treated as such.   A user-friendly job application experience through your ATS enhances your employer brand, positioning your company as efficient and respectful of the candidate’s time. A poor experience with an ATS can lead candidates to draw erroneous conclusions about what it’s like to work at your company. If your ATS asks for unnecessary or redundant information, provides insufficient options for the explanation of unusual life circumstances, or sends automated rejections minutes after scanning a resume for keywords, candidates can draw the following conclusions: “They are not technology-friendly.” “They must be really bureaucratic and inefficient.” “They are going to require too much of me.” “They are inflexible.” “They are just going to treat me like a number.”   How to Improve the Candidate Application Experience As the primary line of communication between your company and its next great employee, the ATS deserves special consideration. Here are some tips to help you create a candidate-friendly application experience. Take a self-audit of your own application process and compare it to other companies in your area. Do this for both mobile and desktop. Make a list of what information you are currently collecting from candidates. Categorize information into four buckets: 1. Absolutely necessary (name, contact information, work history, education, etc.) 2. Nice to have, but not necessary (e.g., college GPA) 3. Can be collected later (such as reference information or social security number) 4. Not at all necessary (e.g. exact dates of previous employment and graduations) Look at your company’s mission and values statements. If “Do more with less” is a core value, does the candidate experience support that? Consider how to align the candidate experience with the company’s core values. Measure and analyze: 1. Visits to your employer site by device type 2.  Application drop-off rate Consider integrating services like LinkedIn, Google Drive, and Dropbox into your application process. Below is an example of an online application that presents multiple options for resume upload. ?   In the coming weeks, we will continue to delve into the world of ATSes. Stay tuned as we examine specific hang-ups in the application process, including forcing candidates to lie and artificially disqualifying candidates.
