LEARN MORE         Immigration: New Changes to H-1B Process, Visa Fees   The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) this month published two important final rules that impact employers: 1) A beneficiary-centric selection process for H-1B visa registrations. SHRM supports this new process because it promotes fairness and aligns with SHRM's workplace policy recommendations. 2) Higher fees associated with many employment-based petitions and applications, which will increase costs for employers and applicants.

In a related question, the largest segment of both HR and workers (40 percent) concurred that everyone in the organization shares a responsibility to create that positive experience.       HR and employees differ on  employee experience HR professionals and U.S. workers agreed on the four most important features that make up the employee experience (from a list of 20). But the order of those top four differed among both groups. While HR professionals believed that "feeling you are part of a team" is the No. 1 driver of a positive employee experience, workers only ranked that as the fourth highest. Workers ranked "treated fairly" as No. 1.       A positive experience and culture will increase job satisfaction Employees who say they are engaged in their work and feel good about their workplace culture are far more likely than those who are not to report high job satisfaction. Engaged workers are 5.6 times more likely to have high job satisfaction, while employees who work in a positive culture are 5.7 times more likely to have high job satisfaction.     SOURCE: THE CASE FOR EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE, SHRM RESEARCH, 2024.     PODCAST PERSPECTIVE 'Thoughtful Pacing': Embrace the AI Revolution Slowly, with Transparency and Training   In this recap of our February  People + Strategy podcast, the CHRO of global financial firm Capital Group shares her strategy for taking a measured but enthusiastic approach to rolling out GenAI tools in the workplace.  READ THE ARTICLE AND LISTEN TO THE PODCAST »       ANDREA GILL   CHRO of Capital Group     "MY JOB IS TO HELP EMPLOYEES EMBRACE [GENERATIVE AI] IN A WAY THAT FEELS HEALTHY AND DOESN'T INTRODUCE ANGST INTO THE ENVIRONMENT."         Connect with us on social!              1800 Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314 USA Contact Us | shrm.org/executive-network This email was sent to manojdole1.Architectural@blogger.com.
