How to fight Recession Fatigue at WorkEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This recession has gone on long enough. Jobs are still scarce. Layoffs are still happening. While the end looks in sight one day, the next day it seems to disappear.Last fall, when the bottom fell out of our economy, anyone who still had a job was willing to do the work of three people. That person understood that their supervisor's bad mood was caused by stress.O.K., that was over a year ago and many people are still dealing with stressed out bosses and doing the work of three people. Others struggle with fear and anxiety over their job search process.Emotions are high: fear, panic and stress are in the air like the H1V1 ...

Recently, while finishing up delivering a talk in Silicon Valley, I found myself struck by a deep sense of dread. I hadn't brought enough copies of hand out materials for the unexpectedly large group. This meant that at any moment a small mob of otherwise friendly people might turn against me, driven to expressing mild rage from a sense of unfairness. It was enough to put me on edge for some time until I labeled what was going on.Fairness is the fifth and final domain of threat or reward I have written up in a series of posts, the others being Status, Certainty, Autonomy and Relatedness.

Medical practice revenues fell in 2008, possibly because of declining patient volumes and payments from people in financial hardship, according to the Medical Group Management Association. Medical practices responded by trimming overhead costs more than 1%, but that wasn't enough to offset shrinking revenues, the MGMA found in its 2009 practice cost survey. Multispecialty group practices saw a 1.9% decline in total medical revenue last year from 2008, with substantial drops in both the number of procedures and the number of patients. Bad debt in multispecialty group practices from fee-for-service charges increased 13% from...

Although pay-for-performance (P4P) is being widely adopted, little is known about how different P4P strategies affect provider payment.

We review hospitals’ P4P strategies and describe differences in payments by size of reward; payment differences between high- and low-performing providers; ability to reward improvement in the absence of high performance; and the percentage of payments based on performance. Bonuses vary considerably by payment strategy, which suggests that the strategy selected should vary depend...
