Heidi Clark By Heidi Clark, COO,CHO, Redfish Technology, Inc. Change. It’s something that we naturally resist and yet is a very important part of any organization.

The Jobs Report backed up this optimism last week; March’s payroll employment gained 216,000, higher than the 200,000 predicted. January & February revisions were also higher by 7,000. While this is below the approximately 300,000 jobs needed on a monthly basis for significant impact on the unemployment rate over the next 5 years, it does surpass the 150,000 needed to keep pace with population growth.
