De krapte op de arbeidsmarkt neemt toe. Een kwart van de Belgische bedrijven heeft een tekort aan personeel. Er zijn veel meer mensen nodig in het onderwijs, de logistiek, bouw ICT en zorg. Tegelijkertijd zijn migranten jongeren en andere kansengroepen massaal op zoek naar werk. Wie brengt ze samen?  De Turks-Koerdische migrant Hamdi Ulukaya laat in de aflevering 'Matchmakers in migratie' zien hoe hij het succes van zijn zuivelfabriek te danken heeft aan de nieuwkomers in Amerika.  Miljardair Hamdi Ulukaya (47) is de oprichter van het succesvolle zuivelbedrijf ‘Chobani’. In 1995 komt hij naar Amerika, om er bedrijfskunde en Engels te studeren. Vóór zijn succesvolle carrière als Chobani-oprichter runde Ulukaya een klein fetakaas-bedrijfje, op vier uur rijden van New York City. Chobani heeft een geschatte waarde van 1,5 miljard dollar. Toch is Ulukaya niet een alledaagse CEO: als zoon van een Koerdische herders-familie met een nomadisch bestaan, weet hij hoe belang...

Unplug While communication technology can promote productivity, it can also allow work stressors seep into family time, vacation and social activities. Set boundaries by turning off cell phones at dinner and delegating certain times t...

Hi guys, I'd like to think that I am a born sales woman. You too? Read the signs below and decide if it's true or not...  You’re naturally optimistic Success in sales oftentimes means overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, and the only type of people able to do that are those who are optimists by nature. If you don’t believe that tomorrow is going to be even better than today, sales probably isn’t a good fit for you. If you’re always looking at the bright side of every situation, you have one of the traits of a natural salesperson.   You don’t take “no” for an answer It takes a special type of person to keep pushing through after someone tells them “no.” All of the best salespeople see “no” as just a starting point for when the actual selling happens, so anyone who’s overly sensitive to rejection won’t make a great natural salesperson. If you spent your childhood successfully overcoming your teacher’s objections, maybe sales is right for you. You’re ver...
