				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of chasing the social media revolution? Do you wonder how Google manages to gain such fierce employee loyalty? We are too, so we&#8217;ve chased answers to these questions and more in our weekly blog roundup. This week, we&#8217;re looking at innovation from a government perspective, tips on how to take less time doing social media updates and a reverse mentor theory that you might not have seen before.</p>
<p>Most people would participate in the <a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/tip/Easy-social-media-tips-for-the-midmarket-you-can-start-following-today">social media revolution</a> except that it takes so freaking long. Here are 11 tips on <a href="http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/33438/11-Ways-to-Make-Social-Media-Marketing-Less-of-a-Time-Suck.aspx">how to use social media</a> without losing your entire day.</p>
<p>Venture capitalists and tech entrepreneurs are telling the U.S. government to focus on <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/blog/innovation/articles/20120810/02111919983/entrepreneurs-vcs-tell-white-house-to-focus-innovation-rather-than-ip-enforcement.shtml">more technological innovation</a> and less IP policing.</p>
<p>Top talent is attracted to unique working environments and none is more storied than Google&#8217;s corporate culture. Here&#8217;s a peek into how <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/08/08/heres-what-happens-to-google-employees-when-they-die/">Google takes care of its employees</a>&#8216; families after they go to the great search engine in the sky.</p>
<p>Harassment at tech conferences does matter, says Valerie Aurora, and here&#8217;s what the industry needs to do to stop harassing <a href="http://www.blogher.com/defcon-why-conference-harassment-matters?page=full">women at large tech events</a>.</p>
<p>Instead of worrying about who will <a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/news/2240102609/Capitalizing-on-the-generation-gap-with-millennials-in-the-workplace">mentor your millennial</a>s, perhaps you should consider finding a millennial to <a href="http://www.nextavenue.org/blog/why-you-need-reverse-mentor-work">mentor your older workforce</a>.</p>
<p>While Samsung has succeeded in defending itself from <a href="http://www.datamation.com/mobile-wireless/why-apples-smoking-gun-evidence-doesnt-prove-samsung-copied-1.html">Apple&#8217;s copyright infringement case</a>, the mobile giant is still a <a href="http://www.cultofmac.com/184056/proof-that-samsung-is-a-huge-apple-fanboy/">giant Apple fanboy</a>, claims Mike Elgan.</p>
<p>With Facebook&#8217;s waning stock price, is the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19241456">social media revolution</a> the next dot com bubble to burst?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millennials (sometimes called <a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/cio/living-with-the-toys-of-generation-y-in-the-workplace/">Generation Y</a>) are in high demand, especially in the <a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/news/2240036940/The-IT-roles-needed-for-the-IT-organization-of-the-future">IT world.</a> These talented young employees tend to be cheaper than seasoned IT professionals, often fresh out of college and full of bright ideas about cutting-edge technologies. With so many organizations chasing these young employees, however, CIOs are up against some stiff competition for Millennial talent.</p>
<p>While researching this week&#8217;s tip on <a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/tip/Retaining-Millennial-employees-What-you-need-to-know">retaining Millennial employees</a>, I spoke with Lisa Orrell, author of <em>Millennials Incorporated</em> and <em>Millennials into Leadership. </em>She feels that recruiting young employees should be at the top of every CIO&#8217;s priority list. &#8220;The smart companies are very actively recruiting and getting their infrastructure in place to hire more and more young people,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t having luck recruiting <a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/news/2240102609/Capitalizing-on-the-generation-gap-with-millennials-in-the-workplace">Millennials</a>, you might be overlooking one key resource: your <em>current</em> Millennials, who often feel that their co-workers are an important factor in their job satisfaction. &#8220;Take young employees that you would most want to clone and train them to reach out to people who are already employed,&#8221; suggested <a href="http://n2millennials.com/degraffenreid.html">Scott Degraffenreid</a>, an <span>analyst who specializes in corporate referrals, retention and recruiting. </span></p>
<p>In addition to helping to find new employees, this should also satisfy the <a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/podcast/CIO-looks-to-Millennial-generation-for-new-IT-business-alignment">young employees</a> already in your IT department. Not only will they contribute to finding new talent, but they will also typically choose other young employees who would be a good fit for your team.</p>
<p>Donald Shandler, author of <em>Motivating the Millennial Knowledge Worker, </em>has seen success with this tactic.<em> </em>&#8220;<a href="http://searchcio-midmarket.techtarget.com/news/2240102609/Capitalizing-on-the-generation-gap-with-millennials-in-the-workplace">Millennials</a> want to work with people whom they consider friends,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A lot of companies have incentive programs for Millennials to attract others, which works out well.&#8221;</p>
<p>Millennial Jeremy Baumgartner, <span>a systems engineer at SRC Technologies Inc. in DePere, Wis.,</span> agrees that his coworkers are the best part of his job. &#8220;It&#8217;s nice that I know literally everyone that works there. When we&#8217;re working together, it&#8217;s a lot more relaxed environment than most corporate places,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We like to tell clients that it&#8217;s the people that sets us apart.&#8221;</p>
