New Villanova University Business Intelligence Program Provides Professionals With Must-Have Skills and Industry Certification – 100% Online

TAMPA, FL/PRNewswire/ — Increasing global competition, volatile economic conditions and unprecedented quantities of data have made business intelligence crucial to a company’s success. With the new online Master Certificate in Business Intelligence from U.S. News-ranked Villanova University, professionals can gain vital skills employers seek, expanding their expertise in data architecture, analysis, modeling, measurement and more.

Knowledge of this in-demand discipline can also lead to new opportunities, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2010-11 Occupational Outlook Handbook projecting employment of systems and database administrators to increase 30% through 2018. Other professionals can benefit from business intelligence knowledge as well. For project managers to marketing researchers, business intelligence answers critical questions, such as:

– Which regions perform, and where can I improve?

– What products are selling, and which are failing?

– Why am I losing money, and how can I make more?

Students engaging in Villanova’s new Master Certificate in Business Intelligence online will take three courses: Essentials of Business Intelligence, Mastering Data Management and Technology, and Advanced Data Architecture and Intelligence. Upon successful completion of the courses, which include a certification exam and project, students will be recognized as a Certified Professional in Business Intelligence (CPBI).

“While business intelligence has been part of the corporate vernacular for decades, the solutions were used mainly by large organizations,” says Sid Ghatak, Villanova faculty and consultant. “Today, from financial firms to fast food franchises, companies both big and small are using business intelligence to improve financial and operational performance. There’s no better time to get business intelligence certification and take your knowledge to new levels.”

As with Villanova’s other master certificate programs, students will be immersed in a 100% online video-based e-learning environment, interacting with faculty and classmates through live chat and discussion boards.

About Villanova University

Founded in 1842, Villanova University is the worldwide leader in professional education online. A traditional, accredited university located in Villanova, Pennsylvania, it has more than 106,000 alumni, NCAA Division I athletic teams, unparalleled academic and technical support, and an outstanding faculty — over 90% of whom hold the highest degrees in their field. Villanova has been ranked the #1 Regional University in the North by U.S. News & World Report for nearly two decades.

About University Alliance Online

The University Alliance (CPBI) facilitates the promotion and online delivery of associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degrees as well as professional certificate programs from the nation’s leading traditional universities and institutions. Powered by UA’s technology and support services, its university partners have surpassed 450,000 online enrollments — making UA the largest facilitator of e-learning in the country.

Professional-Level Hiring Expected To Increase in First Quarter – Shortage of Skilled Professionals

MENLO PARK, CA /PRNewswire/ — Employers expect to increase hiring for professional-level positions in the first quarter, but they have concerns about finding qualified candidates for these roles, a new Robert Half survey shows. A net 10 percent of executives interviewed for the Robert Half Professional Employment Report plan to add full-time staff in the first three months of the year, up three points from the fourth-quarter forecast. However, the number of respondents who report recruiting challenges also is on the rise: 67 percent of executives said it is at least somewhat challenging to find skilled employees today, up from 59 percent last quarter and 42 percent in the third quarter.

To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please visit: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/53176-robert-half-professional-employment-report-q12012

Eighty-seven percent of respondents said they are at least somewhat confident in their organizations’ ability to grow in the first quarter.

The Robert Half Professional Employment Report is based on telephone interviews with more than 4,000 C-level executives and other leaders from a variety of fields throughout the United States who are asked about their hiring plans and general level of optimism for the upcoming quarter. Survey respondents include more than 1,400 chief financial officers (CFOs); 1,400 chief information officers (CIOs); 500 senior human resources managers; 100 lawyers at law firms and 100 corporate lawyers; and 125 advertising executives and 375 marketing executives, all of whom have hiring authority. The Robert Half Professional Employment Report is the first quarterly executive survey of its size and scope to concentrate exclusively on professional-level hiring.

Key Findings

– A net 19 percent of respondents in the transportation sector said they expect to make staff additions.

– Businesses in the West North Central[1] states will be hiring most actively, with a net 15 percent of executives planning to add professional-level staff in the first quarter, research shows.

– The legal field is expected to see the strongest hiring activity, with a net 27 percent of lawyers planning to increase staff levels. The information technology (IT) and finance fields showed the largest net gains in projected hiring activity from the prior quarter.

– Sixty-seven percent of survey respondents( )said they are having recruiting challenges, up eight points from the fourth quarter.

– Sixteen percent of respondents anticipate hiring professional-level staff and 6 percent expect reductions in personnel. The resulting net 10 percent increase is up three points from the fourth-quarter forecast.

“The U.S. unemployment rate for college-educated workers is roughly half the overall rate, and for many professional specialties it is even lower,” said Max Messmer, chairman and CEO of Robert Half International. Messmer pointed out that in the third quarter of 2011, the unemployment rates for financial analysts and computer network architects were less than 1 percent, according to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Brett Good, a senior district president with Robert Half International, added, “The common wisdom is that jobs are simple to fill in this market, but many employers are struggling to find the talent they need. Professionals with highly specialized skills are in short supply — particularly in the information technology and finance fields.”

Professional-Level Hiring — By Region

Respondents in the West North Central states anticipate the strongest hiring activity in the first quarter, with a net 15 percent of executives planning to add staff. “Healthcare, manufacturing and financial services firms are responsible for much of the hiring activity in the West North Central region,” Messmer noted. “Businesses in these fields seek accounting operations professionals, customer service representatives, web developers and IT systems administrators, among other roles.”

Professional-Level Hiring — By Industry

First-quarter professional-level hiring is anticipated to be strongest in the transportation sector, where a net 19 percent of respondents said they expect to make staff additions.A net 14 percent of executives in both the wholesale and construction industries also indicated they will hire during the quarter.

Professional-Level Hiring — By Profession

While the legal profession maintained its top spot in the survey with a net 27 percent of lawyers planning to hire, IT and finance showed the largest sequential gains, each yielding net increases in hiring activity that are up four points from the fourth-quarter survey.

The IT and finance fields also reported the greatest difficulty in finding skilled professionals, at 73 percent and 68 percent, respectively.

Health Care Hiring Continues to Expand during Weakened Economy

CHICAGO /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A survey released by Sullivan, Cotter and Associates, Inc. (SullivanCotter), a nationally-recognized compensation and human resource management consulting firm, reports that most hospitals and health care systems increased their physician staffing in 2011 and plan to continue to do so in 2012.

This finding is contained in SullivanCotter’s 2011 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey Report, now available for purchase. The survey contains data from424 health care organizations representing 66,400 health care providers and is considered the industry standard.

According to the survey, over the past 12 months, nearly three-quarters of the survey participants reported they increased their physician staffing levels; adding 12 specialists and nine primary care physicians to their staffs on average.  Additionally, three-quarters also indicted they plan to increase their physician staffs and mid-level providers over the next 12 months.

“These data are consistent with the labor market shift in physician employment that has been occurring over the past few years,” noted Kim Mobley, practice leader for physician compensation. “We expect this trend to continue for some time. This shift in the labor market has resulted in what has become a highly competitive labor market for physicians as organizations and physicians align to provide services in a high quality, more efficient manner.”

Widely acknowledged as the industry standard for physician data, the 19th Annual edition of the survey report represents the most comprehensive physician database among major commercially-available surveys of its kind. It contains data from 424 health care organizations representing 66,400 health care providers. Total cash compensation (TCC) and productivity data are reported on over 212 physician, PhD, mid-level provider (MLP) and administrative MD and PhD specialties as well as 8 medical group executive positions.

This year’s comprehensive report also includes TCC levels paid to Staff Physicians, Program Directors, Medical Directors/Division Chiefs and, for select specialties, Department Chairs. The survey reports productivity data (wRVUs) collections and gross patient charges as well as productivity ratios (TCC to collections, TCC per wRVU, TCC to gross patient charges and collections per wRVU).

Other Key Findings

The survey also found that health care organizations are using increasingly sophisticated compensation plans. Many are basing incentives not just on productivity, but also on physician performance, most often tied to patient satisfaction (74%) and/or quality (72%). Although the amount of compensation typically tied to physician performance has been about 3-5%, it is expected to increase to about 7-10% of physician total cash compensation. According to Mobley, this trend is expected to continue as health care organizations adopt more sophisticated plans and align their physician compensation strategies to future reimbursement methodologies.

Other physician compensation trends to note include: the continued use of on-call pay, as 65% of health care organizations reported paying at least some physicians for call coverage (up from 54% in 2010); the use of non-compete agreements, as reported by two-thirds of the survey participants; and the use of hiring bonuses, as  reported by nearly three-quarters of the survey participants.

The 2011 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey Report is now available for purchase. The cost to health care organizations who participated in the 2011 survey is $500. The cost for organizations agreeing to participate in next year’s survey is $950, while the cost of health care organizations not wishing to participate next year is $2,000. Non-health care organizations must call for the price. A CD containing the survey data tables is included with the purchase of the survey. To order a copy of the survey, please visit www.sullivancotter.com or contact Jill St. Aubin, Survey Project Coordinator, at jillstaubin@sullivancotter.com.

About SullivanCotter

SullivanCotter specializes in the assessment and development of total compensation and reward programs for physicians and executives in the health care industry. Since 1992, SullivanCotter has worked closely with health care organization executives, boards and compensation committees to devise innovative compensation solutions that attract and retain leadership talent while satisfying not-for-profit missions and regulatory requirements.
