Why HR Can’t Implement Web 2.0

Joel Cheeseman wrote an interesting piece on Web 2.0 a couple months ago in the Industry Insider.

An outsider is led to believe such cutting-edge tactics in the employment space are the rule. In reality, it’s the exception. The percentage of companies publishing blogs full of embedded YouTube videos, Flickr photos, a roll call of MyBlogLog users and links to Facebook fan sites is probably in the single digits. Fortune 500 companies taking this approach are easier to find than Bigfoot. 1

Cheeseman gives a good perspective on what’s going on and what’s going wrong.

When you’re angry, it’s still better to be nice.

Sometimes, I see people who are not angry over anything, yet they are still not nice.  Here’s my message: some of the people we interact with in HR can have huge impacts on our workforce.  My main example is interactions with consultants and vendors.  I’ve seen way too many organizations not only treating their vendors like non-partners, but treated with great disrespect and insolence with little or no reason.  Vendors have the ability to be either great partners, or are also in the position to greatly disrupt your organization.  While I’ve never seen the latter, certainly an unhappy vendor is not going to go the extra distance, above and beyond the call of duty, to create perfection – and perhaps they should not.

When at a door, train, bus, or anything else, people going out exit before anyone else goes in. 

This is a simple process rule.  In the example, it makes good sense.  You can’t get in a train if people have not left the train yet.  If it’s full, you’re not getting on.  If people have exited the train, there is now room for more people.  It’s really not a hard rule.
