Over the last few months, we’ve been watching tremendously troubling images come out of BP’s Gulf oil spill. We often think that when things go wrong, they can usually be corrected, but sometimes something goes wrong and it’s just catastrophic. At the time of writing, the oil spill had recently overtaken the amount of...

There has been so much publicity around e-readers and the Apple iPad lately. In truth, I’m totally captivated by both of these technologies, but have not jumped in the market yet. The iPad seems wonderful since it is basically the next evolution of the net book, or mini-laptop. It has a great user interface,...

We’ve been doing a pretty good job with Talent Management in my opinion. We have pretty much deployed our systems or are in the midst of doing so. We have reengineered our core talent processes from talent acquisition to performance to succession to learning and compensation. We have started to grow our talent thinking...

A long (very long) time ago, I used to captain a cycling team. I had a crew of about 6 people that raced every week, and we all had our objectives and our roles. As part of our weekly training for races, we would drill the sprinter on sprinting exercises, have the guys who...

So you’re going to implement new job codes, or department codes, or whatever. Someone in the organization has a great idea: “let’s make the codes smart!” I mean, what better idea to manage the information within the code than to implant attributes within the code itself. So you go down the road: Job category...
Fact: A turnover rate based on a calculation Dimension: Historical time trend of turnover Fact: The number of heads in your HR database Dimension: The breakdown of headcount by organization Fact: The number of FTE’s in any given job code Dimension: The demographic analysis of FTE’s in job code I honestly have no idea...
Not all of us have fancy business intelligence tools and cool dashboards with great graphs prepared for us in our business environments yet. If we’re lucky, we belong to organizations that have spent millions of dollars figuring out how to get us analytics when we log into self service environments. Or perhaps we have...
Since I defined Web 2.0 already, I thought I’d also define SaaS for the masses. Again, this is actually a fairly easy and straightforward technology to put some boundaries around. First of all, I don’t actually like the moniker “Software as a Service” because it confuses most HR people. At the core, SaaS does...
It’s probably long past time to write some definitions. In fact, I’ve done this before, probably every time I write a post about Web 2.0. A few years ago, I said that Web 2.0 would not be on the radar screens of HR for a couple of years, and sure enough, the last couple...
I write this in the usual place – the airplane. I’m in a window seat, so I’m only surrounded on three sides. The guy in front of me has decided that all the stuff he does not want should not go in front of him, but that “out of sight, out of mind” is...
