Equifax to buy top payroll-service firm
.
That was the headline that greeted me when I opened up my Atlanta Journal Constitution Business section last Thursday. Right there below the fold. Plain as day. My heart began to race a bit. Who could it be? Equifax is big, certainly. With a $5 billion market capitalization they could probably make a run at…

Employee Morale and Stress
.
A lot has been written about the connection between low employee morale and stress. In fact, Melissa Bushman even claims it to be “The most common cause of low employee morale.” On the face of it, this sounds reasonable. If I’m stressed at work, I’m probably not happy at work. Take a deeper dive on this…

Employee Morale and the Company Car
.
Do a Google search on “employee morale” and you will get “about 1,020,000 hits”. Evidently, it’s a pretty hot topic! Actually, after I went through all the million plus hits, I found that there are actually 748,639 non-duplicative hits. Still quite a few, and definitely a hot topic. I found out all kinds of things…

Employee Morale and the Boss
.
The other day, I came across an interesting graph a client of mine had copied from a BusinessWeek article. I’ve been trying to find it online, to no avail. I found reference to it here, on another blog, NumericLife. Everyone has a boss to deal with When employees were polled to pick New Year’s…

5 Things About Double Dubs
.
Michael Specht tagged me. I don’t usually do this stuff, but perhaps it is useful to let you know just a little bit about myself. It’s going into the middle of “15 days of Drucker” as my last post of the year. As an anonymous blogger, I’m having a hard time with this one, but…

Best Blog Awards
.
The best recruiting blog awards is happening for the second year and I thought I’d tell you all about it. Last year systematicHR was nominated (as it is this year) but I didn’t bother telling anyone about it. I consider this to be an HR strategy, HR technology and business site that happens to cover…

Brad Pitt’s Love Child (at Talentism.com)
.
Jeff Hunter answers the question if he is having Brad Pitt’s love child here. Truth be told, I’m frightened by this thought. He also answers the secrets to having a successful website: Post frequently. Write stuff that matters to you and your audience. Be consistent in style, presentation and intent. Be fresh and engaging. As…

The Industry Radar
.
Along with Michal Specht’s hrblogs.org site, there’s another new HR aggregator that is doing an incredible job bringing quality content to the masses called the Industry Radar. (I’m big on alternatives to SHRM and other mainstream sites). The site has 4 benefit radars, but also 4 HR radars. Among these are: Talent Management Outsourcing Technology…

Who You Are – sHR Survey Results
.
In February I had a reader survey available which many of you answered. I thought I’d share some of the results from that survey: Exactly 50% of you read new posts on systematicHR every day. Many more of you visit multiple times each week. Not surprisingly, the topics of most interest are HR strategy and…

systematicHR is 1 year old!!!
.
Yup, my first post on the HR Technology Discussion Board was 1 year ago today and I’ve posted 313 times since then. You have also written about 250 comments since December, and possibly many more than that in the last 12 months. (I didn’t convert old comments from the HR Tech Discussion Board) Well, along…

It’s a 10 question survey, so please take 60 seconds and help me understand my audience. In turn, you’ll be getting better and more attuned content in the future. Thanks!!! Double…

Am I the only one who didn’t know this? They are mostly posting news items at the moment, but perhaps they will develop into more original content. Here they are.

My Top 10 Most Viewed Posts in 2005
.
I lied – one more post. Ok – so I’ve only been around since March. Who cares? It staggers me to think about everything we’ve covered. From employer branding, engagement, onboarding, technology, vendors, strategies, and just good ‘ol news. I’ve enjoyed blogging, getting to know many of you, and learning from you as well. I…

New HR Technology Blog
.
OK, It may not actually be so new as he’s been around since June, but along with Michael Specht and myself, there’s another HR Technology blogger. Jason Corsello of the Yankee Group has some excellent content. I look forward to collaborating and discussion these issues with him in the future.

Another new HR Blog
.
***Edited*** Another New HR Blog. Looks like decent content for now. I’ve been surprised how much content is coming out of India. Perhaps I should actually say that I’m surprised at the small proportion of HR content that I read and enjoy is coming out of the U.S. The large majority of my reading is…
