Global or Regional: HR Service Delivery Should Always Be Perfect
Read more: Global or Regional: HR Service Delivery Should Always Be PerfectI’ll admit it. I fly United. I also know that everyone hates them, but I actually don’t. In fact, I’d fly United over any other carrier in the US (which does happen quite often). Ok, so sometimes extreme status helps out, but they do treat their upper tiers of status holders rather well. In the…

HR Metrics: Competency fill rates
By now, many of our organizations have competency assignments for each candidate and employee within the organization. Along with those competency assignments you probably have skill levels for each competency. Assigning a numerical value to each competency level, we should be able to quantify the total aggregate level of any given competency within the organization. …

The White Space Behind the Org Chart
In the last year I have had a few posts on Workday’s redesign of the organization structure in their HCM application. They have done a great job at giving us something new and more usable. In fact, we’ve been struggling for years over organization structures. They are hard to implement within existing HCM configuration limitations,…

HR Metrics: Quality of Hire
All too often, we talk about the quality of hire measured by a new employee’s first performance review. We like to correlate this metric back to the source of hire, business units, recruiters, etc to identify who is doing the best job so we can replicate those results in other parts of the business.

Recruiting CRM’s
There seems to be a fairly significant movement from recruiting as an applicant tracking system to a relationship management system. At this point, I’m advocating recruiting CRM’s in some niche areas of talent acquisition. The idea behind the recruiting CRM is that in recruiting in general, you best candidates are the passive candidates – those…

HR Metrics: Offer Accept Rate
Last time I looked for a job, I had three offers. Each of these offers were with very similar organizations, with very similar offer packages, and with exactly the same type of work. What actually made the difference? It was all about the value proposition. In retrospect, whether I made the right decision will never…

So, do you really want to know what your consultant thinks?
As we all know, many consultants are simply “yes men.” They tell you exactly what you either want to hear, or already know. In many cases, there is really nothing wrong with this. They tell you what you already know simply because it is the general truth. Consultants often go through many hours of interviews…

Workday Update
Being that Workday is announcing their Fall 2008 update today, I figured it was a s good a time as any to get this site back up and running again. As probably the most hyped vendor in the HR space this year, they have still had impressive growth with 67 current total clients and 35…

Transitions
Soul searching is always an interesting time. Whether it’s deciding what priorities there are in your HR department as you attempt to polish off any remaining budget you have for 2008, knowing that little budget will exist in 2009, or if it’s something much simpler like deciding whether to continue a popular blog. I’ve predicted…

String Theory and Particles
As long as I’m writing about the Hadron Collider, I might as well write about string theory. I’m not sure how to simplify this for non-scientists (I’m not one either obviously) but here goes: String theory basically states that within the molecule, there are atoms, within the atoms, electrons, protons, and within each of those,…
