For 4 year degrees, the risk of not performing well on the interview is probably minimal, but it’s a…

Cisco Systems uses games to help teach employees
We’ve talked a lot about the use of games and the next generation of employees. Cisco is employing this strategy, but their gaming/learning technology is still in its infancy (as shown by the fact that they are modeling on a monopoly-like concept… a game that is 30 years old (or more). Monopoly may lengthen the…

New HR-XML Certifications
There are many new names on the list. Some are quite surprising such as Oracle, Brassring and Recruitmax who all should have been on the list earlier. If you are unfamiliar with the HR-XML Consortium, they are publishing XML standards so that a single XML layout may apply to a large industry segment. For example,…

HRO or PEO?
HR.com seems to have shown their considerable lack of understanding regarding HRO. While they are actually a very good source of information, I see them as similar to SHRM. Both of these organizations cater to mid-sized organizations and are rather unsophisticated from that standpoint. Article Here. Although the jury is still out on the real…

MS Windows Workflow
Michael posted this on Moscrosoft’s beta workflow engine. Quite interesting I think. While I’m pretty sure I’m not quite technical enough and thus won’t download the entire beta for trial, the MS write-up on MSDN didn’t make me do backflips.

Selecting a Performance MS whitepaper

2005 HRO Trends and Insights
Disclaimer: yeah… Hewitt could be considered a competitor of the firm I work for. If you read the rest of my blog, I generally consider them to be a vendor though. Hewitt’s 2005 HRO trends and Insights published in June (2005) caught my eye for some interesting analysis if you read between the lines. The…
