Engagement is Economic Theory
Read more: Engagement is Economic TheoryI was having a recent conversation with John Sumser where we discussed my need to be an engaged employee. Indeed, I’m that guy who is almost always engaged because I honestly love my work. I’m one of those unique people who actually find the world of HR and HR technology interesting. In general, I’m the…

Workday.com – Hidden truths and everything else I know
So I’ve been following Dave Duffield for a while now, but have not written about him in some time. For those of you who do not know of Dave, he’s the founder of PeopleSoft and has launched a new venture. He also has an incredibly loyal following among other software CEO’s, but I’ll talk more…

2006 Technoloy Outlook
HR.com has a new HR Technology Outlook for 2006. As usual, I don’t completely agree with their outlook. My responses in blue. It’s an interesting article though. 1. HR technology software applications will continue to increase in functionality. Applications must address the changing demographics and needs of the aging workforce and the global workforce. I…

And Kenexa too
This is more of a surprise than Authoria (last post before this). Kenexa was voted the top RPO. While I’m not sure who the competition was, I’m betting it includes the likes of Brassring and Recruitmax. Kenexa has not (to me) shown a great depth in product functionality, breadth in their product suite, or the…

Authoria is Kicking Some A$$!!!
I’ve written a lot about talent management suites and vendors in the past. However, Authoria has grown over the last few years from being the leader in knowledgebase applications to being a clear leader in overall talent management. With a clear market penetration into the Fortune 1000, great strategic partnerships with HRMS vendors and consultants,…

Talent Acquisition Metrics
Here’s a PDF from Webhire. I found it interesting that manual recruiting processes and automated TAS were not significantly more different in the type and quality of the metrics they provide. In all honesty, I don’t think that this survey measured the “quality” of the metrics. For example, if we talk about measuring the cost…

More on HR Communications
One of the things that bothers be about blogspot.com is that I can’t have comments automatically showing up on the board – you have to click comments to see them. Most of the time, comments are innocuous enough, but sometimes they should not be buried. Here’s Andrew’s reply to my previous post – and some…

Branding, Communications, Service Delivery
Perhaps the post should be “Branding, Communications, Service Delivery… Again.” Actually, there have been a couple of interesting things on the web. The first is a post by Andrew who referred to another debate about communications strategy and change. In it, the debate rages on about if effective communications come from a top down approach…

Oracle Fusion, and future PeopleSoft functionality
Oracle Fusion has been a pretty good mystery for me. I have not heard much concrete information until lately. While I can’t tell you where this information came from (other than it’s not from within the organization I work for), it is very reliable. First of all, Oracle is clearly combining JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and…

Convergys expands BPO offering beyond HRO
No, I haven’t died, quit, or just gone away. I’ve been in the middle of parallel tests for a client and that has been an all consuming task. This also means that I haven’t been doing the normal market research I usually do every week. Convergys finalized it’s deal with Deloitte to acquire the Deloitte…

eRecruitment Market Trends
Thank you Gartner!!!! One of my pet peeves over the last year has been ATS systems calling themselves talent management applications. Anyone reading my posts knows this bugs me to no end. Gartner’s eRecruitment white paper clearly states a difference between Talent Acquisition Suites (TAS) and Talent Management Suites (TMS). They state that Peopleclick, Taleo…
