'Guest Post by Jim Webber While I was at the local coffee shop this week, I noticed a young father typing away on his computer as his baby napped in his lap. The thing that caught my attention was that no one else paid any attention. He was just another guy doing some work while enjoying his latte. It made me happy. It was very different twenty years ago when my two daughters were toddlers and I was a newly single dad.

My engagement is my responsibility, don’t take that from me. Psychometrics in Canada recently completed a survey of 368 Canadian HR professionals. These professionals were asked : Who is primarily responsible for engagement? 50% said managers. 34.1% said senior leaders. 15.9 said employees. It boggles my mind that only 16% of HR managers see employees as having primary responsibility for engagement?

'2010 was a turnaround year for many U.S training organizations. After double-digit spending cuts in each of the prior two years, training budgets began to stabilize - and even increase within many organizations. Overall, companies spent 2% more on training in 2010 than in 2009. With budgets loosening up, many L&D organizations initiated learning infrastructure projects in 2010.

Dear Evil HR Lady, Now that employers aren’t reading resumes - instead just putting them through scanners to find keyword matches - do they still read cover letters? I’ve got no problem crafting specific cover letters for the various jobs I’m applying to. That said, my job search is time-consuming enough without spending time and energy on a cover letter no one is going to read.

You may be interested in these notes on innovation in HCM from my Winter newsletter : Unfortunately innovation is not something that is seen as a priority by many businesses (see this article and this one in the FT for example). I think this is a shame. Yes, HR’s role in enabling innovation within the business is a highly important one, but innovating its own approach and processes is increasingly important too.

'Once when I changed jobs my new manager asked me to set up 1:1 meetings with the rest of the team, to get to know them and let them get to know me. One of these conversations stands out in my mind, partly because it was with a French colleague who spoke so beautifully that everything she said sounded elegant and wise. But it was her description of our manager that really stuck with me: ‘He’s a very humane manager.

The true test of a leader is when things don’t go as planned. Worst yet, when things fail. In an organizational context, I have seen so many leaders who drive the project/initiative right from the beginning – yet when the project fails, they blame others.

But while my project social partner Dave Ryan and I were chatting about retention last week, the words ‘rhymes with detention’ just popped into my head.

In organizations, I have seen people who are “designated” as leaders. I have seen many such designated leaders, who raised their game to meet the expectations that come along with leadership. They make an effort to learn about leadership, read books, blogs and consciously put those lessons in action. On the other hand, I have also seen designated leaders who create a shield of air around themselves.

'The recent UK labour market statistics pointing to a jobless recovery throughout 2011 and beyond emphasise the need for all organisations to get the most out of the people they currently employ. One, and certainly the simplest, way of organisations doing this is to listen to their people’s suggestions. I’ve recently posted on the need for doing this during restructuring – and the benefits Westminster Council have gained from listening to their employees.
