Human capital risk and reporting / Ernst & Young

Strategic HCM

My favourite presentation at last week's conference was given by Shaunagh Harvey Kelly and Mike Morley Fletcher from E&Y (the slide comes from a different presentation). I think risk tends to get forgotten by HR functions (perhaps not within those covered by SOX). But the risk management approach outlined by the E&Y consultants fits perfectly with the requirements for HCM reporting within the UK's business review and similar reports elsewhere.

Hire/Fire Authority

Evil HR Lady

Not sure if this one is quite your ball of wax, but I'm looking for a way to say, as a positive statement, that I have had the authority/reponsibility of firing as well as hiring on my resume. Is there a better term to use? Ahh, excellent question. (See, now I'm much less crabby since I no longer have 10.5 pounds of baby pummeling my ribcage.) Having supervisory experience can mean a broad range of things and certainly not all supervisors have hire/fire authority.

Calling upon Australian readers who don't blog

Knowledge Musings

An Australian researcher is looking for fellow Aussies who read blogs but do not blog themselves. Assuming the usual numbers of 1% active writers, 10% participants, and the remainder behind the scenes, there should be no end of candidates. However, "behind the scenes" implies a host of reasons, including time and desire to be known, which might work against being found out.

Lying Liars

Evil HR Lady

My question pertains to terminating an employee for lying on their application. Does it matter how the company found out they lied? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Your question intrigues me because I'm trying to figure out how you found out about a lie in such a way that you are afraid to present the information as a reason for termination.

Think With Your Head, Not Your Heart

Reviewsnap

'It is often difficult to discipline an employee that we like. Some employees have a way of making their way into a manager''s heart which can make the manager''s job difficult when it comes time to deal with problems surrounding that employee. A manager certainly must show compassion and concern for employees'' welfare and development. But there is a significant difference between compassion and concern and allowing problems to slide.

Avoid Hair Trigger Hiring
