New or experienced, HR professionals know a thing or two about guiding career growth. Not only are they in the business of inspiring professionals, HR pros have the expertise and skills needed to provide advice and tactical goal development. Unfortunately, even with all that knowledge, it can be easy to overlook your very own career trajectory.

Does HR drive more effectiveness and organizational performance by improving traditional HR value propositions, such as compliance and services, or by improving decisions? Beyond HR , which was published ten years ago, advocated a “decision science” to advance HR, talent management, work, and organization design. A notable analogy in the book is based on Finance’s history of three fundamental value propositions: Control: Adding value by ensuring compliance with rules, laws, and guidelines.

(August 3, 2017) Operational excellence is a model that emphasizes continual improvement and a shared understanding of how a process creates value for a customer. Under the constructs of operational excellence, employees are encouraged to seek out areas of inefficiency in production processes and fix them before they break. It’s imperative that we as business leaders recognize that achieving operational excellence isn’t just about cutting costs.

I’ve been hearing a lot of organizations talk about the scavenger hunt lately. Personally, I like scavenger hunts because they can educate while having fun. And with a vast majority of employees having cellphones, you can easily create digital scavenger hunts. Scavenger hunts are a great option for orientation and onboarding. Instead of showing new hires a bunch of internet pages in a classroom, let them do the searching.

I heard a speaker recently mention Type I and Type II failures. The way they described it was, a Type I failure is an irreversible failure and a Type II failure is reversible. One might say that Kodak is a case study in Type I failure. A recent article in Harvard Business Review summed up the story pretty well. A generation ago, a ‘Kodak moment’ was something worth cherishing.

I was recently at a conference where a senior vice president of human resources said, “The war for talent is child’s play. Candidates are coming to interviews with 8 or 9 job offers and asking, ‘What are you prepared to offer?’”. Now I must admit, that might not happen in every geographic region or in every industry. But we all know that there are companies with some real recruiting challenges.

From the CONCERN: EAP Resilience Library Ah, relaxation. It can provide a needed break from stress and anxiety, and yet at the same time thinking about it can touch off those very same feelings. How many times has the phrase “Just relax” triggered the opposite response in you? Some stress in certain doses can be put to productive use, but if it persists, it can have undesirable side effects.

You fail to stand up for yourself, and you avoid conflict.  You humiliate or put others down by dominating them. You get what you want at the expense of others.  Your communication is indirect, not open.

It all starts with strategic context. Without clarity around the strategy of the organization, creating a “plan for people” and defining the role of talent management is not only difficult, it’s impossible. Your people plan must serve the overall strategy of the organization.

Worse still, the average cost of losing an employee during the first year is about three times their salary. These statistics highlight the importance of onboarding and engagement programs, in particular.
