First I must say how much I’ve enjoyed your blog – it helped me a lot when I applied for a new job last year. Now (for only the second time in my career) I work for a company that is large enough to actually have an HR department! My question is, I see references to roles such as ‘HR Generalist’ and ‘HR Business Partner’, and I’m sure there are more I haven’t found yet.

'In my role as an HCM strategist for a business software company I’ve been thinking about talent management and have identified what I think of as five popular ‘myths’ about talent management – there are probably more but these are my favorite five: Myth 1: Talent Management and Core HR are separate functions – this seems to be the de facto position of leading talent management solutions, but effective talent management requires consolidated access to employee, staffing and business data.

Do you feel like wearing a costume? by D avid Zinger. Halloween is fast approaching. The world economic situation is turbulent to say the least. As a manager do you see this as a trick? Do you see it as a treat? Or do you add an h to treat and get t-h-reat! I am interested in the impact of this turbulence on your and your managing: Has your work changed?

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

You can see the separation of the people and business management systems in most businesses' strategy maps. Most, in fact very, very nearly all, show linkages between objectives in the internal process, customer and financial perspectives. But there are very rarely connections between people and objectives in the other quadrants. Why is this? It's because what we do in HR, and the deliverables of this activity, ie human capital, affects everything else we do in the business.

It was a quick read--a few hours--but with a lot of food for thought, particularly for creating communities of practice. Some key points: A tribe is a self-selected group of people, often with a leader, usually with a purpose, always with a way of connecting and identifying with each other, a set of norms, insiders and outsiders.

I am applying for an internship. I understand that the job is low priority to them, as it is indeed an internship, not full-time. But the hiring process is very slow. I believe I had a successful phone interview with a member of their HR, then was told that HR was awaiting a response from upper management regarding the position. The wait has now been a month long.

I am a Project Manager who was reprimanded for going out to a restaurant for lunch with several employees. One of them had a beer and upon returning to the office he commented to the newly appointed (inexperienced and unqualified) "Executive Assistant" what she missed for not going with us.

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.

This is completely off topic, and I apologize for it. On Monday, one of my friends was killed in a car crash. Her parents, who were with her, are in critical condition and the doctors don't expect her mother to survive. My friend was 46. An 18 year old girl ran a stop sign and t-boned them. She walked away with minor injuries. She was also text messaging while driving.
