HR Roles

Evil HR Lady

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.

Thoughts about Talent Management

Working Girl

'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.

HCM in the Balanced Business Scorecard / Strategy Map

Strategic HCM

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.
