According to new research from IBM on why employees quit, the old HR adage "people don't leave companies, they leave managers" is being called into question. MORE
Who are the thought leaders you turn to for business and management advice? Got room for one more?

Simultaneously they make every effort to retain their most important employees over the long-term. MORE

Over 200,000 global employees were studied by the Boston Consulting Group , and the top reason they reported enjoying their work was, “feeling appreciated”.

I ran across a tweet recently that posed an interesting thought : What if managers created “personal user manuals” about their management style? Back in the old days, we called this managing up.

What’s the Difference Between Human Resources and Organization Development?

Both functions deal with people, right? So, many naturally assume they do the same thing. Yet, there are more differences than similarities between HR and OD. MORE
If there’s one thing that’s certain in the world of Human Resources, it’s that employee engagement matters. If there’s a second thing that’s certain, it’s that HR knowing this has done almost nothing to improve employee engagement.

Unfortunately, most of those who create metrics in HR and recruiting don’t really understand the strategic mindset of CEOs. And, as a result, the metrics that are reported to CEOs and the executive committee result in no positive action being taken. That is because CEOs are laser focused on the strategic goals of the organization. MORE
As HR is increasing its presence as a strategic part of the business, key performance indicators, or KPIs, are becoming a key part of the language for discussing how it is actually performing.
