What do your recruitment communications say about you?

What do your recruitment communications say about you?

WHAT DO YOUR RECRUITMENT COMMUNICATIONS SAY ABOUT YOU? In a sense, I’d like to believe the current recruitment practices I see and have experienced are a blip. Something that has been enforced by a downsizing of recruiters at a time of unprecedented applications. Except many of the practices I see Continue Reading

Did you mean employee engagement…or employee engagement?

Did you mean employee engagement…or employee engagement?

DID YOU MEAN EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT…OR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT? It shouldn’t take COVID-19 to get companies to focus on employee engagement – but before I get to the meat of the blog, it’s worth talking about what precisely engagement is. The interesting fact is, it means two different things and therefore you Continue Reading

The future of work (more thoughts)

THE FUTURE OF WORK (MORE THOUGHTS) This is a subject that is really interesting me at the moment. Yes, I’d like to think I’ve always considered what’s new or up and coming – but taken in the round of culture and a company’s brand, this is becoming a hotter and Continue Reading

HR as a value-adding function

HR AS A VALUE-ADDING FUNCTION HR is becoming a value adding function – or at least should if managed correctly. I have for many years been advocating that HR should not be seen as a cost. Which is typically how it is seen by most firms. A slightly better position Continue Reading

Scaling leadership

SCALING LEADERSHIP Scaling Leadership (Building Organizational Capability and Capacity to Create Outcomes that Matter Most) by Robert J. Anderson and William A.

Underestimate a good role profile at your peril

Underestimate a good role profile at your peril

WHY JOB DESCRIPTIONS ARE UNDERVALUED And I’m talking recruitment specifically here… It’s fair to say that both sides of the equation have felt short-changed more than once. New hires regret joining a company based upon a job description that bears little resemblance to the role they’ve been asked to do. Continue Reading

The future of HR

THE FUTURE OF HR In considering a range of articles about what HR could and should expect in 2020 and beyond, I was reactive in a previous post. I looked at what others were suggesting and added my own thoughts. Which made me think about what I would suggest HR Continue Reading

Change seems to have found a new gear

CHANGE SEEMS TO HAVE FOUND A NEW GEAR Books rarely solve problems – people do – but a well-written, thought-provoking read can certainly help. At a time when we are either worrying how we’ll fit everything in, or wondering how to fill the hours – there is one constant. We Continue Reading

Hot topics for HR to consider

HOT TOPICS FOR HR TO CONSIDER Of course, COVID-19 is the biggest talking point at the moment but the four subjects I’ll mention were issues before the crisis and the pandemic won’t make them any less relevant – in fact a couple will become even more pertinent.

WORKING REMOTELY SUCCESSFULLY Work Together Anywhere (A Handbook on Working Remotely – Successfully – for Individuals, Teams & Managers) by Lisette Sutherland and Kirsten Janene-Nelson Some books I am reading are useful and always relevant. I am not suggesting this book is only pertinent today, but it is particularly topical Continue Reading
