'Employee productivity is one of the most important factors in overall profitability. When employees are highly productive, products and services are sold at a faster rate, overtime is reduced, staffing is kept lean and the customer is more satisfied. Productivity is often overlooked as a key variable in enhancing profitability. This web site includes a number of articles dealing with this issue.

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.

Not sure if this one is quite your ball of wax, but I'm looking for a way to say, as a positive statement, that I have had the authority/reponsibility of firing as well as hiring on my resume. Is there a better term to use? Ahh, excellent question. (See, now I'm much less crabby since I no longer have 10.5 pounds of baby pummeling my ribcage.) Having supervisory experience can mean a broad range of things and certainly not all supervisors have hire/fire authority.

I'm blogging belatedly about a conference I spoke at last week, the Legal IT Leadership Summit (LITLS), sponsored by Interwoven. This was my second time for this conference, and was a great chance to reconnect with old friends like Andy McAfee and Neil Araujo , and meet some new ones like Gordon Vala-Webb , Ben Kiker , and Doug Cornelius, whose KM Space blog I've added to my list of favorites.

Bill Brantley has issued a Call to Action to the Personal Knowledge Management Community to fix up the Personal Knowledge Management entry on Wikipedia. He kindly mentions my name as one of those to mention in the reference list. I swear I did some creating / editing of the entry a while back. Even though I don't see my name in the history, I am pretty sure some of the basic structure is mine.

My question pertains to terminating an employee for lying on their application. Does it matter how the company found out they lied? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Your question intrigues me because I'm trying to figure out how you found out about a lie in such a way that you are afraid to present the information as a reason for termination.

'It is often difficult to discipline an employee that we like. Some employees have a way of making their way into a manager''s heart which can make the manager''s job difficult when it comes time to deal with problems surrounding that employee. A manager certainly must show compassion and concern for employees'' welfare and development. But there is a significant difference between compassion and concern and allowing problems to slide.

My organization handed me an administration manuel w/ no hiring and firing procedures. I have a small staff and have had to fire on three occasions. The procedural steps I do use were gained by asking other senior staff in hallways what they do in this organization. And I have followed those procedures. These procedures require a supervisor to be present at the point of firing as a witness.

Here is my situation. I applied for a position, and was interviewed only to never be contacted again after the standard thank you notes were sent. I've found out that the company I interviewed with is e-mailing people who worked with applicants, but who weren't listed as references. You see, they sent an email to my current company in regards to another applicant.

An Australian researcher is looking for fellow Aussies who read blogs but do not blog themselves. Assuming the usual numbers of 1% active writers, 10% participants, and the remainder behind the scenes, there should be no end of candidates. However, "behind the scenes" implies a host of reasons, including time and desire to be known, which might work against being found out.
