45 Things

FEBRUARY 21, 2011

One of the most uncomfortable situations at work is when two co-workers don't get along -- and you somehow get caught in the middle. Perhaps each person comes to you at different times to try and get you on his or her side. Heather might say, "Can you believe what Brad said in the meeting? What did you think about that ridiculous idea he had about moving the project deadline?" Don't despair.

I’m pleased to introduce an additional new sponsor for my blog: Hay Group. I’ve been looking through some of the firm’s recent research and wanted to comment on one study in particular: Engagement Matters. However Hay Group points out that engagement isn’t all that matters. 44% of UK employees feel they’re not being enabled to translate their enthusiasm into productive action. Engagement

My project social partner Dave Ryan and I were chatting Monday about recruiting and how hard it is to find the right person. As a busy HR person, he must frequently rely on external recruiters even though recruiting is traditionally an HR activity and he’ll be posting on the outsourcing aspect of recruiting over at HR Official. Whereas I’m more interested in how recruiting has evolved over the years. For example, a friend of mine is an IT recruiter and years ago over lunch she described how she found people. some made up technical problem. Not interested? mere technicality.

Training and learning organizations today play an active role in contributing to the bottom line of any organization by aligning their objectives to the immediate business objectives. This provides a solid ground for cost justification and encourages businesses to place training groups right where they should be, at the heart of a growing, thriving, learning culture.

Two things we know about change: Resistance is our natural reaction to any change that disrupts our current way of working. Things only change when the pain of change is less than the pain of remaining in current state.

A friend of mine recently recently told me she feels frustrated by the fact that although she works for a ‘performance management’ company the people on her team barely receive a living wage. I was discussing this with my Project Social partner Dave Ryan the other day and we decided to tackle the topic of good management for less. Be sure to check out Dave''s post over at HR Official. worked my way through college and graduate school doing low-paid student jobs so I’m no stranger to not earning a living wage. She wasn’t particularly friendly but she was fair. Fix the cake.’ Still your customer.’

Early in my consulting career I started telling people the consulting business is a relationship business. I was right, just a little short sighted. Actually all business is a relationship business. All work is a relationship business. All leadership is a relationship business. Make it a priority. know you are busy. know you have plenty to do.

I hope you enjoyed my notes on TRU London last week. If you did, you really should think about joining us at our second Connecting HR unconference in London on 5th May. The only limitation of these events to me is that we’re largely focusing on people using social media. There’s some logic – as well as efficiency – in this. Many of whom would, I’m sure, value the unconference experience.

The Correlation Between Employee Satisfaction & Company Success

FEBRUARY 22, 2011

You probably already know this, but sometimes it is nice to have a simple reminder on why employee satisfaction really matters. A key area for any company is the level of customer service being delivered by its employees. Generally speaking, satisfied employees make for satisfied customers. In other words, if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your customers.

I am very fortunate. live in a free society. I am reasonably healthy (*knocking on wood*). work for a mission-driven organization that provides inpatient and outpatient services to critically ill children. My CEO "gets it" relative to HR and is very supportive. I am also in a leadership role that requires me to make decisions constantly. Some of those decisions are very difficult ones. So does that make me some sort of genius? Am I now the repository of knowledge that others should seek out because obviously I must be special? How else could I have landed this job in the first place? Right?
