3069192727_65d0fe4276[1] Leaders cannot afford to be confined. Confined by constructs of an organization. Limited job descriptions. Rigid ways of handling situations. Status-Quos. Being in a leadership position is more than being a box

One of the challenges of teaching human resources is keeping up with the latest trends and laws. The most recent textbook is unlikely to be up-to-date (Lilly Ledbetter anyone?) and even some of the most recent research is likely to have some lag time. As a result, I am taking a different tack this semester and having my students read blog posts by some of the most influential HR practitioners. On Thursday, January 28, for example, they read: Dr. Drewett. “ An Open Letter to the HR World” ( [link] ) Keith Hammonds. Why We Hate HR.” No? ( [link] ) Trish McFarlane. link] Maren Hogan.

Poet Taylor Mali gives a short, inspired talk in response to the question, '' What do you make? '' According to his bio, he''s not actually a teacher, which is a shame because I would send my kids to his school. A few highlights: ''I make students work harder than they thought was possible.'' ''I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.'' ''I make a difference. What about you?'' So, we know employee morale is rather low these days and there is some disagreement about what we should do about it. Some take the attitude of, ''If they leave, good riddance. They weren''t committed.

My brother-in-law works for a unionized company and has for 2 years now. He has all the qualifications needed for his job and is going to night school to get even more qualifications that are recommended for his job but not required. Another co-worker in another sector of the company is being laid off and was told by HR that if he gets a certain class of driver's license by the end of the week he can have my brother-in-law's job instead and they will lay my brother in law off instead. Is this even legal? It's called bumping and it happens all the time in a unionized workforce. Sorry

This past week, Mike Vandervort published the pros and cons of having Al Gore as a keynote speaker at the 2010 SHRM Annual Conference in San Diego. Out of curiosity, I went back through my old conference programs to see who SHRM has chosen as keynote speakers in the past and whether Al Gore is truly a controversial choice. 2001 - San Francisco - Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Gary Hamel, Nando Parrado 2002 - Philadelphia - Rudy Guiliani, David McCullough, Gordon Bethune, Star Jones 2003 - Orlando - Madeleine Albright, Jim Collins, Tom Morris, Dr. C.K.

The Importance of Ongoing Communication with Your Employees

ReviewSNAP

JANUARY 27, 2010

If your job consisted of continuous monitoring of whether or not the managers of the company were consistently and effectively communicating with their employees, what conclusions do you think you would make? My guess is that you would find that the communication would be generally ineffective and not results-oriented. And certainly excellent performance should be recognized along the way.

Can a company divulge the details of a performance improvement plan to another company verifying a candidate's (assuming the candidate was put into a performance improvement plan by his former employer) employment history? Can a company? Keep in mind that I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, and I have no knowledge of your actual location, so this may not apply to you at all.) People have this strange idea that companies are a. only allowed to verify titles/dates/salaries or b. forbidden from giving bad reviews. This is false. Because it is easily provable that you were on a PIP.
