This tongue-in-cheek video (below) depicts HR as a covert informer who invites confidences from employees then rats them out behind their backs. My project social partner Dave Ryan and I were chuckling about this recently but he admitted that there is a grain of truth. Perhaps more than a grain, as you can read about in his latest post. Mwa ha ha. But not really.) Here''s the video.

On the other side, I have been a victim of technology as well. that it kept me from accomplishing what I had planned.

Employee Engagement and the One-Do-List. Now What? Dr. Edward Hallowell stated: Do what matters most to you. Don’t spread yourself too thin. Without focus our minds, energies, and efforts get scattered. Losing sight of what matters most and focusing on everything that crosses our path creates the experience of CrazyBusy and lessens our results as we drown in the plethora of possibilities. Try changing your lengthy daily to do list into a one-do-list. Ask yourself: What is the one thing if you did today would matter the most to you and make the biggest difference? Now What?

She's only doing it for a week, though, so if you want yours done, you better ask fast. And for the record, she didn't ask me to post this, but I saw her post and thought, on the off chance that some of my readers don't read her (and you really should), they need to know about this.

Have you seen Bersin’s latest High Impact HR report ? Really? Not improving engagement, creating a more compelling culture, or raising capability? Not improving collaboration or the quality of conversation? Not aligning organisation structures or redesigning roles to provide greater autonomy and integration? Just measuring? But really? That group-think reigns supreme? This would be my suggestion.

Dear Evil HR Lady, After two years of unemployment, desperate job hunting and massive amount of resumes sent, I was finally HIRED! And now I am miserable. The job is in my career field but it’s a linear move which can be seen as over-experienced issue (not an over-qualified issue). My daily work consists of administrative assisting for an Associate Director which was not included in the job description, as well as working as the Scholarship Coordinator. After a week on this job, I am bogged down by the immense disorganization in tracking scholarships and donations. Bait and Switch Jobs

We have rituals to help us through the tremendous grief that sets in though: calling hours, funerals, graveside services, and gatherings of friends and family to share a meal all help keep our minds occupied during those first few days of pain.
