I presented a session on the future of strategic HRM yesterday. Now I’m no futurist – I much prefer to focus on the opportunities that are available to us today, but I think I’ve got a good idea of some of the changes we’ll see happening over the next 5 –10 years (I’m not going to repeat them here – just have a scan through this blog). And this is being more innovative in HR.

I have mixed feelings about performance evaluations. I've yet to talk to an employee or manager who look forward to them. But sometimes it's the only way to get workers and their bosses to sit down and actually discuss what's going on. Here's the story I did for Gannett/USAToday.com. If ever you wished you had the powers of mind-reading, it might be during your annual performance review.

Dealing with difficult issues in the workplace can take its toll. Not in the way you might think though. Sometimes juggling sensitive issue after sensitive issue can give the HR pro (read here => me) a bit too much self-confidence. That''s not a bad thing, but here''s where the "takes its toll'' part comes in to play. Most of the time you''ll be handling the situation just fine. No Excuses.

Vance and I have been having an off-line discussion about this topic following his presentation at the CIPD conference ( which I also blogged on ).

When an employee''s performance falters, the natural reaction is to blame the employee first. Employees are responsible for at least meeting expectations and when they don''t they are surely doing something wrong, aren''t working hard enough or just can''t do the job. Right? Well probably, but is the manager doing his or her job effectively to help that employee be successful? An employee''s performance is often tied directly to the quality of management oversight and assistance. The role of a manager is complex. Establishing rapport and trust with employees. Enforcing accountability. But why?

Having lots of responsibility is a wonderful part of leadership, at least it is for me. The auhority to make my own decisions, execute my vision, and the power to make ''plans to change'' into a reality get me fired up. But sometimes, " being in the know " isn''t much fun at all. Awareness When we''re made aware of a problem there can be an uncomfortable period of time while we''re processing what we''ve just heard. During this time we usually have many thoughts running through our head as we try to sort out the mess we''ve just learned about. Struggle Knowledge is a heavy burden. No Excuses.

I’ve been included in this article in HR Magazine on HR iphone apps. write about some of the favourites that I use or have been able to find. I don’t think it’s the best piece of writing I’ve ever done, and I think a lot of that is down to feeling rather less than excited about the HR apps which are currently available. might even do one myself to give you better mobile access to Strategic HCM!?
