Diversity and good management

Working Girl

One of the reasons I''ve been a bit quiet lately is that I''m taking a talent management certification course at Cornell, which takes up some of the time I typically use for blogging.

It turns out that companies that tap into the power of diversity - i.e., not just tokenism, which can undermine company performance, but actively including members of a diverse workforce - perform better. Naturally, race, gender, age and religion came up and were covered about as one might expect. Good points were raised.

It's a Job Interview, Not a Beauty Pageant

Evil HR Lady

At the end of all this, the judges proclaim a winner. She cries because it’s so wonderful and all the other contestants congratulate her and then slink back home, depressed because they didn’t get the crown. Somewhere along the line, people started treating job interviews the same way.

Your Least Favorite (or Favorite) Policy

Evil HR Lady

I'm sure over our time in the working world, we've all run across some bizarre policies and practices. And some good ones as well. love to hear about the craziness some companies foist onto their employees. So, I'm going to encourage you to tell me what you've run across. As a little incentive, our friends at the New Yorker have offered 5 (yes 5) Desk Calendars. Granted, they are 2010 calendars, but we've still got 7 months left in 2010 and the cartoons never get outdated. Evil Marketing Man has agreed to be the judge on the best/worst policies. The contest ends June 1, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
