EMPLOYEE RELATIONS – Key to HR Success!, by Ian Clive in his blog
I am proud to be an EMPLOYEE RELATIONS professional – the key to trust, working together effectively and achieving mutually beneficial results! I have had various impressive HR titles and been associated with more high fallutin aspects of Human Resources, but the magic ingredient, I believe, that holds everything together, is Employee Relations. I should make it clear that although the employees we need to relate to are often quite junior, the same principles apply to relationships at all levels, including senior management…
The Human Touch DOES Matter, by Nicole D. Le Maire in New to HR
The very foundation of the human resource function is people – encouraging communication, relationships and engagement between the workforce while remaining open to deal with the day to day issues that come with talent management. In the world of business where most transactions, processes and commun ications are done electronically, are we losing the human touch?…
Bringing Out The Best In Those You Lead, by Tanveer Naseer in his blog
Of all the seasons of the year, summer is without question my favourite. From attending the various outdoor festivals that Montreal has become renowned for, to the annual summer vacation breaks with my family, there’s no question that summer is a time for renewal and rejuvenation. Of course, renewal and rejuvenation is something that summer has also brought to my garden which, after several years of trying to grow various flowers and shrubs, is finally the kind of garden I had hoped to grow since we moved into our house many years ago…
The Future Of Predictive Analytics — The Next Generation Of Talent Metrics To Consider, by Dr. John Sullivan in Ere Media
A comprehensive list of current and future predictive talent metrics
The use of predictive analytics is a hot issue and a developing trend in talent management. But unfortunately as a longtime thought leader in the area, most of the current prediction efforts are extremely shallow. And as a result, they will have a minimal impact because they only cover a few basic areas like predicting employee flight risk and identifying the selection factors that predict hiring success. What will eventually be needed is a broader array of second- and third-generation predictive metrics covering many more advanced talent management factors…

Getting to Si, Ja, Oui, Hai, and Da, by Erin Meyer in Harvard Business Review
Tim Carr, an American working for a defense company based in the midwestern United States, was about to enter a sensitive bargaining session with a high-level Saudi Arabian customer, but he wasn’t particularly concerned. Carr was an experienced negotiator and was well-trained in basic principles: Separate the people from the problem. Define your BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement) up front. Focus on interests, not positions. He’d been there, read that, and done the training…
How to Look for Emotional Intelligence on Your Team, by Claudio Fernández-Aráoz in HBR.org
Of all the ways to test for emotional intelligence, the marshmallow test might be my favorite. You put a child in a room, set one marshmallow in front of her and explain that, if she’s able to wait 10 minutes before eating it, she’ll get an extra marshmallow to enjoy. Then you leave her alone. If the child can hold off, it means she has is able to self-regulate — a key component of emotional intelligence. And, as psychologist Walter Mischel has famously shown, this translates into long-term benefits. Kids who delayed gratification at age four grew up to be more organized, efficient, dependable, resilient, and successful teenagers and adults…
