1.<\/span> The Psychology of People Analytics<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Tom Haak<\/a> in Analytics in HR<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

The attention to people analytics has increased enormously over the last few years. Many organizations have established people analytics teams, and several promising start-ups have developed software that can help HR with people analytics. The assumption is that if we have access to the right data, if we have the right analysis tools and clever people to interpret the data, we will be able to predict human behavior \u2013 and that these predictions will be used in a sensible way in organizations. I have some doubts (\u2026)<\/p>\n

2.<\/span> The Future Of Work: The Intersection Of Artificial Intelligence And Human Resources<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 By Jeanne Meister<\/a> in Forbes<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s consider Jane, a chatbot created by Loka, in 2014. Jane provides real time answers to a range of HR questions, including, \u201cAre we off on President\u2019s Day?\u201d or \u201cWhat are my dental benefits?\u201d Jane is capable of answering any question and answer set that can be stored in a database. In addition to answering frequently asked questions, CEO Bobby Mukherjee says Jane is designed to proactively promote benefits to employees they may not yet know about. (…)<\/p>\n

3.<\/span> The 17 Things Employees Care About Most At Work<\/a> <\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Jacob Morgan<\/a> for Inc.<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Employee experience is all about providing employees with an environment where they want, not need to come to work\u2013a place where they can feel energized and free to be themselves to get their best work<\/a> done. But what does that actually look like? Based on interviews with hundreds of executives<\/a> and leaders at companies around the world ranging from the Chairman of the Board at Yahoo to the CHRO of Marriott to the CEO of Jamba Juice for my new book, I put together a framework that allows companies to design great employee experiences. Employee experience may seem complicated, but it really boils down to three environments: technological, physical, and cultural. (…)<\/p>\n

4.<\/span> Work: Disrupted\u2026 What Should HR Do? The Seven Practices of High-Impact HR<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Josh Bersin<\/a> in LinkedIn<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

The world of work has been disrupted in ways I\u2019ve never seen. We\u2019re working many more hours (we\u2019ve lost an entire week of vacation time since 2000<\/a>), we feel overwhelmed (40% of US workers believe their work is \u201chighly stressful\u201d<\/a>), and more and more people are taking on gig-work and alternative work arrangements.And everywhere, we are re-inventing our skills and ourselves to cope with the rise of labor-saving technology and software, including Artificial Intelligence. (Read the article \u201cCatch the Wave, 21st Century Careers<\/a>\u201d for more on this.)

5.<\/span> Stop Aspiring To Lead And Start Leading By Giving Support<\/a><\/h2>\n

By Tanveer Naseer<\/a> in his blog<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

People who aspire to lead look upward in a hierarchy to find power and authority they can grab onto to pull themselves up. That\u2019s why they\u2019re still aspiring and not leading. People above them can sense their craving, which they can motivate them with, which makes them followers, not leaders. (…)<\/p>\n

6.<\/span> How To Win (Not Just Fight) The War For Talent<\/a><\/h2>\n

By Dave Ulrich<\/a> in LinkedIn<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Talent has been a primary agenda, if not obsession, for many general managers and human resource professionals for the last 20 years as captured in the maxim, \u201cwar for talent.\u201d This talent emphasis has led to innumerable innovations in how organizations bring people into the organization, move them through the organization, and appropriately move them out of the organization as summaries in Table 1.

7.<\/span> Artificial Intelligence trends become today\u2019s HR realities<\/a><\/h2>\n

By HR Jump<\/a> in HR Tech Weekly<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the past years has profoundly impacted a tremendous number of companies and sectors. Take the example of supply chain functions \u2013 these have been completely reshaped and fully robotized warehouses are now the new standard. In parallel, other support or corporate functions have also caught this technological wave, but not with the same speed and pace. Human Resources today are the perfect illustration: the shift towards Digital HR has started for pioneer organizations, but the majority of companies are still in the reflection and conceptualization stages.

8.<\/span> Employee Engagement is all about the Emotional Connection. Period<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Howard Lax<\/a> in LinkedIn<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Every company wants an engaged workforce \u2013 but what does that mean? It certainly means more than simply having employees who give solid scores to the performance of leadership or say the salary and bennies are good. Even agreement that a company is a \u201cgood place to work\u201d or \u201cI enjoy my work\u201d falls short of engagement. Those criteria are essential, but they are just a start.<\/p>\n

Employee engagement is all about the emotional affinity employees feel for a company. Everything else is important only insofar as it translates into an emotional connection. The engaged employee feels a sense of immersion in a company, its culture, its well-being. They don\u2019t just work for the company; they are part of the company and the company is an important part of how they define themselves. (\u2026)<\/p>\n

9.<\/span> Why AI Doesn\u2019t Mean Taking The \u2018Human\u2019 Out Of Human Resources<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Georgene Huang<\/a> in Forbes<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Artificial intelligence, commonly known as \u201cAI,\u201d is a popular buzzword these days. Some of us hear the term AI and picture of a dystopian future where people lose jobs and control to robots who possess artificial \u2014 and superior \u2014 intelligence to human beings. Others are more sanguine about our ability to control and harness technology to achieve more and greater things.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s impossible to predict how exactly AI technology and capabilities will evolve, the fact of the matter is that AI is no futuristic science fiction; it is here today in many forms and manifestations. And AI exists in areas you may not necessarily think it does \u2014 such as in HR departments where the technology actually helps place people in jobs rather than make them redundant.

10.<\/span> How to Evaluate, Accept, Reject, or Negotiate a Job Offer<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

By Rebecca Knight<\/a> in Harvard Business Review<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

Congratulations! You got the job. Now for the hard part: deciding whether to accept it or not. How should you assess the salary as well as the other perks? Which publicly available information should you rely on? How should you try to get a better deal? And what\u2019s the best way to decline an offer if it\u2019s not the right job for you?
