      \n
    1. Why All the Individual Suggestions for Engagement Are Wrong<\/a><\/strong> by Paul Herbert.
      Whether we\u2019re talking employees, channel partners or consumers, \u201cengagement\u201d is the holy grail of business. If you read the blogs, the tweets and now the \u201cchats\u201d engagement is the thing. Nothing else matters if you don\u2019t have engagement.<\/li>\n
    2. We need to talk about HR Analytics <\/a><\/strong>by Ed Houghton for CIPD.
      Our data showed us that the majority of HR professionals either don\u2019t do analytics (8%) are just starting out (13%) or have set up a simple system but are not applying it to any strategic issues (29%). Very few have managed to step in to the \u201coptimising\u201d space, where we state that analytics is truly predictive (7%). It\u2019s easy to see then that there are still barriers in place which are preventing analytics from having real impact.<\/li>\n
    3. Culture Is Not the Culprit by<\/a><\/strong> Jay W. Lorsc and Emily McTague for Harvard Business Review.
      When organizations get into big trouble, fixing the culture is usually the prescription. That\u2019s what most everyone said General Motors needed to do after its recall crisis in 2014\u2014and ever since, CEO Mary Barra has been focusing on creating \u201cthe right environment\u201d to promote accountability and head off future disasters.<\/li>\n
    4. Workplace Flexibility Matters For Men, Women And Your Bottom Line<\/a><\/strong> by Brendon Schrader for Forbes.
      For many years, when we talked about \u201cworkplace flexibility\u201d or \u201cflex time,\u201d most people really only thought it applied to working mothers. But workplace flexibility has always been something fathers value, too. And the conversation about flexible work is becoming more and more gender-inclusive.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
    5. The Quantified Workplace: Technology vs Trust?<\/a><\/strong> by Andrew Spence.
      Jo, an Account Manager is being taken to the office in a BUG, a BeemerUberGoogle driverless car.  She is discussing her day with her automated coaching partner, Sirius. \u201cI notice that you had less alpha-rhythm sleep last night.   I suggest you have some breakfast, to increase your energy levels. At 11am you have a meeting with the new Client Executive.  She is usually sceptical initially but warms up.  Remember to ask an open question, and smile to help her feel at ease.  I notice that Lee, your Insights Manager, has a different socialising pattern and lower productivity since coming back from sick leave last week \u2013 might be worth checking in with him today while in the office?”
