I have a candid agreement with my team to ensure that they keep me honest and hold me accountable when I inadvertently "oversell" the value of our HR solutions. I've learned a valuable lesson from past experiences where I overstated the benefits of our talent management practice. Instead of fostering excitement and buy-in, I inadvertently set unrealistic expectations regarding how quickly the practice would deliver results. It's as if I were selling a sprint but ended up running a marathon. In our latest episode, Marna and I engage in an honest conversation about the potential pitfalls of implementing a talent management practice and emphasize the importance of adopting a long-term perspective. We openly discuss the mistakes we made and provide insights on how to avoid them. Join us as we share our experiences and insights on this journey towards more effective talent management practices. #hr #humanresources #talent #careers

To some, it might seem obvious that HR is more psychology than analysis. But if that were true – I wouldn’t have learned so much about analysis from a career in HR. So which side does it fall into – what skill set is the most important.   Maybe there’s an answer in my new article on Substack – Is HR Psychology or Analysis?   Plus! There’s a new podcast of the article “Are Our Thought Leaders Teaching Us The Right Things?” posting Friday too😊   All on Substack…I’m just saying…     Don’t miss a great article coming out on Friday – “Is HR Psychology or Analysis?” – only on Substack😊 https://lnkd.in/gbTmm65x . Visit my profile to link to HRPMO University!   #hrstrategies #hrstrategy #humancapitalmanagement #hr #humanresources #leadership #leadershipskills #leadershipdevelopment #projectmanagement #HRIS #projectmanager #economy #operations #criticalthinking #upskilling

The persistent skills shortage coupled with an increasing list of 'must haves' when employees are evaluating a potential (or current) employer is making the fight for top talent absolutely fierce! 🔥 Identifying and planning against skills gaps is essential to ensuring that your workforce is agile in the face of the rapidly evolving economic environment. Talent doesn't always need to be recruited in externally though... Are you planning strategically with the workforce you have? Here's our guide on 5 pillars to closing the skills gap. Get in touch with me directly if you feel a conversation and further insights would be helpful for you and your organisation! #GartnerHR #HR #TalentStrategy

Record low unemployment, changes in work attitudes and expectations, and the high cost of replacing people who quit have made retention strategy a high priority for HR leaders. A recent eBook shares ways to enhance your organization’s talent acquisition and retention strategies: https://hubs.li/Q01Z26L_0 #unemployment #retention #HRLeaders #talentacquisition

So, I have a bone to pick with SHRM (Society for Human Resources Management). In my experience, I know there are a lot of definitions of “strategy” floating around out there – everyone seems to have their own interpretation. But I think SHRM’s definition and categorization of HR Strategy in the SHRM BASK is wrong. Now, I suspect some of you might ask “What in the h*ll is a BASK?”   I started this post as a short daily post. But the longer I developed it – the bigger it got. Now it’s a newsletter titled “Are Our Thought Leaders Teaching Us The Right Things?”   I guess I kinda had a lot to say.   Read it on SubStack😉     Subscribe to my Substack! There’s also a great article coming out on Friday – “Is HR Psychology or Analysis?” – only on Substack😊 https://lnkd.in/gbTmm65x or visit my profile to link to HRPMO University! And I’m trying to get into podcasts – but my writing takes a lot of my energy. I’m working on it.   #hrstrategies #hrstrategy #humancapitalmanagement #hr #humanresources #leadership #leadershipskills #leadershipdevelopment #projectmanagement #HRIS #projectmanager #economy #operations #criticalthinking #upskilling #SHRM #hrcertification
