Six Good Things That Happen to HR Pros During Recessions
There’s an opportunity in every crisis, and this one is no different. You just have to squint to see it.
Bearing Blame
It’s my contention that the failure of HR professionals at Bear Stearns to move beyond the traditional business partner role to become true business leaders was a primary cause for the firm’s failure.
Recruitment Battle Plan
Every corporation, from Google on down, can learn a lesson from the comprehensive and bold recruiting practices currently in use by the military.
Five Reasons Gen X Is Cool with Gen Y
Generational experts love to talk about boomers retiring and the workplace needs of Gen Y, otherwise known as the Millennials. If you’re a recruiter or an HR pro, you can’t escape it. When’s the last time you read an article about the workplace needs of Gen X?
When the Organ Transplant Involves Employee and Boss
As selfless as donating an organ may be, the process takes on another dimension when workplace hierarchy is involved. The big issue is whether an employee is freely consenting to the donation—or might feel pressure to do so.
Why 'Commitment Coach' Must Be in Every HR Manager's Job Description

Are You a Change Agent?
Author and consultant Dave Ulrich offers three principles HR can employ to deliver the change that organizations need in today’s ever-shifting business climate.

As Gas Prices Go Up, So Can Productivity
HR leaders should enable more remote work options that help inflation-battered employees save on energy costs. Employees will not be the only ones to benefit. Studies show that telecommuters are often more productive than office-bound employees doing the same work.
Rules of Engagement
You don’t need a consultant to start getting more engagement out of your workforce. Some of the answers are common sense. The HR Capitalist has some tips on maximizing your employee engagement levels, starting with this one: Don’t hire clock watchers.
Evolution for Generalists
Rather than rant or sulk about critiques of HR generalists, here’s something to do about filling weak spots in your HR practice: A list of “smart plays” that generalists can use to create results for the organizations they serve. They can follow this roadmap, add a couple of points to give it unique style, and watch the critics fade into the background.
A Step Ahead of Trouble
More often than not, HR departments get so caught up in fighting the daily fires of people management that they have no time left for forecasting.
