New Year’s Resolutions - HR Style
By Ron | December 31, 2008
Okay, my posts about HR Rehab, are somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I am serious concerning the need for an HR overhaul and calling it Rehab somehow fits to me. It is like going into Recovery. We are recovering from our second-class citizenship status. As Frank Roche would say, “We’re not sitting at the kid’s table anymore.”
A long time ago, I made New Year’s resolutions and didn’t keep them, so I stopped making them. Recently, I revived the process - I’m making fewer of them and reviewing them everyday so I get results. Therefore, I think that we can make a few New Year’s resolutions for HR. Here’s a few borrowed from our new “steps:”
1. We’re going to focus on the business and utilize all of our skills to make visible contributions to the bottom-line.
2. We’re de-emphasizing = social and event planning, negative comp schemes and other similar activities.
3. We’re going to be visionary leaders; not followers.
4. We’re fixing ineffective systems - talent acquisition processes, performance management systems…
5. We’re going to demand excellence from ourselves, our managers and our employees.
That’s enough. If we accomplish all of the above, we will certainly have built the table that “they” will be begging us to sit at.
