As I mentioned a few days ago I have been asked to help re-write a topic in AHRI’s Professional Diploma of HR looking at measuring and reporting on the effectiveness of HR and selection and implementation of HRIS systems. Over the last few days I have been re-reading lots of books and articles I haveContinue reading “Educating HR on metrics & technology”

Justifying Social Networks?
UPDATE: I changed the title as I hated it, don’t even like the new one but it is better. For some of my new readers I suspect this post is a bit “old-skool” in style. Jason Corsello from The Human Capitalist blog wrote an interesting piece the other day proposing that maybe HR could shepherdContinue reading “Justifying Social Networks?”
Technology is still failing to meet the needs of HR
Sorry this is a major rant, I don’t have time to fully explore the whole issues but I had to blog about it anyway. Watson Wyatt Worldwide released a press statement overnight that concerns me greatly and leaves me to believe that either their research is wrong or technology has fundamentally let down HR overContinue reading “Technology is still failing to meet the needs of HR”
Cyber attacks, SaaS, SOA and your business
Over the last month or so Estonia (a small Baltic nation) has been under attack, not a traditional military attack but a cyber attack. The NY Times provides a good run down (via Kim Cameron) of what has been going on. When Estonian authorities began removing a bronze statue of a World War II-era SovietContinue reading “Cyber attacks, SaaS, SOA and your business”
Inside out, back to front and open recruiting
Rob Merrill over at GoodRecruits has a taken several ideas that are brewing across the blogosphere and produced an interesting business idea. Jobster, but distributed… Rob feel we all need to get into Microformats, Microformat Search engines, social networks, XFN (or would RapLeaf be just as good?) mash them all together and create a distributedContinue reading “Inside out, back to front and open recruiting”

More on HR 2.0 or is it 3.0?
(Yes I know I am flogging a dead horse.) Systematic Viewpoints has provided his opinion/views/position on HR, SOA and Web 2.0, within which he has questioned how to use RSS for an integrated worklist and poses several questions. All very important and shows a snippet of the issues/concerns that need to be resolved, I haveContinue reading “More on HR 2.0 or is it 3.0?”
Wiring the web and organisations
Following the recent posts on RSS, Web 2.0 and the impact on HR vendors I was listening to the Gillmor Gang talk with Ray Ozzie CTO of Microsoft on the Live Clipboard and it got me thinking.
Live Clipboard allows you to copy and paste structured data to and from a web site or your PC. If you are like me your immediate reaction is huh? But after thinking it through for a few minutes I started to understand what he was getting at.
Computerworld article on HR-XML
An article from ComputerWorld Australia on the benefits of using HR-XML for data exchange, oh, and I am one of the people interviewed for the story :-). I was called during the week about the article, about the same time as the discussion between Thomas and I was going on around HR and Web 2.0.
A great discussion underway
Thomas has responsed to my post on HR, web 2.0 and RSS. A great conversation, I would be interested in Double Dub’s view on the whole matter.
