Last month, we were involved with a great Webinar with HR.com. It featured presenters Steve Roesler CEO of Roesler Communications and blogger at the popular All Things Workplace, and Kathy Anthony of O’Sullivan Creel, a long time Halogen customer.

Last week we hosted a webinar in conjunction with the Human Capital Institute (HCI). It was all about organization centric goals, tracking goal linkages and the results from such a process. We called it “Sculling to Success” because, just like in sculling or rowing, the amount of energy, dedication and alignment put into the effort is directly proportional to the results achieved.

So we’ve just got a few days to go before we head off to SHRM. I’ve been meaning to drop a line about the event, but you know how busy it is getting ready for such a big show! We’ve got some great news to share at SHRM this year, and we hope you’ll drop in to see us at Booth #818 if you’re going.

A couple weeks ago, Heather discussed the idea of weisure and how employers need to adapt to the blurring lines between work and leisure. A big part of the discussion that this post didn’t really touch on is the debate around the Results Only Work Environment (ROWE).

When it comes to talent management, goals can make or break an organization. Goals have the potential to be strategic tools to gain the maximum output from the collective contributions of all individuals in an organization – if they are properly managed. Goals direct the use of time, attention, effort and resources and ensure everyone in the boat is rowing in the same direction.
