June 30, 2008 8:15 AMSummer Lovin'The Lazy Hazy Days of HRCategory: Goal Management Succession Planning Pay for Performance Summer's finally here! The great days of backyard BBQs, soaking in the sun, and kicking back with the kids are upon us... But most of us still have to work, at least a little bit. So, what's your focus for these long summer days at the office? With many employees on vacation, this is the natural time to catch up on shelved projects or run popular training programs with smaller groups (e.g. those courses with longer waiting lists). Or, depending on your industry, it could be a time of extra vigilance around health and safety, for those who are working outdoors in the heat (and storms, with the way the weather's been going this year!) It's also important to remember employer liability, just like during the winter festive season. Employee summer picnics, pool parties, and game days can all be a minefield of alcohol use, injuries, or inappropriate behavior. Don't let your policies slide just because the temperature is climbing. Regardless of your focus, summer is a great time to get things in order for the fall, thinking ahead for the end of 2008 and what goals you want to achieve in the talent management arena. Some best practices to consider include:
It seems strange in July to be thinking ahead to next year already, but that's a big part of transitioning HR from a tactical function to a truly strategic role within the organization. Using your employee performance and talent management tool to free up your time to focus on the big picture - where you company is going, what challenges lie a couple of quarters out - is how your department will add real value to the bottom line. And then when it's your turn to take vacation you can rest easy, enjoy your lounge chair, and get lost in a good book. Happy Sunning!

April 9, 2008 5:30 AMAutomated employee performance tool helps zoo focus on high achieversCategory: Performance and Talent Management Goal Management Succession Planning Pay for Performance The Zoological Society of San Diego operates the San Diego Zoo, a wild animal park and several animal hospitals and research facilities for endangered species. They have 2,400 year-round employees and approximately 3,000 employees during the summer. Born in the early 1900's, the Zoo has a long history, and an engrained culture. In 2005, the organization implemented a new strategic plan. Part of that plan included more employee accountability, and a focus on employee recruitment and retention. Tim Mulligan, their Director of Human Resources, was brought on board to propel the Zoo with an enhanced employee performance process. MORE
