IPS-EQ Model-  I don't know much about the model but am learning.  Others may find it interesting as well.

Leadership related-  Not on-boarding so much. Just an interesting article.  The Book may also be good but I need to do a little more research on the author before I will say that it is or will be worth the money.  

Succession planning is perhaps the most important job of corporate boards. Without a strong succession-planning program, companies are not prepared to fill openings created by retirements or unexpected departures, nor are they able to meet demands of the organization.

To me the importance of succession and cross-training within departments is very crucial. Yet I think still many times today people view these things as a loss of job security. Many time individuals may feel a false sense of security if they are the only person that knows how to do 'x'.

I could not agree more with your comments. I hear it on a daily basis, if I am the only one who knows this information; the organization has to keep me. Much of the fear comes from massive layoffs and reorganization-if they need the knowledge they will need me.

Interesting article about changes and trends one will likely see in the workplace. It reinforces much of our reading this semester. It discusses how the workplace needs to be re imaged.

The article identifies a couple of pieces that are important to creating a strong culture in an organization. They include building relationships, trust, the meaning of the work, and the relationship with colleagues. This aligns with much of the previous literature we have read within this course. I have also witnessed this within my organization and department. The department spends a lot of time recruiting people and making sure they will fit the culture of the department. If they have the right credentials but do not seem to align with the culture, we will not hire them. Culture is important in the workplace.

Onboarding without an HR department….views of 2 experts!

I liked the ideas and will help when I go to look at my site that doesn't seem to have much in place in an organized fashion.

The articles discusses the benefits gained from a strong onboarding process. More importantly, it addresses that onboarding is not successful when it is regarded as a one or two day process. It is ongoing processes for several months.

This is a good article. The point made in the article about whether organizations should apply metrics to measure the impact of your investment on performance is one that is often overlooked, or the organization measures the wrong items.

Nice to ADP investing so much time and energy into these articles. Good information to have.
