The 2 Main Problems with Your Employee Referral Program | Meritage Talent Solutions - 3 views

  •  
    Most companies of any size have an employee referral program. Best in class programs provide 40% or more of their new hires through employee referrals. Many studies show that employee referral hire...
  •  
    Kathy, This was a really good article, gave me new perspective on employee referrals. I periodically monitor the job board here at my company for myself and a few of my business contacts outside of the company. I need to suggest to my contacts that we become more aware of all our skill sets to help ensure a better fit when looking for employment.

Alternatives To The Annual Performance Review - 1 views

  •  
    "Don't scrap it, Fix it!"
  •  
    Good article. I found many of these same alternatives in other reference material. And the author is correct on how many annual reviews become less productive than the daily interaction. We practice month one-on-ones at Amazon and often those feel like scripted messes instead of productive interactions, I find more practical advise in review the days problems like we had to after Saturday and the programming issue which impeded my workers for 45 minutes until an engineer could reset the robotic delivery field. Anyway, I agree that major changes need to happen before performance reviews become anywhere near as constructive as the type of conversation I had with my boss yesterday.

    The trends discussed in this interview are ones I have noticed in my organization; vertical development, innovation, group versus individual, and greater emphasis on development being owned by the individual.

Disney College Program - Florida Onboarding Home | Jobs and Careers - 3 views

  •  
    I am a Disney fan but now knowing a person who works there and seeing their on boarding process (via this website) it is no wonder that they are such a huge and successful company.   The website goes through, what looks like, everything a person would need to know in getting started at Disney.   I could see how helpful a website such as this would be to almost any profession.  Disney obviously has enough money to produce this website and keep it current, but I do not think that would be too hard or expensive for a school district, police agency, banking industry, military, or many other professions to implement.

    I did my undergraduate at the U of WI Stout and they had a huge partnership with Disney and doing internships. I heard some really great stuff from friends that did their internship there and had positive things to say about the onboarding.
  •  
    I really like the idea of a website once you are hired. I would be a great resource for so many things and even though labor intensive to get up an running should be easily maintained. Wouldn't need to be as elaborate as Disney just so the information is accurate. Thanks for the article
  •  
    My niece just completed an intership this summer with Disney. She was pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive the website and training was for interns. Eventhough she was scheduled to intern for six months, everything about the training and experience won her over to want to be a lifetime employee of Disney. Many companies could learn from this model.
  •  
    I heard that the first two days of employee orientation is strictly story telling. They use the 'cast' members to acclimate employees to the Disney culture using stories. I feel like this is really in sync with Disney culture and would also be a very effective way to get employee excited about their role in the bigger Disney 'story'.

Learn the game - 3 views

  •  
    The use of multiple forms of gaming, can produce excellent talent, and improve worklife.
  •  
    Bob, My organization uses gaming to engage the public to help them understand financial concepts that many find too complex or difficult to understand. We also recently implemented gaming as part of our on-boarding process to educate and engage new employees to learn more about the functions and responsibilities of the organization. The public has embraced the concept of gaming, while its use as an on-boarding tool is receiving mixed reviews. The younger generations loves it, while many of the long-term employees don't see the value and feel it is a waste of people's time and the organization's money. It will be interesting to see if gaming is a fad or not.
  •  
    My company outsourced to well being company to help employees become more engaged in lifestyle choices. Never dawned on me that the challenges or gamification was being done. I'll be forwarding this article on to others outside our group, very interesting read and informative.

Performance Management | CSOD - 1 views

  •  
    Some interesting points
  •  
    Fun fact - this is actually the system my organization uses. I am on system administrator on the roll out and implementation of Cornerstone into our organization. This year will be the first year our employees are setting goals in the system so next year we will actually being doing performance reviews in the technology. We currently just have a paper performance review process, so using Cornerstone will hopefully be more efficient.

    A lot of software options for talent management growth.

11 Ways to Improve Your Onboarding Program | When I Work - 4 views

  •  
    Onboarding programs are the first experience many employees will have with an organization. Keep them interested and keep it simple.
  •  
    Enjoyed the simple format that can easily be put into action. Also the link to creating metrics as that feels like a difficult part to draft without some ideas.
  •  
    By keeping it simple, in my opinion, makes everyone feel balanced in the first few months of employment with a new company.

The 7 C's: How to Find and Hire Great Employees - 6 views

    Forbes article

  •  
    Wow 7 C's….my article only at 4….this has some great "additional" information.
  •  
    Good article, nice to see the 7 C's and an observation point from a leadership level owning up to be a contributing factor for new employee success rate.
  •  
    There it is again with that compatible non-sense. That is why organizations get jammed up in lawsuits, and lose huge sums of money. Its a whole new generation of employers thinking that they should hire based on "Cultural matches" which are made up in the first place. That is a preference, and it cannot be articulated on the bench in front of a jury of 12. If you can't defend it, then don't make it a core competency or requirement. Make it a subfield, or a preference.

    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.

How to Build an Onboarding Plan for a New Hire | Inc.com - 3 views

    Good ideas for starting an onboarding plan and ideas to being. Will come in use as I develop a plan
  •  
    Callie - good article - onboarding should start with the first click - I was reviewing my company's website today and for the career section, it's down until the 10th, not a good sign for those seeking opportunities with FFIC.

Wingham Rowan: A new kind of job market | Talk Video | TED.com - 2 views

  •  
    Kristin, This is an interesting talk and topic that can help employers who have short-term openings connect with people who can work limited hours or days. When I worked in New York, my former company used some of these boards to hire short-term, or event driven employees. It was only used for jobs that required limited skills. I am not sure that if this would be viable in roles that require a lot of experience or technical skills.

    Speaking of "war for talent"….here is a good article about some "out-of-box" recruiting strategies.

    I particularly like the idea of group interviewing, at least on a small scale. It allows for more than one perspective to be gathered on a potential job candidate.
  •  
    Eric, I would agree…but an organization needs to be careful. I sat on an interview panel one time with 11 people on it; it was so difficult to make a decision with 11 people giving "their opinion". I agree with you, "at least on a small scale".
  •  
    Oh my, a group of 11 people, I would have been a nervous wreck. I feel that around 3-5 people is a good number, easier to find a nice pace for the interview process to flow and provide the needed information for both sides.

9 Sensational Traits of Highly Promotable Employees | Inc.com - 2 views

  •  
    Good article to remind one what to look for in employees and self. One of the aspects of the behavioral interview for leadership in my organization focuses on servant leadership questions. It is hard to leaders others when "what's in it for me" is the primary focus.
  •  
    Hi Jen, I love this article! Though it's the hard truth that many times we see people promoted over us that do not display this characteristics. However, when I think about the best leaders or the people I would pick to work with in a team, they definitely display these characteristics.

    On the SHRM website they have great information for all sorts of HR topics. Click on the "download your free report" as this is a great tool for onboarding. They discuss the Four C's (Compliance, Clarification, Culture, Connection).

    You beat me to it, this is my go to website to see if any new regs, or pubs come out! Trends are a big one which seem to be what drives organizational change. The problem with trends is they fizzle out quickly. I mean come on seriously? New Coke? Come on!!!
  •  
    I saw this website when I was looking at articles but didn't know if it was a good one or not. Sounds as if you both use it so will have to keep that as a good source.
  •  
    The SHRM website is a great website to visit on a lot of HR related topics. I would recommend it as a useful website.
  •  
    Looks like we all like this website. Solid practical advice given in the article.
