2007-09-04 01:15  Microsoft Company Meeting Ahoy!
Just some random events happening before the Company Meeting this Thursday ( BEWARE Seattle drivers! Stay away from Safeco field! ). Are you, like, LisaB's BFF Well, no. I think LisaB is losing momentum and getting caught up in a cult-of-personality not of her making ( what will we have this year Orange berets ). But she certainly is poised to flip the momentum she has built up and have big impact - as far as she can as the HR head - to the everyday Microsoftie. Some of the items not shared in t …

2007-08-30 15:46  At some point, it all came together and I did not even do that much!
Christine's stories inspired me to blog. My own personal fear of blogging stopped me. And so on and so forth. I wanted to be "a blogger" and use "the google" and figure out how to download an mp3. An mp...what I have noticed that as I get older (and hopefully wiser), I get a bit more timid about trying new things. The trying new things part is hard for me. The thing that makes me overcome trying new things is the people that I get to know and learn from in the process. I am a volunteer Board mem …

As trainers, we know that most of our students need some kind of visual stimulation in order to grasp the concepts we are teaching.  More than verbal instruction, or even words on a PP slide or a whiteboard, Visual Spatial Learners need pictures, diagrams, and flowcharts in order to translate the information into a mental picture. What happens, though, when we take our presentation skills outside of the classroom Take a look at others in your department, or even your boss.  Is her desk buried un …

2007-08-17 11:18  My Career, My Choice: Why I Work in Human Resources
The Evil HR Lady wants to know why I chose Human Resources as a career. Why didn't I choose HR I like it when people come to work with a bad attitude. Human Resources attracts top administrative talent, and I type 80 wpm. I'm a natural! I can alphabetize and maintain personnel files with the best of 'em. My father encouraged me to marry well, and HR seemed like an easy way to find a husband. I enjoy it when employees whine about their supervisors. There's nothing like a daily crisis at work to g …

2007-08-15 01:18  Make the EEOC Your Friend
I really don't like being a resident doomsayer, but organizational hiring and promotional practices are generally so abysmal that I am compelled to make it a big issue. Take EEOC tracking, for example. Most people think all they have to do is send in routine normal reports. Not so. They should be monitoring adverse impact throughout their entire hiring process. According to the EEOC, and best practices in general, each employer should be monitoring adverse impact by using the following rule of t …

2007-08-09 07:00  How to Create a Strategic Plan for Recruiting
Right now, every organization is cranking up its strategic planning processes. Offsites are scheduled, calendars are being tweaked, and the annual routine of budgeting and planning is getting underway. By September, everyone will be deep into the process, but many will be unsatisfied and unconvinced that they have addressed the really meaty issues. From my experiences, all the reams of paper that will be passed out containing minute details of past efforts and all the PowerPoint charts will not …

I recently changed my job and moved from my role as an International staffing consultant into an HR business partner role in the Sales, Marketing  and Services group at Microsoft.

2007-07-24 06:34  What does a HR Generalist do
Lots of time people approach me and ask "I've been approached for a HR Generalist role. What does a HR generalist do" The answer varies depending on the industry and organization being discussed. In general (!) generalists are the "Jack of all trades", they are the 'relationship managers' of HR, constantly talking to business leaders and employees. The focus always has to be to gather feedback on the HR processes in place and also to listen to the needs of the business and employees that is not …

The wizards of Deadspin got their hands on an internal memo to ESPN staffers covering a wide variety of white-collar minutia. Life inside the Bristol, Connecticut, media giant sounds exactly like life inside any miserable corporate environment. As someone who lists office politics as a favorite spectator sport, this is highly enjoyable.

Think and Search Like Your Users Last month an article on ERE talked about how human resource departments should consider recruiting recruiters with specific industry knowledge or convert individuals with that specific industry knowledge into recruiters. Recruiters who are not familiar with the subject matter they are recruiter for, have no choice but to match terms listed on a job description to those mentioned on a candidate s resume. Using this technique can be very limiting and will not get …

2007-06-28 07:00  Is Recruiting a Profession
Many people do not regard recruiting as a profession. HR generalists are prone to think that anyone can do recruiting. Managers expect unqualified people to act as interviewers and to give them advice on whom to hire. Even recruiters have mixed opinions, as many of them were not formally trained and were also HR generalists at some point. Within many organizations, there is an uneasy relationship between human resources generalists, recruiters, and management. HR generalists often try to interme …

We recently sat down with our new HR intern Diane Russell to chat about her experience here at Powerset. Our interaction was so interesting that we thought it blogworthy.   Diane's is a welcome perspective in that She is new enough to Powerset to share what Powerset appears to be like from an outsider's perspective and As a non-tech professional, she can provide insight as to why an engineering focused organization such as Powerset is enticing to more than just engineers.

2007-05-04 21:06  My Search for a KM Job
Last December I decided to put a serious effort into finding a corporate KM role. I've had the last 18 months to think about what I want to do, and spent a good bit of time participating in various KM community discussions, as well starting two KM books that have been whirling in my head. This seems to be the way I learn. First, I read everything I can get my hands on, then I spend time getting to know experts in the field and discuss all my questions with them. Next, I put it into practice̵ …

2007-04-25 16:37  What Is Employee Relations
I've read about HR people who handle employee relations. What does that encompass exactly Employee Relations, whether it's "done" by a specialist or a generalist, is always an HR function. In one company (large health care system) employee relation specialists interpret policies, coach managers, advise employees and management on issues concerning them, train groups on various subjects (policies, sexual harassment, workplace violence prevention, etc.), coordinate our internal problem solving com …

2007-04-03 16:56  Generalizing Generalists
I just read this and I'm a little unsure of what to make of it. The author is certainly making a point, though aside from making sweeping generalizations about HR generalists, I'm really not sure where he's getting his data. It's very easy to write that all (blanks) do (blank). It gets a little more difficult when you have to align facts with your statements. I would have loved to see something to back up his claim that generalists "are not experts" and "have no output or results metrics of any …
