Medium – The Top Resources For Talent Development Professionals

How to Grow Your Career in Talent Development by: Al Dea As a speaker, consultant and facilitator, part of my job is staying up to date on the current research, trends and ideas about talent development by reading what’s out there in the dialogue and discourse on new trends, stories, and examples.

Unleash – Solving HR’s biggest problems this International Women’s Day

Every year on 8 March the world marks International Women’s Day (IWD). While the idea is to celebrate the progress around gender equality and inclusion, IWD is also about highlighting areas where there are persisting inequalities, aka where urgent change needs to happen. A major area of concern is the workplace. Let’s take a look at the current state of play.

SHRM – Managers Can Help Employees Hone Critical Soft Skills

A worker’s gossiping was creating problems among team members. Neither the first-time manager nor the group’s supervisor knew quite how to correct the behavior that was causing distrust among co-workers. April Metcalf, SHRM-SCP, was the company’s HR director at the time. She used role playing with the manager and supervisor to help them learn how to address the situation, prepared them for possible responses from the employee when they met with her, and reviewed how to help prevent a repeat of the behavior. “Role playing with the manager and supervisor helped them show more confidence and be prepared to discuss this [behavior] with the employee,” Metcalf says. “Going further, detailing potential situations with the employee helped her to see the discord that it was causing […]

The Wall Street Journal | The Workplace Report – Speak Up for Investment in HR Even as Belt Tightening Looms

Human resources departments are vulnerable once again. People teams became essential partners to businesses during the pandemic and transition to remote work. But as companies confront the prospect of a recession this year and tackle slowing growth and decreasing consumer spending, organizational budgets are tightening and mass layoffs are back on the table. HR investments take a backseat, historically, during downturns. Despite the strides made during the pandemic, HR must once again develop a powerful business case for investment rather than divestment. The HR team has proven to be an invaluable—and irreplaceable—resource in assessing organizational structure and performance during times of change. Amid layoffs and uncertainty, leaders need to assess and manage the stress levels of their workforce, said Leslie Linsner, chief human resources officer […]
