Winning the Long Game
Whether it’s hiring, contracting, or training employees, organizations need to design talent strategies with long-term goals in mind.

Shiny Happy Employees
Four strategies that help organizations harness happiness in their workforce.
By Debra Hreczuck
Some leaders may think that caring about employee happiness somehow means sacrificing performance. Actually, the opposite is true. In order for organizations to succeed and for employees to believe in the business strategy enough to work toward improving the bottom line, leaders need to make sure they are happy, researchers say. A miserable workforce is an unmotivated workforce, and that is a recipe for stagnation or outright resistance. The truth is employee happiness is tied to performance in many areas, including recruitment, retention, collaboration, and agility. Happiness is the web of energy in an organization that keeps employees focused and efficient.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration

By Marta Chmielowicz
Modern HR departments are increasingly turning to data and analytics to guide their people strategies—but a recent study from Oracle, HR Moves Boldly into Advanced Analytics with Collaboration from Finance, shows that they are not doing it alone.
