Back To The Basics

By D. Zachary Misko

The HRO Today Global HR Association Advisory Board evaluates member feedback, industry trends, and customer needs to determine what we should include in our annual project plan. As we discussed the initiatives on the table for 2018, it became clear that we should go back to the basics to remind, reteach, and educate HR professionals on the fundamentals of evaluating service and technology needs within the business. So that is exactly what we are going to do.

This year, the HRO Today Global HR Association will build tools to help HR services and technology buyers better determine and manage their needs.

HR Winners and Losers in the News

By Elliot H. Clark

This year, we’ve had a plethora of public stories that have involved HR-related topics. HR has a hard enough job dealing with everyday stuff like, umm, I don’t know hiring and retaining employees, making sure everyone is paid correctly, and managing a culture of respect and diversity. But add in these flashpoint issues and they precipitate crises. I’ve seen a few examples of HR winners and losers in the news lately, and many of them involve getting rid of problem employees. It reminds me how one of my first mentors told me: “Hire slowly and fire quickly if a problem arises.” I think that is by and large true. I know I am likely going to irritate both the right and the left below, but I’m here for HR, not political parties.
