  • Strange things happen, when you’re not around

    I’m sat writing this on the laptop in my dining room, looking out on the snow which has once again fallen and prevented me from getting into work. I am reliably informed that this has been the heaviest snow fall in the UK since the 1980’s and in one part of Scotland it has been [...]

  • Thoughts on Workforce Measurement from “The Year in Ideas” – Part 1

    There are a lot of things I look forward to during the holiday season; time spent with family, (lots) of great food, gift giving and an ever evolving mix of new and old traditions. Outside of the traditional holiday elements, one of the other things I’ve come to look forward to during the holiday season...

  • Extra! Extra! HR Suddenly Hot!

    For those of you that caught the Wall Street Journal article this week HR Executives Suddenly Get Hot you might have had the same reaction Picasso had to the incredulous admirer that commissioned a “simple” drawing by him.
