The 800-lb. gorilla of HR technology sits where it wants to, talks when it wants to and, certainly, only to whom it wants to. While its five-year-old map to Fusion is getting a little less blurry, no one who is actually in the know has indicated its final destination. We may be hearing one soon.
Studies that look at the effectiveness of online training, compared to classroom-based learning, offer some conflicting results. Online training seems to be more effective for older, motivated students, while the classroom works best for younger low-achievers. There are some lessons HR leaders can take away from the findings.
Talent-management programs require hiring managers and HR leaders to focus on skills and abilities, and ignore the irrelevant. That's why bias -- for whatever reason -- ultimately harms a company's bottom line as the most-qualified candidates are ignored in favor of nonproductive reasons.
A lot has changed in the past 25 years when it comes to company-sponsored retirement programs. In this column, Harnett explores the roots of the current shift from defined-benefit to defined-contribution plans, and notes that innovation in core retirement design is at an ebb point right now.
