Sometimes roles that are critical to our business strategy aren't glamorous. Are you recognising the top performers in all your critical roles, or only the "sexy" ones?
There has been some criticism of the term "Human Resources" - referring to employees are resources is considered by some to be de-humanising. But let's not kid ourselves - employees are resources for the organisations they work for.

In partnership with HCMS, I'll be running 2-day Strategic Workforce Planning Masterclasses in Perth and Wellington in May. Organisations are reporting that they see the link between Strategic Workforce Planning and profitability; yet at the same time reporting that they don't know how to start a Strategic Workforce Planning program in their own organisation. This course equips participants with the framework and tools to begin a best practice Strategic Workforce Planning initiative in their organisation.
Please follow these links for more information, bookings for Perth on Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May 2013, or for Wellington on Monday 20th & Tuesday 21st May 2013.
Please comment if you'd be interested in a Strategic Workforce Planning Masterclass in your city!
