n Engagement
Linking Engagement to Business Performance (Feature Story)
Companies that take the time to examine the linkages between engagement and other business metrics capture powerful information that delivers competitive advantage. These organisations use engagement data to understand where engagement is a factor impacting business performance, and where it is not, which provides a roadmap as to where changes in people strategies will have the greatest business impact.

n HR Effectiveness
The New Face of HR: Driving Results without Driving Employees Crazy!
Many organisations have implemented an online HR portal as first point of contact for employees. Employees are conflicted about the corporate portal. When it’s good, it’s really good. But when it’s bad, the effects reach far beyond HR. Read about the good news: employers are finding that with the right combination of the right tools, they can give their people most of what they need to rise to the challenge.

 

n Talent & Performance
Achieving Efficiency and Continuing to Grow
Hewitt research shows that quick responses to a downturn in economic activity designed to achieve short-term financial goals often leave organisations facing a range of human capital constraints later on. These constraints, in turn, make it harder for organisations to respond to improved conditions down the track.

 

Training Modules: Building a High Performance Workforce
As organisations either gear themselves up for the annual performance planning cycle, or seek to address the day-to-day challenges of managing performance, one constant is the need to have highly skilled managers who are able to create the conditions for employees to excel. Click on the link above for an overview of the courses that can help you turn the rhetoric into reality.

 

n Leadership
Current Market Practice in Leadership Development
Explore current market practice in Australia & New Zealand related to leadership assessment and development. The Leadership Policy & Practice Report presents an analysis of the most pressing challenges organisations in Australia and New Zealand are facing relating to leadership development and strategies to overcome them.

 

n Compensation
Significant Shifts in the Way Employees Are Being Rewarded
