Let’s Do Away With HR



Can we begin to boldly pursue realities? Let’s do away with HR.  Don’t you think managers should be doing “HR’s job”?
I think in amazing number of cases it’s not really HR’s job.
Want your HR team to be useful and provide genuine value to the organization? Let HR focus on strategic activity, supporting the critical business functions, and planning for the future.
Why?
Because when you spend all day fighting fires, responding to emergencies (real or imagined), and generally acting as a support for managers who won’t manage, there’s no time for the activities that will truly demonstrate the value of HR.
Should HR completely get out of the practice of being a facilitator for employees and managers?  Let’s discuss.
A large portion of the support that managers request from HR is actually work that could (and arguably should) be accomplished by the manager.
Disagree? Unhnnn…the choice is yours, but I’d like to explore getting rid of HR as it’s all-too-commonly practiced. It’s about time.
A lot of thought-provoking and inspiring sessions will happen at the CIPM’s 45th Annual Conference from September 18-20, 2013 in Abuja, Nigeria. Planning to be there? Please visit www.cipmnigeria.org  to find out who will be speaking and what they’ll be talking about or go to like the conference facebook page. It’s going to be exciting!
You will reach your zenith!

7 Important Questions that Can Radically Change Your Life & Work

Image
If you don’t detest where you are, you may never really move forward to a better place. Start by questioning why you are at where you are right now. Questions are powerful – they provoke insights & deep reflections. The questions you ask determines what you see, where you live, how you use your energy and much of who you eventually turn out to become. While it’s true that most times the world in which we live only wants to reward those who provide answers; asking important questions are always the start of great things. Every time you struggle in any area of life, it means good strategy is lacking. Here are 7 important questions that are linked to a super-life strategy that I think you should consider asking yourself constantly: 1.       What differentiates me from everyone else?         Be ready to be unconventional and different.

Creating the Future The only way to prepare for the future is to make the most of ourselves and become as productive and flexible as possible.
