"Employee Evaluations That Create Lawsuits? Not On Your Watch!"
TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESOur brand new HR HEROES HANGOUT™ series is dedicated to those who serve our societies each day, toiling in the bowels of the human capital infrastructure issues that fuel all organizations (hiring, retention, engagement, efficiency, compensation, legal compliance, policy and procedure continuous improvement, training and education, litigation mitigation, etc.); our HR HEROES! These are the unsung heroes that ensure that organizations achieve and sustain maximum human capital competitive advantage!
In this series debut episode our topic is, “Employee Evaluations That Create Lawsuits? Not On Your Watch!” In this show we discuss: 1) Employee evaluations (aka performance reviews) appear to some to be dull, meaningless tasks that some bureaucrat requires simply to waste time. No. The HR HEROES know that these deceptively simple tasks are the foundation for developing, deploying and maintaining organizational competitive advantages regarding human capital. If an organization needs the best team members, the evaluation process is the stealth tool to success. 2) Poorly run organizations ignore the entire concept of feedback (whether formally or informally, verbally or in writing). 3) Average organizations expend some time on basic compliance (ensuring that everyone completed the required forms by the required dates) but with no education to team members about why the process exists and how it could benefit them. There is no meaningful follow-up or integration of the documents into the employee life cycle. 4) Exceptional organizations understand the true purpose and underutilized power of the review process. They customize processes that fit their unique culture and maximize the review as a single swiss-army knife (to increase employee retention, engagement and loyalty while simultaneously mitigating the potential of successful legal action). Awesome! Do You Want To Be A HR Hero? NOTE: I recently had a very impressive meeting with one of the leading HR compliance firms in the US (in business since 1984)! The firm operates HRdirect, G.Neil, PosterTracker, TrackSmart!, eFile4biz.com and other HR related solutions. You will recognize many of these HR solutions in our Show Sponsor Spotlight below. One of the most important and impressive aspects of this firm is that they reached out to our website and our show! We had submitted our site to be considered for their approval for advertising via an affiliate network and their executive took the time to compliment our community (that's you) and our content (noting this HR HEROES HANGOUT series and even our site SPONSOR SHOWCASE)! I spent an hour in the meeting discussing HR in general and their firm expertise specifically. They have US federal and multi-state postings, forms, compliance solutions (many in English and Spanish)! They also have select materials for Canadian firms. I look forward to partnering with them to provide you the most up-to-date and powerful tools to ensure that you are (and/ or continue to be) an HR HERO at your organization! I know that HR may appear to be an overwhelming field at the outset and is never a profession where you can rest on your past knowledge. There are a multitude of new laws, new court rulings and new business practices to learn and adjust to (but you are never bored in this field)! I encourage you to access their solutions through the links below and support them as they are supporting us. Thank you! |
