  3. What are the causes ?? • It’s time for us to be open that dealing with “Humans” is truly a challenge !! • HR people are reaching their wits end because they look for outlets within their organization and can’t find support or relief. • HR people remain isolated outside of their profession when they could be (and should be) connected !!

  7. Culture of Creativity !! • The number one reason employees stay or leave a company is it’s CULTURE. • HR needs to take the lead in defining the company culture. This is NOT the CEO’s job !! • Be creative !! (No . . . I REALLY MEAN IT !!)

  8. Culture of Creativity !! • Areas for HR to define the culture: • Work Environment – whether office or warehouse • Training Programs – Long-term vs. next trend !! • Empowerment vs. Compliance – Teach vs. Police

  9. Radically Rational !! • We need to present business solutions to situations throughout the Company. • It’s time for us to be “Businesspeople” who practice HR and not “HR professionals” who may understand their business . . . or may not !! • This is an area where we can truly excel and utilize the problem solving skills that are essential to effective HR !!

  10. Radically Rational !! • This is a skill set that will allow us to keep the “human factor” in business decisions. • “Radically Rational” means that we bring the ability to address issues in a timely and CONSISTENT manner. • HR people who take the emotion out of situations can remain a vital resource for companies because they can rationally approach issues.

  11. Enthusiastically Engaged !! • Employee Engagement is THE issue that will maintain retention in our current Labor Climate. • If HR is NOT engaged, how can we expect staff to be engaged ?? • HR MUST be the model for the organization when it comes to Engagement.

  12. Enthusiastically Engaged !! • Engagement How To’s: • Walk the Talk – Don’t tell Upper Management about Engagement if you are not engaged yourself. • Develop a Mentoring Program – Your organization can use this to have your leaders be real champions because they are molding your future !!

  13. Enthusiastically Engaged !! • Engagement How To’s: • Focus on Development !!! – Eliminate punitive performance review systems and replace them with an avenue for staff to truly develop. • Have Fun !! – It seems so simple, but work should be fun. This is how your Culture leads to your focus of Employee Engagement.

  14. Astounding Attitude !! • HR has to examine itself to see if it is “championing employees” or “keeping them in line.” • Stop “Putting out Fires” !! - We only have fires if we are reactive vs. proactive. Team Member situations are a fact of our role. • Address the “trolls” of your organization and get them out !! (With all credit to Scott Warrick – Troll Killer !!)

  15. Moving Magnificently !! • It is the OBLIGATION of every HR professional to move their Company forward !! • HR professionals must continue to develop themselves professionally both within their organizations and externally within their profession. • Again . . . if HR models this to the workplace, development HAS to occur.

  16. Moving Magnificently !! • Robert Quinn talks about the fact of “Deep Change” or “Slow Death” in his book “Building the Bridge As You Walk On It” • HR has to generate and initiate change in organizations !! • Get connected, Get connected, Get Connected !!

  17. Moving Magnificently !! • Getting connected outside of your organization is key to remaining passionate about HR !! • Join SHRM !! • Get your certification (PHR, GPHR, CEBS or SPHR) !! • Join your local HR Chapter !! • Join Linked In, Twitter, Facebook, etc. • Join the HR Net !!

  18. STAY PASSIONATE !! “Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail . . .” Ralph Waldo Emerson
