What HR Needs to Do NOW. In THIS Economic Downturn

A must-read.  Frank Roche, author of the KnowHR Blog shares his list of the ten things HR needs to do in this economic downturn.  Can you guess my personal favorite?  Number 7, naturally:

Listen to comp consultants who link metrics to company performance. And boot out anyone else who’s trying to sell you the comp plan du jour. When times get tough, fundamentals matter and gimmicks have to get kicked to the curb. Make sure you know the difference.

Really, this is solid advice in any economy, but critical now.  Are you paying attention?

Thanks, Ann. I've heard a lot about Lesson #7 from you. You're always talking about the fundamentals, and using data. I really like that, and it's right on the money these days. (And, as you point out, anytime.)

That's a terrific HR blog. Heavy on the well thoughtout content, short on the opinion and conjecture, but yet lively.

Glad that you agree. KnowHR has a lot of big fans, particularly among the HR blogging crew.
