What does your business know about your people?

HR Intelligence

· Skills

· Expertise

· Qualities

· Competencies

Ngoni Munetsi, who heads up the Accsys People Management Partners Division shared his thoughts on this with me.

It seems to me that our systems have become data-led instead of information-led.

He asks “How are we leveraging the data we have about our people to create competitive advantage?”

“ Strategic information management is a basic fundamental of Strategic HR yet we continue to function as Data capturers…not as HR Strategists.

We capture biographical data about employees, but then what?

HR Intelligence is all about making forward looking decisions through capitalising your HR Information depositories.

How can you make what you know about your people count and contribute to organisational goals? How can it create Learning Organisations? These are the key fundamental questions we should be asking ourselves.”

Yes, all the data enables us to run EE reports WSPs. However, he thinks information and analytics on current employees’ attitudes, behaviours, personality, career development, and job performance is what differentiates your organisation from the next one.

You do not only need information about how many people you have, where and when you have them, but you also need to know what new talent you have to hire, who is worth retaining and whom you need to let go.

This can only be achieved through HR Intelligence; the application of BI Tools in People Management. We can call it People Analytics.

People Analytics form the basis of your decisions about succession planning, leadership development and they reveal whether the skills within your organisation have the flexibility competencies that enable change.

Ngoni believes that HR professionals should embrace HR technology. They should become people analysts. Some offices are still paper driven; processes are transactional and not strategic, plain data is stored with no utility.

“We need to move forward and become strategists through the application of people analytics.”

Its all about the numbers - retirement age

Weight, height, age, dress size, shoe size, all numbers that we (and the media) use to define people. I was fascinated by an article from the Leicester Mercury where the age of each witness to a bus crash in January were carefully listed. Sue Kellett, 56, whose front garden is bordered by the wall, was one of the first at the scene.

Is the employee toxic or simply disengaged?

Is the employee toxic or simply disengaged? And how to tell? Dissecting Employee Behaviour We spend hours of management time dissecting employee behaviour to ensure that not only is each employee delivering to a minimum expectation, he or she is not actively undermining the effectiveness of the business. We design KPAs (or KPIs, or whatever we want to call them), we run regular appraisals, we discuss career paths and succession plans, and as long as toxic employees are delivering on their job description, we keep them! It’s only after they leave, when you hear the collective deep breath of relief from colleagues and management, that you can be absolutely sure of the negative impact. Underperformance vs Undermining My view has changed – rather an underperformer, than an underminer. So what to do? Once you have firmly established that undermining is the problem, the first step is to tell them that you are onto them! Never an easy task, because very few p...

Which Wolf are you Feeding?

Which Wolf are you Feeding? An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life: (Sources – See below) A fight is going on inside me, he said to the boy. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. This same fight is going on inside you – and every other person, too. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather “Which wolf will win?” The old man replied simply “ The one you feed”. When I came across this story in a thriller by Michael Robotham, my reaction was immediate. This is a great hook for creating positive thinking and, importantly to our business, a new way to approach an age old concern. Feeding t...
