Tune Out the Noise: Use These 6 HR Key Performance Indicators
In today’s fast-moving, technological world, the types and amount of data hovering around is almost mind-numbing. Business leaders know that there can be great benefit when the right data can be tapped and cultivated in support of the organizational purpose. That is simple in concept, but a bit more challenging in practice. What is “the right” data? How is obtained? What needs to be in place to actually capitalize on it?

Keeping Your Social Cool: Why You Need a Social Media Policy
I have a friend who currently can’t find enough hours in the day to address the volume of interest he has from people asking him to help make cell phones work more reliably in their place of business. High rise, urban buildings, and dense manufacturing plants/warehouses are some examples of those hungry to address the challenge. It was initially paradoxical to me as he expressed that these organizations contacting him already operate with their own business class phone systems and Internet-linked computers. Why does it matter that access to cellular networks from those environments is limited? It turns out that for many in the workforce today the cell phone is the defacto instrument where communication is conducted; not just for personal but for business as well. So much so that companies are willing to pay money to address the need for reliable cell coverage even when sitting next to a desk phone.
