Strategic planning of HR

I went to a talk this evening in conjunction with my Plato team and speaking was Gerry Rooney Managing Director of Polaris HR Ltd. Gotta say i was really impressed by him and some of his idea’s really got me thinking, i’ll definately be revisiting the My strategic plans tomorrow.

One of the points i liked is to consider hiring new staff the same as any other investment. They need to create a ROI of at least 3/4 their investment after a reasonable introduction period. If you make an investment in staff and its just not working out, then you should revisit if you would make the same investment knowing what you now know. Sounds harsh at first but really is it fair to hold on to a staff when effectively what your doing is keeping them from reaching their full potential else where??

Dave Spoon & Lisa Maffia – Bad Girl (At Night)

Another top electro house tune doing the business on the dance floors 8/10.

Finally a decent slow song!

Plain White T’s – Hey There Delilah

So yeah its been around over a year, but now its on general release and is EVERYWHERE i go! Possibly the best written slow song written in recent years, This song has been stuck in my head for over a week now and trust me its not a pleasant sound hear me singing it while in the office. :)

It’s got around 9 millions view on youtube which is epic!

Album is out 3rd Sept and i’d be betting its a number one.

And there next song ain’t bad either… Its about a break up… Do you reckon its the same girl??
