| | | | How The Knowledge Economy Is Completely Redefining HR |
| | The “knowledge economy,” coined in 1967 in Peter Drucker’s The Effective Executive, has marked the transition from the production-centric model of the Industrial Age (think Henry Ford’s assembly line) to a new structure focused on intellectual output from employees. This shift has, of course, transformed human resources management. One could argue that the knowledge economy has ushered in HR’s renaissance, evolving from a one-dimensional focus on singular tasks and outputs into a practice that increasingly mirrors the multidimensional complexity of human beings and “our heads” (to use Drucker’s words). Brilliant minds and leaders have articulated many of the traits, best practices, and organizational mindsets underlying the knowledge economy: specialization, trust, strong culture, and contribution, to name a few. But in many ways, one can think of each of these facets as another channel through which to “engage” an employee. And companies with engaged employees see 87 percent higher retention and 202 percent more revenue (among other benefits). |

The idea grew from Josh Bersin’s report on creating irresistible organizations. In this report, he describes simplicity as fundamental, involving “the removal of formal bureaucratic overhead” while favoring “trust, autonomy, and a focus on cooperation.” Far... | Read more » Comment » | |

| Are You Pushing the Limits on Your Labor and Your Workforce? | By Janine Truitt, Thursday, March 31, 2016 7:12 AM | One of the first things I learned in Industrial Psychology was the breakdown and distribution of labor. I learned what it meant to have a full-time equivalent (FTE), part-time, temporary and per diem/on-call staff. Each of these components serves a different and essential purpose to your workforce planning. In fact, you cannot actually... | Read more » Comment » | |
| What Women Want From Today’s Workplace | By Cord Himelstein, Thursday, March 31, 2016 5:50 AM | Comedian Demetri Martin does a comedy bit about how if you want to sound like a creep, just add “…ladies” to the end of everything you say, as in, “Thanks for coming to the show… ladies” and, “Help, I’ve fallen into a well and I’m trapped… ladies.” It’s funny because it’s true –... | Read more » Comment » | |
