Bring an HR Business Partner!

2010-03-31T08:12:00.004-04:00

For the past 7 years, I worked as an HR business partner, both internally and externally, though have never worked directly in an HR department. Within my previous organization, JobsInNH, I worked closely with HR to develop and deliver training programs, employee surveys, and employee incentive programs in addition to recruiting, interviewing, and hiring. During that time, I worked externally with organizations to help them build employment branding and recruitment marketing strategies as well as develop staffing programs to build more cross-functional and inter-departmental aptitudes (and therefore engagement) within their personnel.

During this time, I was also fortunate enough to be a member of SHRM, and have been a regular member at various times at the local HR associations in Portland, ME, Manchester and Concord, NH, Worcester, MA, and now am with the Greater Monadnock SHRM chapter. In addition to my participation in the SHRM meetings, I also regularly attended trade association and chamber of commerce meetings.

Over the years, it has become blindingly clear that there is often a major disconnect between the HR and non-HR management within organizations. At it's best, an HR office can help organizations increase productivity, decrease turnover, increase skills and knowledge, prevent law suits, and provide a safe, healthy, and inclusive workplace. It is my distinct belief that HR has the ability to affect more areas of a business than any other single department. So why the disconnect?

I guess to answer that I would need to amend that last statement. It is my distinct belief that HR has the ability to affect more areas of a business than any other single department, provided there is support from the top and buy in from the other departments. This is where breakdowns often begin. I wonder how many of us attended an HR conference last year, and came back to our offices energized and motivated, bringing a new idea with us that we believed would positively impact our company. And how many of us were able to successfully implement those new ideas? I hope it was more than a few, but I am certain that it was not the majority.

This year, which will likely be my last on the Board for the Granite State HR Conference, I am urging Human Resource professionals to do whatever it takes to bring along a business partner to your annual HR conference, no matter where you are. I've included a couple of the program write-ups below as examples, and as you'll see, there is truly valuable content available for anyone who runs a business or manages people. Fundamentally, EVERY manager in an organization works with human resources every day and can benefit from the skills and knowledge shared at these annual events.

Peter Hughes
Strategic Planning for Operational Transformation
This dynamic and highly interactive session will bring focus and insight into the fundamental planning strategies and behaviors operational and HR professionals can use to create a new dimension of success within their organizations. You will leave with a deeper understanding of the Positive Change Transformational Planning Model and how this planning model can create a sustainable level of operational success within your operating departments. This session is designed for operational and HR managers who want to make a strategic difference by transforming their functions and departments into higher performing organizations. Call it strategic planning or transformational leadership, this workshop is about creating a state of operational excellence through strategies and behaviors that any leader can use and any HR partner can help drive through the organization.

Annabel Beerel
New Realities: Responding to the Critical Signals of Change
New realities arrive at the doorstep everyday. Some are very challenging, while others are quite manageable. Whatever the circumstance, organizations must adapt to the change. The ability to identify and respond to change is a hallmark of effective leadership. Reality never disappears, even when people ignore it or create a pseudo environment they find more palatable. Now more than ever, managers and HR professionals need to hone the skills necessary to identify and adapt to new realities in the workplace. Participants in this session will learn about the importance of reading new realities, the reasons why people defer reality or create ones of their own making, and the skills needed to mobilize others to respond to the changing circumstances of our time.

Margaret Morford
Workplace Trends: Survival Secrets for the Next Decade
The workforce of the future looks dramatically different than today. Employee demographics, attitudes, and needs are evolving as fast as technological innovation can support. For managers and HR professionals, this requires a radical shift in the way you conduct business and manage talent. You need to prepare now for the seismic shifts coming soon, so you are not caught unaware and so your organization remains viable into the future. Management expert Margaret Morford will discuss the dramatic changes in store for the HR profession, some of which are happening right now and some of which are still in their infancy. The practical advice offered in this presentation will teach you what to do today to prepare for the workplace of tomorrow.

This year, bring a business partner to your annual HR conference, and bring back an ally. You'll be glad you did.

Why go to the Granite State HR Conference?

2010-01-07T10:24:00.003-05:00

I was asked by the GSHRC to blog about why this conference is worth attending – for me. So here are my thoughts on that subject... Besides getting out of the office on what is hopefully a nice warm and sunny day, attending the Granite State HR Conference has always been valuable to me (been going for the last 7 years). There are so many things that just get your engine running and reinvigorate you to go back to your organization and do great things. How about last years’ keynote speaker, Bert Jacobs from “life is good”? How fun and funny was that! His message of optimism was so valuable and encouraging especially in these hard economic times. Not to mention a few lucky people got autographed Frisbees! For me, the best part of the conference has always been the breakout sessions and the opportunity to keep up with what is going on in HR in our region and the U.S. There are so many take-a-ways, and I always manage to meet at least 1 new HR colleague that I can share thoughts and ideas with. This is especially good for me as I don’t seem to get to many HRA/SHRM meetings throughout the year. Yes, I don’t get out much! This is 1 event I wouldn’t miss – besides it being fun and educational, I feel that I owe it to my organization to stay on top of HR trends and this is a great way get a leg up on that!

Sneak Preview of GSHRC Session by Marva Goldsmith

2009-04-17T15:03:00.000-04:00

But, what if the brand is YOU?

Tomatoes + spices + high fructose corn syrup = ketchup. Right? Pretty much. For the most part we can agree that all brands of ketchup are made of essentially the same ingredients. So, how does one brand distinguish itself from all the other ketchup bottles on the shelf?

Can you accept that in the workplace (or the marketplace) you are no different than ketchup? No matter what you do—trainer, HR specialist, engineer, teacher—there are many other people who essentially do the same thing and have similar credentials (or ingredients) as you. So, what attributes make you different and special in your marketplace?

Heinz captures 50% of the ketchup market by branding itself around a single attribute, being slow. What can we learn about branding ourselves, or our small businesses, from the Heinz ketchup example? Through several successful ad campaigns, Heinz is known for slow, thick, rich ketchup. Do you remember any of the following?

Tagline: “Worth the Wait”

Ad copy: “Slowest ketchup in the West” (See it on youtube.com)

Ad theme song: “Anticipation” by Carly Simon

The packaging is now designed to accommodate this well-established attribute. Heinz changed the orientation of the bottle such that it is stored upside down. Still rich and thick, but now—no waiting.

Keep in mind that Heinz is not going after everyone who likes ketchup. Their target market is consumers who prefer thicker, heartier ketchup. If you like soupy or runny ketchup, you’re not reaching for the Heinz.

It is important to understand that “distinguishing yourself” does not mean you are the only person in your organization, or marketplace, with these attributes or characteristics. Heinz is not the only thick, hearty ketchup on the shelf. They were just first to be distinguished in that manner and now they own the brand distinction of being “the slow ketchup,” or the “thicker ketchup.”

So, in branding yourself, you are simply pointing out how you want to be characterized…what makes you different and special. Join Certified Image Professional Marva Goldsmith for an engaging look at personal branding. Learn how the three P’s of personal branding can affect your professional development.

An Abstract from 20/20 Employment Branding

2009-04-09T10:43:00.000-04:00

Abstract from 20/20 Employment Branding, by Jason C. Blais, JobsInNH.com:

Employment Brand Defined

In this session, we'll talk about creating and leveraging a "brand" to increase your recruiting success. We'll identify the strategies that are used in marketing and advertising to attract customers, and apply them to the goals of attracting the best possible candidates. So, instead of building a consumer brand focused on selling your products to customers, your goal is to develop an effective employment brand focused on promoting your business to attract the best possible candidates for your culture.

Effective Brands

WHAT Does a Body Good?
You're in Good Hands with WHICH COMPANY?
Like a Good Neighbor WHICH COMPANY is There?
WHAT are Forever?

Each of the examples above speaks to a simple and effective consumer brand. They have a distinct message that can be conveyed in very short statements, and through marketing, they have impacted the way we feel about their products. Milk is good for you. Allstate has great coverage. State Farm is your local insurance provider who is there when you need them. Want a gift that will last a lifetime... you guessed it- De Beers diamonds ARE forever.

When an employer can establish, communicate, and reinforce an effective employment brand, they will realize an increased stream of applicants better suited to their work environment, which in turn leads to an increase in employee retention. Many key factors that influence an employee's decision to stay with an employer.

A brand can generally be defined as the sum of all characteristics and distinguishable features associated with a good or service – its unique personality. Brands are comprised of logos, images, slogans, and features of the good or service, along with all the supporting communication and promotion of these items. Simply put, a consumer brand should be built around the customer experience; therefore, an employment brand needs to be built around your employee's experience.

Identifying Your Unique Employment Brand

Establishing an effective brand in the consumer market requires a company to understand what drives consumer behavior. Likewise, in order to establish an effective employment brand, a company must understand what drives employee behavior.

One essential and oft-ignored necessity of branding is identifying the current reality of your situation, not what you wish your situation was. If the branding is not absolutely true and consistent with your business today, it will not be effective and will not last. In fact, a false brand will have negative effects, and cause resentment among your current employees. For example, you can't promote excellent opportunities for advancement if you don't make a regular practice of promoting from within...

Jason will be presenting a full workshop on developing an employment brand- from creating the brand identity to measuring brand penetration. You can register for this workshop at the official website, here.
