IHRIM presented over 20 Webinars in 2012 with a wide range of topics, and here’s what a few attendees said about
them: Great session! Provided me with multiple things to explore and
consider for my organization. I'm going to have to listen to the recording
because I was so busy jotting notes that sometimes I missed part of the
discussion. We will continue to provide educational webinars as part of your membership
benefits in 2013, so keep watch as we develop our educational calendar. |

Preparing for a new era of work
Global competition, emerging skill shortages, and changing demographics will soon force companies to use their most highly paid talent more effectively.
The past three decades saw companies in developed economies make huge strides improving the productivity and organizational performance of an array of jobs. Aided by advances in technology and digital communications, companies automated, reengineered, and outsourced numerous tasks that had once required full-time, on-site employees. The trend, which began on production floors, moved next to offices, where a range of transaction-based jobs that could be standardized or scripted were automated, shifted to workers in low-wage countries, or both. Through all such changes, a broad swath of employment remained largely untouched: work requiring extensive human interactions.
Research: 2013 Analytics & Info Management Trends
Predictive analysis is faster, more accurate and more accessible than
ever before. And now, combined with big data, it’s driving a new age of
experimentation.
Five years ago many companies were standardizing on one or a few business intelligence products, and interest in advanced analytics was just starting to grow. But that’s all changed.
Experimentation is back, according to our 2013 InformationWeek Analytics, Business Intelligence and Information Management Survey. Companies of all sizes and across many different industries are using analytics, and veteran users are going for new levels of sophistication. In addition, five years ago big data analysis was in its infancy; today it’s a fast-growing niche within the analytics, BI and information management domain.
Gartner Reveals Top Predictions for IT Organizations and Users for 2013 and Beyond
Gartner's top predictions focus on economic risks, opportunities and innovations that will impel CIOs to move to the next generation of business-driven solutions. Selected from across Gartner's research areas as the most compelling and critical predictions, they address the trends and topics that underline the reduction of control that IT has over the forces that affect it.
"The priorities of CEOs must be dealt with by CIOs who exist in a still-turbulent economy and increasingly uncertain technology future," said Daryl Plummer, managing vice president and Gartner fellow. "As consumerization takes hold and the Nexus of Forces drives CEOs to certain expectations, CIOs must still provide reliability, serviceability and availability of systems and services. Their priorities must span multiple areas. As the world of IT moves forward, it is finding that it must coordinate activities in a much wider scope than it once controlled, and as a result, a loss of control echoes through several predictions we are making."

Five Calls to Make When Developing a Mobile Learning Strategy
Over the past several years there has been a rising drumbeat of interest in mobile learning, or m-learning, from across the corporate landscape. With the advent of exciting new mobile devices, this drumbeat has gotten louder. Training & Development magazine listed mobile learning as one of the six trends that will change workplace learning forever. The authors of The 2020 Workplace see a time in the not so distant future when the mobile phone will “become” the office and classroom, providing everything from new-hire orientation to on-the-job performance support.

KPMG Sourcing Advisory 3Q12 Global Pulse Survey
Trends in shared services, outsourcing, and third-party business and IT service markets, gleaned from KPMG’s own field advisors and leading global service providers.
Results from the 3Q12 edition of the quarterly global Sourcing Advisor Pulse surveys find that the mix of service delivery models organizations are using in their growing portfolio of GBS efforts continues to shift and evolve. Demand for outsourcing, especially generic back-office or “horizontal” outsourcing remains weak by historical standards, according to both third-party business and IT service providers and KPMGI firms’ advisors and consultants polled. Buyer organizations’ appetites to undertake any sort of change efforts became more muted in the quarter, representative of an increasingly pervasive “wait and see” attitude in uncertain economic times. Additionally, while offshore outsourcing remains a dominant service delivery model, organizations continue to exhibit greater relative interest and investment on both onshore and nearshore outsourcing and captive shared services centers.
Social Recruiting Guide: How to Effectively Use Social Networks and Avoid Legal Risks
As usage continues to skyrocket, more businesses are recognizing the fact that high-quality candidates can be reached faster and at a lower cost by using social networks than by using traditional recruiting methods. While social networks can give recruiters a competitive edge in locating and engaging the best candidates available, adding these new sourcing options also brings potential legal pitfalls. Organizations need to be aware of these risks and how to mitigate them while leveraging this important tool to reach your recruiting objectives.
Your company may see the potential for social recruiting or may be using tools today, but a social recruiting strategy needs to be part of overall company goals and objectives to deliver true return on investment (ROI). If you’re not sure where to start, this paper will outline why social recruiting is becoming an imperative for companies today and how you can get started in reaching highly qualified candidates and passive job seekers while building company brand recognition and reducing sourcing costs.

December 2012 /January 2013 Issue – This issue of WSR is laser-focused on People – the underlying success factor or poison pill of all technology and process initiatives. Feature articles include an examination of the importance of trust in an organization and the impact it has on organizational effectiveness and project success, a collation of CHRO interviews about their perspective on HR technology and how it has or has not added value to their companies, and an informative perspective on enterprise connectivity and how important those solutions are to “managers without borders.” Additionally, our columns present coverage about leveraging MBTI (Myers Briggs) analysis as part of your project management approach to improve the probability of project success, data privacy from the people angle – how it is perceived on opposite sides of the pond based on ideological differences and what that means to us as HRIS professionals, and an article exploring why people issues in communication and culture are magnified across international boundaries and how to mitigate them. There’s no lack of thought-provoking information provided – we hope you enjoy WSR’s first ‘People’ issue!
