LOS ANGELES, CA, November 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) Ask employees if they think their HR department is slow or fast, and this will lead to a pretty interesting conversation. That's just what eePulse, http://www.eepulse.com, and CEO at the University of Southern California did in the Fall 2010 Leadership Pulse. The leadership pulse asked leaders to rate overall, leadership confidence and the speed and accuracy of their HR function.
The Leadership Pulse
The Leadership Pulse is an ongoing, learning initiative that focuses manager dialogue on current business-metrics. In fall 2010, 677 people were asked about leadership confidence and Fast HRM. Respondents included a broad representation of executives around the world from multiple job disciplines, levels and industries.
When the data on speed and accuracy were combined with the confidence and firm-performance data, the findings were:
• Confidence and firm performance levels were highest when HRM was fast and accurate.
• Confidence scores were higher when HR was fast and inaccurate (3.67) than when HR was slow and accurate (3.59).
• Confidence scores were based on a 1 to 5 scale, where 5 is very confident and 1 is not at all confident.
• If there is a choice between speed and accuracy, fast HRM wins.
"Contrary to what you might think, some of the biggest proponents of HR speeding up were in HR," states Theresa Welbourne, Ph.D., eePulse Founder, President, and CEO and Research Professor with the Center for Effective Organizations, University of Southern California. "In fact, the HR subsample's highest confidence scores overall were associated with fast and inaccurate HR. In open-ended comments, the respondents asked that HR speed up hiring, performance management, HR metrics work, learning and development, employee engagement and more. You name it, and the respondents wanted to speed it up," states Welbourne. "We find that managers and leaders are all speeding up their own work, and if HR slows them down, they get quite irritated. HR needs to take a step back and focus on what's needed for the business vs. what's best and biggest and perhaps most popular in HRM. The teams at CEO and eePulse are working to help HR learn to focus and streamline the work and still maintain the accuracy required."
In order to help HR departments go faster and deliver on what their organizations need, Dr. Welbourne and her team are providing workshops and tools on Fast HRM. This body of work uses methodologies from agile and extreme programming to help change how HR work is being done.
"We are seeing significant success in changing how HR is being delivered, and our goal is to make sure that HR is a true contributor to agile organizations vs. an obstacle," states Welbourne.

Bilingualism and its positive effects on the learning of children
2010-11-12
Why exactly is bilingual education beneficial to children? Most Americans grew up knowing one language alone and that is English. And this system seems to have worked just fine. Other English - speaking nations are the same. So, why the sudden change of wanting American children learn other language apart from the English language? And why are the other nations teaching their children to learn other language, especially English?
Some people even go out of their way to be able to learn other language. And these are no longer children, most are in their tertiary level of ...
