Page 12
Disconnection disorder 1 of 3
SYMPTOMSDisconnected from the business, especially the commercial realitiesPhysically seperated from the operations so no-one sees HR or knows what it doesNever meets customers, so doesn’t understand what the business is aboutProvides solutions to problems that no-one knows they have, driving an agenda that does not deal with real issuesBest practice is great but only when the context is relevantNo-one understands HR because it uses its own jargon
Page 13
Disconnection disorder 2 of 3
IMPACTEveryone in HR is busy doing lots of HR stuff that fails to make a difference to the organizationThis results in HR lacking credibility and being seen as disconnectedHR is sidelined when important decisions are being madeThe danger is key people issues are not taken into account and come back to haunt the organization

Disconnection disorder 3 of 3
CURESHR professionals should think of themselves as business people first and HR people secondBe fascinated not only by business, but by your business-read about the industry and spend time understanding where the stresses are, how money is made and customers are satisfiedSpend more time on the numbersPrioritize what is done by the impact on the bottom lineMeasure success against value creation and the difference HR makes

Relocation-getting it right
Page 16
Relocation-getting it right 1 of 2
Give people reasonable notice, state what the business case is for moving someone, and consider offering them financial assistance.If you want to move somebody or you want to have the right to move somebody, it would be advisable for an employer to make that an express term in their contract.If moving employees outside Canada, support before arrival helps.Consider the rest of an employee’s family. If the family is unhappy the employee is unhappy, and ultimately their work will not be up to scratch.

Consider whether people need to be office-bound each day.Don’t overlook severance obligations at the early stage.Consider how you are going to hire people at the new location, did into the detail with local recruiters.Meet people individually, to discuss the relocation, as soon as possible.
