JHRS eACADEMY by eCornell Updates: HR and the Innovation Equation

JHRS — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:07:47 GMT

HR and the Innovation Equation

Products don’t innovate, people do. This statement underpins the key role HR playsundefinedor should playundefinedin cultivating a consistent, replicable method for driving innovation in organizations. But, the focus on people doesn’t just mean recruitment and retention. For HR, it also means helping to create and promote a culture of innovation, one that values and rewards risk takingundefinedas well as failure.   

To begin exploring these issues, fourteen HR executives from nine CAHRS partner companies including Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Comcast Cable, Aetna, Qualcomm, Symantec, Electronic Arts, and Amgen focused on a few major areas: talent’s role in driving innovation, how culture and internal capabilities can support innovation, and the role of external sources in developing internal innovation.

Our Executive Leadership certificate program has course material on innovation that plays in with the findings of this group and may be just what you need if innovation is lacking in your organization or personal repertoire.

Explore the first two areas of discussion talent and culture’s role in innovation, by visiting ILR Online.

Spotlight on: Strategic HR

The development and execution of a human resources strategy that is aligned with organizational goals and matched to an organization's competencies delivers tangible outcomes for an organization's people, customers, and shareholders. Such a strategy is based on transforming HR from a "business partner" to a "business leader" which requires in-depth knowledge of advanced and emerging HR topics.

As a leader, HR plays a significant role, not only in human-capital development, but in how human capital can contribute to the execution of organizational and business strategies. The Strategic HR Practices Certificate program from Cornell University's ILR School develops the leadership competencies required make this transformation.

This certificate series is designed for manager- and director-level HR professionals charged with improving HR's ability to contribute to organizational strategy and success. It is also appropriate for HR professionals seeking the advanced HR skills required for advancement to management and leadership positions.

HRDC Update

Are you working towards a Change Leadership, Managing for Execution or Strategic HR certificate? If so, you now have a head start on our latest HR certificate: the Human Resources Director’s Certificate.

eCornell Webinar: How to Keep Employees Engaged in Challenging Times

JHRS — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 01:57:59 GMT

The JHRS eACADEMY and eCornell would like to invite you to participate in a complimentary educational webinar with Professor Sam Bacharach of Cornell University:

How to Keep Employees Engaged in Challenging Times
Wednesday, September 15, 2010

or Thursday, September 16, 2010, 2:00am JPT

Employee engagement is a vital driver of an organization's bottom-line results and critical outcomes—including absenteeism, turnover, customer satisfaction, and operational and financial performance. A weak economy, internal stressors, industry- and market-based changes, as well as a wide variety of management struggles all play an exacerbating role in preventing employees from being focused and engaged. But whether you're a company executive, senior manager, HR professional, supervisor or team leader, the responsibility for keeping employees engaged often falls to you.

This informative webinar will reveal several practical techniques for keeping employees engaged and productive during turbulent times. Based on extensive research and illustrated using real-world examples, Samuel Bacharach of Cornell University's world-renowned Industrial & Labor Relations School will give you practical ideas and strategies you can use to plan and execute an effective employee engagement strategy.

We hope you can join us for this educational event.

Professionalizing HR in Japan: Needs, Challenges, and Opportunities

Dana — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 05:34:00 GMT

On October 15, 2009, a group of HR professionals representing various industries such as finance, logistics, consumer, industrial, academe, and consulting gathered to discuss the merits and potential direction of The JHRS Academy, the purpose of which is twofold:

1. To offer continuing education programs or courses in both generalist and specialist HR tracks, with an emphasis on best practices and strengthening the HR body of knowledge, skills, and competencies; and,

2. To develop, establish, and administer a Japan-focused HR credentialing program to certify mastery of basic and advanced HR competencies.

Graciously hosted by Nikko Asset Management at Tokyo Midtown, the meeting was held to discuss the preliminary findings of our online survey exploring these topics. As of 15 October 2009, over 50 respondents have given us their opinions about the continuing HR educational needs of themselves and their employees, and what they think about the concept of creating an HR certification mechanism leading to a Japan-focused HR credential.

Facilitated by Dana Gallagher, Dean and Academic Director of the JHRS Academy and Jun Kabigting, Chief Community Officer of JHRS, the meeting was a lively round-table exchange, centered on 4 questions:

1. What are the most compelling and necessary HR content areas that HR directors and HR professionals would like to take courses in?

2. What are the factors that would influence HR directors and HR professionals to enroll in continuing HR education courses?

3. How much interest do HR directors and HR professionals show in a certification or credentialing system for HR professionals here in Japan?

4. What are the pros and cons for having a credentialing or certification system for HR here in Japan?

To those HR professionals in attendance, courses in communication, cultural diversity, and change management were critically important, with ROI and relevance to one's work being key factors in deciding whether to enroll in courses. We also agreed that if carefully conceived and executed, that an HR credential could elevate the credibility of the HR profession, bringing HR to the table as a true business partner to other C-level executives.

These are vitally important topics, and ones that must be thoroughly discussed before acted upon. We will need all the input and activism we can get in making the JHRS Academy a relevant institution, so　the survey is still open for participation (take the "JHRS Academy Survey" if you haven't completed it already.) If you have completed the Survey, we certainly appreciate your input and want to continue to hear your ideas.

This is the beginning of what we hope will be a thoughtful ongoing discussion about the future of HR as a profession. Please take the survey, or leave a comment!
