Investigating Knowledge Management Mobilising an organisation's knowledge resources in order to achieve organisational objectives is an increasingly critical issue for corporate strategists. This Research Report provides a resource for future researchers and practitioners. It establishes what is already known and what is being researched about the way HRM practices affect the management of knowledge in organisations. It suggests ways in which personnel specialists can contribute to effective knowledge management and thereby to business performance.

Mentoring is the most cost efficient and sustainable method of fostering and developing talent within your organisation. Talented employees can be stretched to perform even better by exposure to high performing colleagues. Experience can be passed on more effectively one-to-one. Employees from groups that are under-represented in the organisation can be supported and developed by talking to others who have overcome similar barriers. This book shows you what mentoring is and how it differs from coaching. It shows you how to make the business case for mentoring and then how set up, run and maintain your mentoring program. It covers everything from selecting and matching mentors with mentees to how you measure the results. In short: mentoring works. This book tells you how.

Human Resources

How easy would your job be if people working in your sector wanted to work for you rather than any other employer? How much more productive would your organisation be? How much more would you enjoy your job? Some companies can tell you. They are the companies that the "Sunday Times" has listed as the "Best Places to Work." They are companies as big as Asda and Microsoft, or as small as the Bromford Housing Association. They have managed, through hard work and dedication, to create an environment where employees feel valued and respected; where they feel so connected to the company that they go the extra mile to give the discretionary effort required to deliver great results. Judith Leary-Joyce, one of the researchers on the "Sunday Times" list, has studied what makes those companies tick.She has spoken to leaders, managers and employees within those companies to discover the secrets that have made them great places to work. This book will help you assess where your organisation is and make the business case for creating the sort of great company atmosphere that will attract top people who will deliver excellent results. It will help you become an employer of choice.

Becoming an Employer of Choice

Strong vision and values were found to be crucial to the relationship between HR practice and organisational performance, particularly in terms of fostering a sense of shared purpose or 'the Big Idea'. Issues addressed in the briefing include: What is 'valued behaviour', why is it important, and how can organisations communicate what is required and what is inappropriate behaviour? - How can organisations identify and nurture the key values which reflect the basic assumptions about how the organisation works and how positive change might be fostered? - Why is strong culture with shared visions and values important, and how can it be developed? The research highlights the difficulty for organisations in managing all aspects of organisational culture since much of that culture exists as hidden value-assumptions. However, it also demonstrates how organisations can highlight key areas in which they can unite and create a shared vision and foster the values they want to drive their culture. The research concludes that organisations with strong shared cultures tend to enjoy better performance expressed in terms of higher organisational commitment, lower quit rates, higher customer satisfaction and improved profits.
