| Dear Workforce |
|
A question-and-answer newsletter addressing some of the most common and most
obscure HR. Ask a
question about whatever's important to you—whether it's HR, recruiting,
benefits, compensation or training. |
Clearly define objectives, obtain institutional support, select which jobs are to be rotated, tie the effort to career development and pay, and track your results.
Take out any guesswork by creating a pool of individual contributors who show an interest in advancing to leadership roles. Build a complete success profile that includes a person's knowledge, experience, competencies and personal characteristics. This process will move you from taking the easy and convenient route to one that is more sustainable.
