Insights and thought leadership from the consultants of Hay Group

Hay Groupin ja Fortunen Most Admired Companies – tutkimuksessa on peräkkäisinä vuosina saatu varsin yllättävä tulos, Apple on ottanut ykköspaikan kategoriassa ”Most Admired for HR”. Sinänsä tuloksessa ei ole mitään ihmeteltävää, Applehan on tunnettu innovatiivisista tuotteistaan ja sitoutuneesta henkilöstöstään. Se, mikä tekee ykkössijasta yllättävän on se, että Applella ei ole ollut vuosikausiin henkilöstöjohtajaa. Siitä huolimatta sen henkilöstö on erittäin sitoutunut, yritys on arvostettu ja tekee vielä loistavaa tulosta.

Mavis was first and foremost a university academic; she had studied the growth of executive pay in Western economies shortly before the European Unrest of 2013/14, the revolutions in Greece and Spain and the changes to executive pay that happened thereafter. Her doctoral thesis had examined the socio-economic reasons why high executive pay contributed to instability in the European Commission but not in the USA and what the post-communist Chinese economy might learn from these events.

Despite an unemployment rate of more than 8 percent, the war for talent rages on. Even so, it’s not clear that most organizations are taking the steps needed to identify, groom and retain the right talent to achieve their strategic business objectives. Year over year, one of the key differentiators of the World’s Most Admired Companies is their recognition of the critical role their employees play in driving their success. Unlike their peers, these organizations go to great lengths to create an environment where their people can thrive. Given the scarcity of top, specialized talent, it’s critical that other companies begin to follow suit.

Rakentelin viime viikonloppuna Legoilla poikani kanssa. Alussa tarjolla oli vain iso kasa palikoita, josta kaksivuotias poikani halusi tehdä talon. ”Millaisen talon?”, kysyin ”Ison talon”, hän vastasi silmät innosta kiiluen, ”Tehdään isi iso punainen talo”.   Seuraavat kolme tuntia elämästäni menivät kuin siivillä (noista kolmesta tunnista rakentelin kaksi viimeistä itsekseni poikani väsyttyä rakenteluun). Talosta tuli eittämättä [...]

Technology company leaders have a particular set of strengths and weaknesses which can often set them apart from leaders in other sectors. The nature of work and job requirements in the sector, suggest that a subtly different mix of leadership behaviours is required; not only for the technology sector in general, but for each job specifically.

Recently Professor Patrick Wright – the William J. Conaty GE Professor of Strategic Human Resource – in the ILR School (Industrial and Labor Relations) at Cornell University, posted a blog titled, “Questioning the Most Admired”, on the website of the HR Policy Association. In it, he questioned the methodolgy used in the World’s Most Admired Companies to acheive the rankings and especially questioned why Apple continues to be in the number one spot, despite not having a HR head.

We wanted to reproduce Professor Wright’s blog here along with a response from Mel Stark, Hay Group Vice President and co-leader of the team that does the WMAC survey on behalf of Fortune.

First is Professor Wright’s blog followed immediately by Mel’s response. We also welcome your comments.

We believe that the Divine Comedy provides a very interesting analogy to the challenges facing the media sector: Like Dante, has the sector reached its middle age and is now in real danger of losing its way?

This 700-year old poem has a lot to teach those working in the media sector about how to address the challenges of the future. The story reminds us about what happens when opportunities are not taken, or a clear chance is missed. However, our story of the challenges in the media sector takes place in reverse: from Heaven, to Purgatory to possible Inferno.
