Shades of grey or should I just get over it?

Ok so just one last thing after the Digital Citizens Event earlier this week. I posted the question below: and here are some of the responses: Part of me wonders if these responses were just a knee-jerk reaction to someone questioning personal freedom on social media (hey guys you are preaching to the converted here!

Only Wet Babies Like Change

A few weeks ago, I came across this e-book called ‘Only wet babies like change; Workplace Wisdom for Baby Boomers’ by Mary-Frances Winters. The title caught my eye and made me laugh. Was this the bible I had been looking for? Working in the public sector in Australia often means in HR that you are [...]

Developing Your HR Project Management Skills

Last Friday I attended my first North Ryde HR Network seminar at the Stamford Hotel. They had organised for David Byrum and Chris Geraghty from Kepner-Tregoe to present to HR professionals on their approach to project management, and this was something I haven’t learned a lot about, so I was keen to hear what they [...]

HR & Comms: Is a TRUE collaboration possible?

Of course there are the commonly articulated tips like for example, make sure you clarify your strategy and vision for dealing [...]

Can emotional intelligence help employees deal with change?

Each individual is different and deals with change differently and this is largely due to the way in which people perceive or view the change. When an individual experiences a change, ‘it is filtered through their preferences and appreciated and accepted, or resisted accordingly’ (Dibella. 2007). Unsurprisingly changes that are beneficial to the employee or [...]

What is change management and what does it mean for employees?

Change management may be defined as ‘the process of continually renewing an organization’s direction, structure, and capabilities to serve the ever-changing needs of external and internal customers’ (Moran and Brightman. 2001).
