Andrew - Construction Why is it that subordinates can be rated on performance but managers are too precious to receive this information? I agree you have to make it constructive, however the information needs to be presented from the subordinates about how their manager can improve. This will align the team and...
Brilliant but trouble - do you employ mavericks?16 April 2012 9:01am
Bernie Althofer - EGL I ASSESSMENTS PTY LTD I look forward to reading the report when published. In my experience, I have worked with and have met some 'mavericks' who seemed to have been at the other end of the spectrum in that they were 'introverted', deep and reflective thinkers, 'philosophers', with a deep insight into the future, and...

Auditing is critical to assess compliance with the implementation of policies, procedures and training.
Former "generous extras" now an expectation: Report04 April 2012 10:43am
Anand Shankaran - Great insights into the trends on EE. However EE was never a factor of monetary investment alone (e.g. per capita EE spend) and is more about creating employee "touch points" that impact their professional and personal lives. Several such touch points adding value through consistent and varied...
Are you doing "too little, too late" for mature-aged workers?03 April 2012 12:14pm
Chris - The most significant point for me as an older worker is the lack of development/knowledge sharing opportunities open to us who are still totally productive and committed to our organisations, possibly because the organisation checks out on us rather than the other way around. .
Are you doing "too little, too late" for mature-aged workers?03 April 2012 12:10pm
Jill Allinson - anonymous This is a topic which will become more heated over the coming years. I've just attended a talk by renowned expert on 'wisdom' in the workplace, Prof Ursula Staudinger. Her most interesting point was that as we mature in our jobs we naturally find them easier and the brain finds ways of doing...
Are you doing "too little, too late" for mature-aged workers?03 April 2012 10:23am
Catriona Byrne - Sageco Thanks Jo for the clarification. We are the very last people who would ever infer that 'older workers clock off'. Our experience is quite the contrary - as Lisa and Paul have pointed out. My point was that employers often make the misguided assumption that someone nearer to retirement age will...
Q&A: Adverse action - Know your risks02 April 2012 9:39am
Bernie Althofer - EGL I ASSESSMENTS PTY LTD Recently, I was discussing a range of issues regarding bullying and termination of employment. I was advised that a colleague of the person I was speaking to had taken six weeks leave. On their return, they were told that their job had been made redundant and that their services were no longer...
"Sensitive" investigations require extra preparation30 March 2012 10:11am
Bernie Althofer - EGL I ASSESSMENTS PTY LTD Any investigation could identify 'sensitive issues'. It seems that there is an increased expectation on line managers to conduct various types of investigations. Some of these investigations may start off as being relatively innocous but depending on how the investigation is conducted, a range...
Neuroscience helping employees work in "the zone"29 March 2012 4:02pm
Sylvia Vorhauser-Smith - Pageup People Great article - if we spent as much time on our performance mindset as we do on performance processes, we might just get the performance improvement we're all looking for.
Flexible work language must change20 March 2012 9:03am
Maryanne Duggan - DFS I would also add a point about the gendered nature of flexible work. Men and women often report (in equal numbers) a desire to work flexibly and yet stats for men accessing formal part time arrangements are very low. I think an increase in the numbers of men working flexibly would help break...
Handle complaints based on facts, rather than labels15 March 2012 3:50pm
Bernie Althofer - EGL I ASSESSMENTS PTY LTD
Amid the organisation noise of all the distractions that impact on people relationships, there can be a festering sore that will one day explode unless appropriate treatment is applied.
Handle complaints based on facts, rather than labels15 March 2012 2:27pm
Bernie Althofer - EGL I ASSESSMENTS PTY LTD There are some good points raised in this article. Experience suggests that the application of those points might be easier said than done. Despite the existence of policies and procedures, the way things are done in the workplace can have a significant bearing on how counterproductive...

Vicki Beard - Excellent article
Enable social learning or watch employees do it elsewhere13 March 2012 2:01am
Jonathon Woolfrey - Enjoyed the article, particular the use of social technologies in lieu of social media. Given the collaboration, is the word "social" also somewhat misleading? Though keeping the word "social" might keep its connotations to the technology we all visualise, so it may be needed.
