In responding to Professor Steadham's question, I found a great resource around the keys to having a High-Impact HR Organization.

I found a great article about working from home. Ms. Smith makes great suggestions about working from home. On a personal level, I do the books for our Sears Store at home. I generally complete the books on the last weekend of the month and sit in my living room. Smith(2012) suggests making a dedicated office in ones house. Since reading her article, I have set up an office in our spare bedroom. I am hoping that I will become more efficient.

Section 5: Manager Tie- In
Without a doubt, my favorite part of this week was learning about technology to support HR Analytics. I found a great whitepaper around new metrics to be used to measure company success. The metrics of particular interest were around internal promotions and terminations. At Dimensional, we have historically promoted folks from within the company. I would love to see this calculation used to measure internal transfers. I think the statistic could add to our signature experience.
At our Sears store, I would love to delve deeper into terminations. As I had shared before, we purchased the store a year ago. Since then, we have had over 100% turnover. While it can be measured, I would love to understand the why's. This whitepaper helped me with the calculation, which is a start. Our next step is to look at our pay, policy's and procedures, and opportunities for growth. Again, I am trying to apply my learning to strategic outcomes at both of my "jobs."
