As the owner of a technology staff augmentation firm in Chicagoland, Rona Borre has a vested interest in providing her nationwide clients with professionals who have the skills to begin making an immediate difference in the client's company. Writing an article for CIO, How To Bridge The Gap Between HR And IT, Borre explains that HR professionals are not always aware of the exact skills the contract worker needs to fill a position in IT department. IT professionals are also not always the best at explaining their needs to non-technical associates either. At Borre's firm, Instant Alliance, team members are experts are determining the exact skill set that candidates need to perform the tasks that they will be contracted for, ensuring the ideal
candidate is sent to the client. Before founding Instant Alliance, Borre discovered her passion for IT recruiting understanding what her clients needed; as CEO, Borre looks for the same passion and drive from her team. She does, however, believe that a balance between work and a personal life is important. When interviewed by Blue Sky Innovation, Borre says that her top producers are given the option to work from home several days per week, or they can come in late or leave early. Understanding that happy workers are more productive, Borre encourages her team to be great, not just good, knowing that their hard work will be rewarded.

Caren Campano was a 42 year old woman working a decent job, and married to a man 15 years younger than her. Chris, her husband, was a drug addict that did not have steady income. The night she disappeared they had a large argument, and according to Chris, they both left the house in separate directions to cool off. She left on foot, and he left in the truck to a bar. The next morning he called her job asking if she was at work and they said she never showed up. He called and made a missing person’s report. The investigators went to their house and stated the house was in good condition, and did not look like she left. There was no signs of a fight. However, they found a large brown stain that was still wet next to the bed. When they tested it, it was positive for blood, and when they pulled the carpet back, there was an even larger blood stain on the cushioning under the
Renee Heikamp, 19, and case worker from the Catholic Children’s Aid Society (CCAS), Angie Martin, were charged with criminal negligence resulting in the 1997 death of newborn baby, Jordan Heikamp. The charges were dropped shortly after Jordan’s death, due to a lack of evidence from the investigation of a 63-day inquest. (CBC, 2001). Renee Heikamp and her baby were residing at the Anduhyaun shelter that services Aboriginal women fleeing abuse during the time of his death. Jordan Heikamp had starved to death, weighing only 4 pounds, 4 ounces less than what he weighed at his pre-mature birth, in May 1997; a photograph shown to witnesses at the inquest revealed the corpse of the baby who was little more than a skeleton.

Milwaukee teacher Katherine Gonzalez had a twisted way of helping her 11-year-old "chronically depressed" student cheer up.
The optimal scenario of the AHA would be to have a differentiated workforce that would consist of identifying "A" players and "A" positions throughout the organization where wealth or value is created to contribute to the bottom line of generating the billion-dollar goal by 2010 and placing those players in all positions throughout the organization. However, the reality is that the best action for the AHA due to budgetary and time constraints is to make strategic investments in the workforce that will have high impact and drive desired results by putting the right people in the right places and not the right people everywhere. The AHA did this by creating a new talent framework driven by eight operational goals to help build the foundation for how they will identify their "A" players and positions for strategic investment. The objecti...

I, Hildegard Hedwig Steinberger, a resident of the State of Georgia, make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, revoking all wills and codicils at any time heretofore made by me.
In an effort to gain a working understanding of the Human Resources field, I chose to interview the Director of Human Resources for an organization in Miami, Florida. What I learned goes far beyond any classroom or textbook instruction. It is clear; the field of Human Resources will never be static, as society, technology, and legal environments change, so will the field of Human Resources.

With over 36,000 employees, Dell is a member of the rapidly changing and expanding computer technology industry. This industry had achieved enormous growth in the last decade. Dell’s stock rose 29,000 percent in the 1990’s and as of the second quarter in 1999; Dell was tied for first place in the market. Dell faces stiff competition from technology giants such as IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Compaq. With such robust expansion in the technology industry and the economy, it is becoming increasing difficult for companies such as Dell, who experienced a 56 percent growth in workforce in 1999, to fill positions with quality applicants. Dell is currently seeking applicants for positions in sales, corporate finance, engineering, manufacturing, and most especially, information technology. Dell currently hires approximately 2000 employees a quarter. With such rapid growth and expansion the temptation surfaces to simply fill a position with a body. “Unless you have a good process in place, you run the risk of not always hiring the best people. There can be a tendency to say ‘We need people so badly, a fresh body is better than no body,’” as summed up by Steve Price, vice president of human resources for Dell’s Public and Americas International Group. To avoid this scenario, Dell has created a web-based Organizational Human Resource Planning (OHRP) process. These processes help a business unit focus on and anticipate growth and staffing needs. In addition the OHRP process allows managers to do their own succession planning, identify key jobs, and formulate competency planning and employee development. The OHRP process also tries to pick out qualities new employees will need by analyzing the skills and qualities of current top performers.
