IES Perspectives on the HR Year Ahead 2012
This report looks at opportunities for change, whilst ensuring your workforce and managers are in a strong position to embark on them.
Creating social networks for learning and sharing ideas
This paper discusses the potential for new technologies and social networking to facilitate new ways of learning. It presents key themes from research carried out for the NHS into establishing new social networks for knowledge and idea sharing, and also offers hints and tips for establishing a new online community.
Learning to swim, learning to fly?
This report examines how people make their way in Organisational Development (OD), what kinds of skills and experience they find most valuable and the routes they have taken to developing a top level career. We ask whether OD professionals are born or made. We asked practitioners what learning they would like to share with others wishing to develop a career in OD, and their advice is here in this report.
Measuring impact in health improvement
This guide has been developed for practitioners working for councils and public health organisations evaluating the impact of a project or initiative. It will take you through the process of designing, implementing and disseminating an impact assessment and will also provide information on the range of tools and help that is available. It aims to be a practical guide, helping you to design and conduct effective and appropriate impact assessment.
IES Annual Review of the HR Year Ahead 2011
Two perspectives are addressed in this review of where HR is going in 2011 by thirteen of IES's HR researchers. In the first, we consider the recent experiences and research on restructuring organisations and the critical role of leadership in doing this successfully. In the second, we consider more specific ways in which organisations are rebuilding morale and performance in their workforce as they emerge from recession and cost cutting.
Better…Together
Better...together is the story of a small internal team which championed the people and cultural aspects of change during and after HSE's move from a split headquarters in London (Rose Court) and Bootle to a single HQ in Bootle (Redgrave Court). Better...together has not been a 'culture change' programme as such; it hasn't re-examined corporate values for example but it was 'a good time to look at identity'. It has, therefore, played an important role in highlighting the importance of organisational culture at a time when HSE was about to undergo a significant period of change.
