This document summarizes a presentation on selecting the right people and new tools in talent management. It discusses projected leadership shortages in higher education due to retirements. New tools from business like work style questionnaires and simulations can reduce hiring costs and improve effectiveness over traditional interviews and references. A case study demonstrates how these tools were used to select a new college president. The presentation recommends colleges adopt valid assessment tools and share strengthened hiring processes with trustees to strategically address leadership needs.

This note describes our analysis of 35 papers from CHI 2011 that aim to improve or support interaction design practice. In our analysis, we characterize how these CHI authors conceptualize design practice and the types of contributions they propose. This work is motivated by the recognition that design methods proposed by HCI researchers often do not fit the needs and constraints of professional design practice. As a complement to the analysis of the CHI papers we also interviewed 13 practitioners about their attitudes towards learning new methods and approaches. We conclude the note by offering some critical reflections about how HCI research can better support actual design practice.
Session for National Extension and Research Administrative Officers Conference, May 19, 2010 in Madison, Wisconsin. The goal of this session was for participants to learn about competencies, competency modeling, OSU Extension's model, and competency-based human resource management. Part of the learning will be from group discussion on implications and applications for participant's work in human resources.

Application of Data Science in HR Function.pptxSrestha Das
Presentation showing application of data science in HR Function: Challenges, solutions and applications. By leveraging data science, HR professionals can make data-driven decisions that improve productivity, efficiency, and overall business performance.
When do you consider your employee survey to be complete?
Once all of your employees have taken the survey
Once your organization has received the data
After you’ve shared a couple of reports with senior management
Find out why employee surveys should be an ongoing process, where the actions taken post-survey are even more important than the survey itself. Ignoring post-survey steps can be more detrimental to Employee Engagement and Satisfaction than not conducting the survey in the first place. In this presentation, we discuss essential post-survey steps, the importance of creating an ongoing survey process, why Engagement matters, and how to create a culture of Engagement.

11. Emerging hiring tools used by
corporations could reduce costs
and increase the effectiveness of a
college’s hiring process
More than three-quarters of
colleges conduct their own
personnel searches for
leadership positions
Colleges rely almost
exclusively on reference
checks and interviews in
hiring
One-third of the colleges
offered no training to their
search committees on
interviewing

13. Bellwether Trends from Business
Business leaders employ a wider variety of assessment tools to
increase the probability of making a successful hire
40 percent of medium-sized companies report using work
styles questionnaires, and 32 percent use simulations in
addition to interviews in hiring processes.
The Landscape
20. » OPQ provides an objective assessment of an individual’s preferred
work styles in relationships with people, thinking styles, feelings and
emotions
» Report provides a candidate’s self-assessment of his or her preferred
team, leadership and reporting styles
» Management Competency Profile includes Managerial, Professional,
Entrepreneurial and Personal Qualities
» Current industry standard used by more than 1,000 companies
worldwide in employee selection and development

ROI
25. Avoid widely known assessment tools designed for team
building that do not have the reliability and validity to be
used in the hiring process
Adopting New Tools
Unbundle your bid process if using executive search firms,
requiring bidders to demonstrate the reliability and validity
of their instruments to hold up under legal challenge
Recommendations
Share how you are strengthening your college’s hiring
processes with your board of trustees
26. Strategic Imperatives for HR
Are you satisfied that your selection process will provide you the
highest return on investment and the best prediction of a
successful hire?
To what extent have the duties and responsibilities changed for
key leadership positions?
Is there an emerging leadership gap at your institution in key
leadership positions?
