Managers need more than an HRIS

For me, the HR information system is one of the two pillars of a business's information system, along with the finance information system. I put them ahead of the other business tools. Why do I do this? Because if you don't manage human capital and money well , even with the best processes...

Socialization at Work: Towards a New Model?

Today I've decided to tackle a subject that's obviously proving divisive, given the discussions I've had recently on the subject: that of socialization at work. Sociability: proof of engagement, a prerequisite for collaboration and a remedy for loneliness It's often said that the workplace is a place for socializing, or at least it...

Employee Engagement: Illusion of Performance or Real Impact?

For years, we've been relying on the equation that an engaged employee is a more productive employee who creates more value. To tell the truth, I've never been convinced by the notion of engagement, which in my opinion is taken the wrong way by businesses who think that it's up to the employee to...

More often than not, your employees don’t quit: they just don’t stay.

Even if the great resignation is now history, talent retention remains a real problem for businesses, if only because the talent shortage continues to affect many sectors, and a talent that leaves is always a recruitment problem to come. For a long time, it was often considered that those who resigned...

People are back in the office? So what?

Many companies imagine that forcing people to return to the office will encourage connections between colleaguesand, as a result, strengthen the sense of belonging, collaboration, innovation, productivity and engagement. On paper, this is understandable and debatable, but in practice, just as I recently said that telecommuting is not the cause of loneliness...

What the loneliness of some remote workers really tells us

I was reading a very interesting article the other day on the negative impacts of telecommuting (Will remote work kill innovation and create an epidemic of loneliness?). I think everyone is now familiar with my opinion on the practice of telecommuting: it's not inherently good or bad, and setting an...

Is pursuing a career still desirable?

Is the relentless careerism of the 80s a thing of the past now that employees have new aspirations, or do some people still value their careers more than others? Some time ago, I was invited by Lucca for the prevention of a study on the aspirations of French people in relation to work (The...

Do companies make people incompetent?

Companies are constantly on the lookout for new skills, and the development of their employees is at the heart of their HR mission. But does it succeed in doing so, and is it not a machine for wasting talent and manufacturing incompetence? I was telling you the other day about a...

The French and work: changing aspirations and worsening conditions

According to a study just published by Lucca, a French HRIS software vendor, on the subject of the career aspirations of the French, these aspirations are clearly evolving, to such an extent that many want to change jobs. It also shows that working conditions are steadily deteriorating. You can download the study here. The...

What does Netflix’s culture and management tell us about today’s world?

In 2009 , Netflix published a 125-page document summarizing its culture and vision of work, which at the time caused quite a stir. At the beginning of the summer, an updated version was put online, and this is an opportunity to look back at this rather disruptive document and see...
