As healthcare providers, ranging from world-renowned hospital systems to small town outpatient clinics, scramble to implement electronic health records (EHRs), they face a difficult question: What kind of talent do we need to manage this wealth of new information, and where will the talent come from?

A recent Wall Street Journal article, “Performance Reviews Lose Steam,” reports that some companies are abandoning traditional performance review processes. Here’s the comment I shared on the Journal’s website:
December 17, 2011
"What's your perspective?"
It’s the question every HR executive wants to hear from the CEO. Every HR leader wants to share their opinion on important matters. It’s affirmation that HR’s perspective is valued. Maybe the issue relates to the relevance of the company’s strategy, changes in organizational structure or ideas for retaining top talent. In any event, the question presents an important opportunity to demonstrate your value.
What can companies do to keep the employees that they can least afford to lose? A Dec. 5, 2011 Wall Street Journal article reporting that Yahoo is bracing for a wave of employee exits after the first of the new year highlights the issue of unforced attrition. Senior leaders have to think strategically and creatively to ensure that the "value creators" in a company are in it for the long haul.
When it comes to the employee/employer relationship, the long-term marriage has given way to sequential dating. My Axiom colleagues, Paul Dinan and Marc Timmerman, write about this business challenge – what they call “the paradox of temporary loyalty” – in the November 2011 issue of World at Work’s Workspan magazine.
