Every week, I review blogs and other publications that cover talent development to find the very best talent development posts. This week, you’ll find pointers to pieces on the future of telework, how Google uses analytics to transform HR, unlocking big data for workforce analytics, the evolution of recruiting technology, and an ideal process for individual development plans.
From HRE Online: Telework’s Future (Non-Yahoo! Edition)
“While the response has been mixed, at least one expert says Mayer made the right call on ending telework at the Internet giant.”
From Dr. John Sullivan: How Google Is Using People Analytics to Completely Reinvent HR
“strategic focus on people management is necessary because innovations come from people, and you simply can’t maximize innovations unless you are capable of recruiting and retaining innovators. And even then, you must provide them with great managers and an environment that supports innovation.”
From the American Management Assoc: Unlocking Big Data: A Strategy for Workforce Analytics
“AMA sat down recently with Mercer’s Brian Kelly and Wendy Hirsch who work with clients around the world on workforce analytics and planning solutions.”
“The old vestiges of recruitment still exist – good recruiting tactics still rely upon human interaction and the ability to engage with a candidate/applicant or client/hiring manager. But today, even this, human interaction, cannot be done the way it was done just a mere ten years ago.”
From Dan McCarthy: 6 Important Elements of an Executive IDP Process

It’s one thing to write about how to create and implement the ideal executive IDP process – it’s another thing when you are dealing with real, live human beings, as well as organizational culture and politics. However, if I could wave my magic wand and design the perfect process, it would look something like this.”
