Podcast #15 by Naomi Lee Bloom...

A very interesting interview with one of the renowned consultants and leaders of the HRM field. A couple of highlights --

1. Customized technology software for each company: It is important for each organization to realise what it needs from the specific technology, and how it can embrace it to improve its functioning. Although the vendors are more than happy to impose their generic solutions, the organizations should be more methodical and logical in tuning these softwares totheir own needs -- "demo against real scenarios"...

2. The importance of depth and breadth in HR and related technology. This hits the nail on the head as far as teaching and grooming people for HR of today and the future is concerned.

3. Importance of gathering and conferences -- I hope organizations view HR as a constantly evolving field, and set aside budget for such travels and meetings. No one wants a stagnant HR department at the cost of a few saved dollars.

I really find these podcasts very informative, and have added them to my weekly schedule to listen to them...
