Many of the systems that are now out have automated virtually every part to this process and allow managers and employees to complete appraisals in a very short amount of time.ReviewSNAPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09159358692075092482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558812259213723257.post-33199799767825166612009-07-02T00:35:40.308+05:302009-07-02T00:35:40.308+05:30Congrats on your new change. I just wrapped up a similar change with my own blog. Unfortunately, my previous employer owns the blog I was authoring, so i now have to rebuild my own blog from scratch.

I happened to browse your site by chance and belonging to a company which has been developing competency models for various industries, I would also recommend that you have the end goal in mind. why do you want a competency based approach ? is that for ensuring best in class hiring and retention practice, best in class talent management across the spectrum of the career of the individual/s or building a best in class organization, each is interspersed but also requires different levels of effort and a phased approach works best. <BR/><BR/>Anand Kumar<BR/>SurgeForth Technologies<BR/>www.surgeforth.comanand kumarhttp://www.surgeforth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558812259213723257.post-89158119198782744382009-02-04T19:42:00.000+05:302009-02-04T19:42:00.000+05:30Amit<BR/><BR/>Very sorry to hear the news.<BR/>My prayers are with you and family.<BR/><BR/>ShivaShivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12079205176890531056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558812259213723257.post-62083828100259154242009-01-29T18:01:00.000+05:302009-01-29T18:01:00.000+05:30Amit Sorry for the loss.<BR/>We pray for youMarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558812259213723257.post-40880951153323289092009-01-19T07:49:00.000+05:302009-01-19T07:49:00.000+05:30Sorry to hear of your loss.

While the specifics of social networking are not talked about in that study, it's easy to see how both of these concepts fit in with creating a positive Employee Value Proposition that translates to higher employee loyalty, engagement and ultimately productivity.ckell23http://ckell23.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558812259213723257.post-8412153871176942262008-12-05T11:54:00.000+05:302008-12-05T11:54:00.000+05:30Thanks Nagamohan for pointing that out.

Unfortunately what most companies have today re: people is data, not information. But tools do exist that can transform data to information; and companies can use that information to support decisions about human capital investments, and talent management practices and plans. HR's role is in facilitating the acquisition and deployment of this technology, and leading the change managment necessary to insure that human capital related decision making actually changes.Joanne Bintliff-Ritchiewww.doublestarinc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558812259213723257.post-47118718994194474182008-08-04T13:36:00.000+05:302008-08-04T13:36:00.000+05:30hi,<BR/>nice post .
