  I recently reported that The CMO Survey found companies expect to increase the marketing analytics portion of their marketing budgets by 60% from 5.7% to 9.1% in the next three years. This is a monumental increase especially given that marketing budgets overall have grown only 8.3% over the last two years. While impressive, the true mark of whether marketing analytics is going live up to its expected role as a critical strategic asset cannot be measured by spending. Instead, we have to consider how marketing analytics affects what managers do and think and how well they perform.

  Do Talkative Women Leaders Have Less Power Than Talkative Men?

   » ‎ Forbes.com: Leadership News
  Victoria Brescoll, a professor of organizational behavior at the Yale School of Management, probes the impact of stereotypes on people?s status inside organizations. She?s especially interested in the way women and men get treated at work, when they exhibit the same behavior. Back in 2007, Brescoll made headlines for her study, ?Can an Angry Woman Get Ahead? Gender, Status Conferral, and Workplace Emotion Expression,? published in the journal Psychological Science. She found that while men score points when they express anger in a professional context, angry women invite the opposite response. They?re seen as out of control and they lose stature. That was five years ago, but my guess would be that Brescoll would find the same result were she to run the study again today.

Steve Denning responded by assailing the company's excuses in "JPMorgan: 10 Defenses for the Indefensible" and then followed up by prescribing "Eight Things That Must Be Done About JPMorgan Chase" and finally excoriating "The Risky Risk Management Practices at JPMorgan Chase."

  4 Unintended Consequences of the JOBS Act for the Startup Community

   » ‎ Forbes.com: Leadership News
  Last month, President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act into law. Some view the bill as a panacea for the ills of the startup community, in part because one provision of the JOBS Act loosens federal securities laws in order to help small businesses raise capital by giving the public at large the opportunity to invest in early-stage companies through crowdfunding. While these goals are laudable, the possibility of some negative outcomes may actually cause startups harm.

  The Ministry of Sensible Tweets: Social media guidance for Civil Servants

   » ‎ XpertHR - Employment Intelligence
  In a sign of just how pervasive and increasingly central to everyday life social media are becoming, the Coalition Government has this week issued an extensive social media guidance document for Civil Servants.
  
  Francis Maude: Social media and the 'hierarchy of contribution'
  In his introduction, Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude has the following to say on social media, and what they offer to Civil Servants:
  

  What matters in the world of social media is not so much hierarchy - but hierarchy of contribution. When civil servants, policy makers and service delivery units alike, open themselves to dialogue with the public they can glean a much better understanding of the real needs and concerns of citizens.
  

  The social media guidance document has been put together for "Civil Servants who work in ICT" (information and communication technology). It presents guidance on social media use, and on "overcoming the technical barriers to accessing the internet and social media."
  
  The Government is keen to stress, however, that "this document provides guidance rather than formal policy."
  
  Maude offers the following pointer for when it is appropriate for Civil Servants to use social media:
  

  Social media must be used responsibly and only when it enhances the core work of Civil Servants.
  

  10 top tips for Civil Servants using social media
  The guidance document presents an interesting selection of 'top tips' for Civil Servants using social media. These are worth quoting in full:
  

  10 tips for using social media
  1) Have a clear idea of your objectives in using social media (behaviour change/service delivery/consultation/communication)
  2) Learn the rules of each social media space before engaging
  3) Abide by the Civil Service Code and ask for advice if you are not sure
  4) Remember an official account belongs to the Department not the individual
  5) Communicate where your citizens are
  6) Build relationships with your stakeholders on and offline - social media is just one of many communication channels
  7) Try not to channel shift citizens backwards (move from email to telephone for example)
  8) Do not open a channel of communication you cannot maintain
  9) Understand when a conversation should be taken offline
  10) Do not engage with users who are aggressive/abusive
  

  Social media for Civil Servants: Where does HR come in?
  The guidance document also includes a role for HR when it comes to social media for Civil Servants.
  
  This primarily involves "updat[ing] HR policies and educate staff about how they should and should not use the internet and social media."
  
  Head to pp. 13 and 14 of the PDF version of the guidance document for more on this topic.
  
  Dealing with Twitter 'buzz': Government still sees 'traditional' media as key
  It is interesting to note that for all its emphasis on the "hierarchy of contribution" offered by social media, the guidance document suggests that the Government continues to place traditional outlets at the very top of its hierarchy of media.
  
  This can be seen in its observations on dealing with Twitter "buzz."
  

  Buzz generated around communications on Twitter can very quickly escalate. Stories and discussions start on Twitter but are quickly picked up, firstly by amateur bloggers, then by professional bloggers, then via news websites and often make it onto the front pages of newspapers 12-24 hours later. You have a real chance to either reinforce or prevent those front-page headlines with the effective use of social media.
  

  What do you make of the social media guidance for Civil Servants?
  So what do you make of the social media guidance document for Civil Servants?
  
  Does it hit the nail on the head? Are there additional areas that you would like to have seen covered? Or do you feel that there is no place for social media guidance (or even social media!) in the modern workplace?
  
  Please get in touch! Feel free to leave a comment via the box below or get in touch via Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+. I'd love to hear from you.

  Social media and its implications for HR is a widely and keenly debated topic. Check out the following posts to learn more about the key themes emerging in this ongoing debate:
  

  • Socialising HR: Ellison Bloomfield's manifesto for HR & social media Australian HR blogger Ellison Bloomfield has written a post which cuts through much of the 'noise' around the topic of HR and social media and - I think - it could almost consitute a manifesto for why HR needs to take social media seriously, and the steps HR should take.
    
  • Doug Shaw: Encouraging HR to participate in social media HR professionals have much to gain from engaging with social media. But what's the best way to encourage the 'social media-curious' in HR to take part in social media? This is the subject of a brilliant mini report from leading UK HR blogger, consultant and social media advocate Doug Shaw.
    
  • Tools, Trust and Toilets, Social media policies are not "stupid". Here's why, and It's All About Trust A wide-ranging and very lively debate about the need (or otherwise) for social media policies, taking in posts from Doug Shaw's blog, XpertHR's Tribunal Watch blog and Neil Morrison's Change-Effect blog.
  • Yes, social media are a real threat to employers An extremely interesting post by XpertHR's David Shepherd, which gave rise to a fascinating discussion in the comments field.
  • Grant Mason on 'Social HR': Three reasons why HR should be crazy about social media Grant Mason explains why he believes social media can make all the difference to HR.
  • How social media can 'humanise' HR Social media have the potential to play a key role in 'humanising' HR departments. This is according to leading Australian HR blogger Ellison Bloomfield.
  • Alison Chisnell: What social media can offer HR A video on what social media can offer HR, from UK HR Director Alison Chisnell.

  The 10 Most Important Things I've Learned About Working In My 20s

   » ‎ Forbes.com: Leadership News
  As part of an ongoing series about youth in the office, I’ve written and published several pieces about how the Millennial generation is experiencing the workplace. Recently, in response, one young woman emailed me about my own experience, writing:

  I read your articles on Forbes and am very intrigued by your work. I am a 21-year-old, freshly graduated (December 2011) professional that was lucky enough to get a job straight out of college. Since you do your work on women professionals, I was wondering if maybe you could give me a few tips/comments on what you would advise people my age to do to get to where you are. I am a go-getter, which it seems you are, too. I work in the Human Resources department at Cooper Tire and Rubber Company in Findlay, Ohio. Being in a male-dominated manufacturing environment is tough sometimes, but I aspire to be extremely successful and have no doubt I will get there. I am still really young, but I just read your article on why 20-something's need to be taken seriously and just was looking for a few pointers on how you did things to get to be where you are today.

  Here’s my best advice, sourced directly from my life.

  Guru undertakes laughter implementation initiative

   » ‎ Guru

  Guru is always looking for ways to lift his staff. He watches them mooch around the office with their sunken eyes and curved backs and wishes there was something he could do to help himself not have to bear such a miserable sight. His efforts to perk them up have previously been limited to sending them emails telling them to perk up and an innovative “worst employee of the month” award, in which some of the fun of public hangings is recaptured.

  Guru has to be honest and say that these haven’t proved to be hugely effective motivational tools, so he was delighted to stumble across an email detailing an exciting new approach to motivation being trumpeted by Ian Brownhill of BergHind Joseph, entitled “The importance of not being ernest [sic]”.

  The email suggests that laughter can “transform workplace culture and increase employee engagement”. Apparently, laughter is gaining momentum and overcoming the conventional mentality that work should be a toil. The email promises that there are “Examples of where laughter has been effectively implemented within organisations”.

  Well, Guru finds this all very exciting and has set about implementing laughter in his workplace by replacing “worst employee of the month” with “laughing employee of the month”. Each month Guru selects an employee who gets to spend the entire month laughing. There aren’t really any rules - it’s all very laid back and good natured. The only rules are that the laughing employee of the month must laugh for at least six hours of every day in the month and that the laughter must be judged to be infectious.

  The implementation programme has not been without its difficulties. The current incumbent is going through a difficult divorce and has consistently been judged to be laughing in a way that is not infectious, and, on one occasion, was quite obviously trying to pass off crying as laughter. She was severely reprimanded and has been laughing relatively infectiously since then.

  Guru’s feedback on his laughter implementation programme is, thus, that it can be an effective tool, but only if it is effectively enforced by a ruthless leader relying on a rigorous system of discipline.

  How has responsibility for HR activities changed over the past decade?

   » ‎ XpertHR - Employment Intelligence
  How has the allocation of responsibility for key HR activities changed over the past decade?
  
  A new XpertHR benchmarking report focusing on long-term trends in HR roles and responsibilities (Complete the form to download the report) reveals the following:
  

  • The past decade has seen HR increasingly share the responsibility for some key activities (such as learning and development) with line managers.
  • But the opposite trend has been seen in other key areas. For example, HR is significantly more likely to take sole responsibility for equal opportunities than it was a decade ago (when the majority of HR functions surveyed by XpertHR shared their equal opportunities responsibilities with line managers.
    

  HR takes the lead on employee relations...
  
  
  Employee relations is the activity that has shown greatest increase in HR taking sole responsibility over past 10 years.
  
  The proportion of HR departments taking sole responsibility for employee relations has more than doubled from 27% a decade ago to 55% in 2012 (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required).
  
  
  Pay-setting has seen the greatest fall in HR taking the lead. Just under two-fifths of HR departments take sole responsibility for pay-setting in 2012. This is down from two-thirds 10 years back. In 2012, three-fifths of HR departments share responsibility for pay-setting with line managers (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required), while a further quarter have devolved responsibility for pay-setting entirely to line managers.
  
  The activities most likely to be devolved to line managers are performance appraisal and employee administration (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required).
  
  Outsourcing HR activities is a minority practice
  Interestingly, the XpertHR Benchmarking survey of HR roles and responsibilities also reveals that HR activities are only very rarely outsourced - a situation that has hardly changed over the past decade.
  
  Looking back on 10 years of HR roles and responsibilities
  XpertHR's special 10 years of HR roles and responsibilities report (Complete the form to download the report) has been produced to coincide with XpertHR's 10th anniversary.
  
  The report looks at how the work and composition of UK HR departments have changed over the past decade.
  
  The 10 years of HR roles and responsibilities report draws on data from all 10 editions of XpertHR's annual benchmarking survey of HR roles and responsibilities, which provides an invaluable treasure trove of benchmarking data on HR functions, what they do, and how they do it.
