Gen Y and the Work/Life Blur

Posted by Daniel Rose - July 6, 2011 - Blog

Gen­er­a­tion Y are often labelled as lazy and self­ish, but is that always the way? Maybe it’s about time you con­sid­ered an aspect of Gen Y which peo­ple often don’t con­sider – the work/life blur. Everybody’s heard about work/life bal­ance. It’s that old con­cept of find­ing the right “bal­ance” of your work and pri­vate life, […]

Bureaucracy is Overrated

Posted by Daniel Rose - April 19, 2011 - Blog

If Karl Marx, who coined the above quote, died in 1883, why are we still push­ing bureau­cratic organ­i­sa­tions? Inter­est­ing thought. I was recently read­ing a Q&A type post by Tom Fos­ter over at Man­age­ment Skills Blog. It was an inter­est­ing post on the chain of com­mand in tra­di­tional hier­ar­chi­cal struc­tures. It got me think­ing about […]

III: Knowledge, Experience and Qualifications">Job Analysis, Part III: Knowledge, Experience and Qualifications

Posted by Daniel Rose - April 16, 2011 - Blog

This is the third and final part in a series of arti­cles about job analy­sis. You can view the first arti­cle, about job out­comes, and the sec­ond arti­cle, about bound­aries, tasks and com­mu­ni­ca­tion. The third part of job analy­sis, using my method­ol­ogy, is to deter­mine what knowl­edge, qual­i­fi­ca­tions and expe­ri­ence an employee would need to […]

This is part two of a series explain­ing a sim­ple method of job analy­sis, suit­able for use in most organ­i­sa­tions. If you haven’t yet read it, you might like to visit Job Analy­sis, Part I: Out­comes. This is where we uncover the real “size” of the role. A key thing to under­stand is that we […]

Job Analysis, Part I: Outcomes

Posted by Daniel Rose - April 10, 2011 - Blog

When peo­ple rede­fine organ­i­sa­tional struc­tures, defin­ing par­tic­u­lar roles is often an area where peo­ple strug­gle. For those who don’t know, this is called “Job Analy­sis”, and there are a great num­ber of sys­tems avail­able today. that help you per­form this task. Whether they are of any use is a dif­fer­ent ques­tion, though. This post is […]

Prepare for Performance, not the Appraisal

Posted by Daniel Rose - January 15, 2011 - Blog

Some­body men­tioned to me the other day that it was per­for­mance appraisal time again, and they had to pre­pare. It’s an excep­tion­ally good idea to pre­pare for per­for­mance appraisals, but it’s bet­ter to pre­pare for per­for­mance. What does that mean? Well, con­sider that there are many great guides to effec­tive per­for­mance appraisals, but they all […]

When the person is greater than the position

Posted by Daniel Rose - December 5, 2010 - Blog

If you’re a fre­quent reader, you’ll know I’m often espous­ing the wis­dom of for­mu­lat­ing posi­tion descrip­tions based on the role, and not the incum­bent. Today I’m going to ignore my own advice and tell you why that’s a bad idea. There is often a need to adjust the respon­si­bil­i­ties, duties and author­ity of posi­tions within any […]

Paying a premium for staff attendance

Posted by Daniel Rose - December 4, 2010 - Blog

I learnt some­thing new today, a tech­nique that I’d not pre­vi­ously known about. It’s the prac­tice of pay­ing employ­ees a pre­mium for their atten­dance. When I first heard about this con­cept, my first reac­tion was one of con­fu­sion. Why would some­body pay their staff in excess of their nor­mal wage, just for show­ing up? Surely […]

What can North Korea teach us about the workplace?

Posted by Daniel Rose - November 28, 2010 - Blog

There’s a lot of buzz today about the ten­sion between North & South Korea, and the poten­tial for deeper con­flict. In such inter­est­ing times, I think it’s pos­si­ble that we can learn from this. From my per­spec­tive, it looks as though North Korea are col­lec­tively behav­ing like a work­place bully. They don’t want to share resources, […]

Why “Employee of the month” programs don’t work

Posted by Daniel Rose - November 19, 2010 - Blog

Ear­lier I was watch­ing Fox’s “Fam­ily Guy”, which is per­haps the most ran­dom tele­vi­sion show I’ve seen. That’s another story, though. In one scene, the cen­tral char­ac­ter “Peter”, misses out on the employee of the month award. Instead it goes to a dis­abled ward of the state who, it seems, has won it many many […]

Client results

Daniel Rose was simply excellent in all regards. I would heartily recommend him to anyone.— Paul Marriott, Marriott Organization, Inc.

The service and personal attention we received from Mr. Rose was exceptional and he has a good depth of knowledge in his field.— Name withheld, 150 room hotel based in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.

I had a very good experience working with Daniel Rose as he put together a profit sharing structure for our company. He quoted a fair price and the work that he did far exceeded my expectations. He also was great in following up and spending time to make sure I understood what he had put together. I definitely recommend him to others!— Marc Cabianca, Bridge Learning
