The HR Metrics Center just launched a new on-line business service for human resource professionals. The web site provides an on-line capability for human resource professionals to build HR or human capital metrics for their organizations. The HR Metrics Center includes a dynamic on-line survey providing the ability for member organizations to benchmark their HR metrics against industry averages. I attempted to register and try out the free service, and haven’t been able to log on, and never received the confirmation e-mail. I hope their service is better than the stock photo’s on the site.

Groundbreaking CEOs were honored this week for for Excellence in Diversity Leadership.

Corporate category winners included:

• AAA Northern California, Nevada & Utah: Paula F. Downey, President
• Campbell Soup Company: Douglas R. Conant, President & CEO
• Deere & Company: Robert W. Lane, Chairman & CEO
• The Procter & Gamble Company: A.G. Lafley, Chairman & CEO
• Prudential Financial: John R. Strangfeld, Chairman & CEO
• Siemens PLM Software: Tony Affuso, Chairman & CEO
• Siemens Energy and Automation: Dennis Sadlowski, President & CEO
• Siemens Power Generation, Inc.: Randy Zwirn, President & CEO

HR responsibly. That’s the tagline for HR Bartender, the recently launched weblog from human resources consulting firm Internal Talent Management (ITM) Group. HR Bartender is a strong mix of human resources musings, tips, and useful information peppered with fun facts and recommendations about food and drink from ITM Group president and blogger Sharlyn Lauby.

   Dear Jason,

   This was a really useful piece and I’ve linked to it in a follow up I wrote called “Dismal, Disastrous, Ouch!” I tried to do a pingback, but I’m not sure if it worked, so I thought I’d say hello the old fashioned way!

   btw, the piece I wrote is at http://www.fourgroups.com/blog/archives/01/dismal-disastrous-ouch/

   Best wishes…
