A short daily-video monologue (Jan 23, 2017) by Anthony Onesto encouraging innovation in human resources. He urges questioning long-standing HR practices—especially performance management and employee benefits—advocating a design-thinking, employee-centered, customized approach rather than one-size-fits-all or annual reviews.

Everyone, it's Anthony Honesto. And this is my daily burst of knowledge for today. Monday, January 23rd, Super bowl is almost here. Excited to see the Atlanta Falcons get in there. But anyway, today I'm talking about innovation in human resources and what I that's a broad topic, but thinking about how to really change things in human resources in an interesting way. So really, you know, it starts from questioning things, right? So there are there things that we've been doing in human resources for decades, you know, performance management, benefits. These are things that really need to be looked at from, you know, when you think of it from a design thinking perspective, from the employee's perspective. And when I think about health benefits, of course, Obamacare and the discussion that's happened in Washington, very relevant. But can we think about, you know, what is it? You know, different benefits have different levels of importance for employees at different stages of their careers. And so how do we really manage that in a very effective or customized way as opposed to sort of broad paint strokes on these type of things? Performance management, another thing, you know, where we've been doing these yearly performance reviews for years and we need to stop that. But really think about innovative programs. Like, think turn things on their head a little bit. And I know it's cliche to say to a certain degree, but, you know, think differently about human resources and try to try to look at it from a different angle, even from an employee perspective, but even throw away all your assumptions and what they call sacred cows. So that's my burst of knowledge for today. Think a little bit differently around hr and we'll see you tomorrow. Thanks.
