| Abstract: Evaluation plays a critical role in assuring HR systems are aligned to achieve the maximum benefits for organizations. Too frequently organizations have mismatched practices regarding talent management, employee development, performance management, and rewards and recognition. In many cases for-profit organizations are unfamiliar with the breadth and depth of evaluative capabilities they could use because the only experience they have involves evaluating training courses. By using evaluative inquiry throughout the system, alignment among the four areas can be managed over time to help the organization reach strategic goals. This session presents a model and complementary questions for aligning HR systems using an evaluative inquiry approach. Participants will be introduced step-by-step to each of the four areas and how to ask questions and present evaluation information to decision-makers, what challenges to expect in the process and when they are likely to occur, and what conditions influence successful use of the tool. |
