Thank you to those of you who participated in the poll on pay for performance.  If you haven´t yet, please take a moment to record your response.  In the past, I have drawn attention to questions submitted to me by members to allow other HR professionals to give advice on the subject.  I again have a few questions I would like to pass on. 

In the discussion forum on the performance management page, an individual is looking for a good translation website to translate words, phrases or even complete text.  Also, we have received a few requests this week for advice related to how to set up a strategic HR department where none previously existed.  This has been turned into a main topic for discussion on our homepage - please take a moment to visit or contribute to the discussion if you can.

In the spirit of sharing information - also, Pilat North America is offering free performance management educational sessions - four in total addressing the following:  Setting Direction & Clarifying Roles; Planning & Aligning Performance; Monitoring & Measuring and Enabling & Enhancing; Assigning & Evaluating and Recognizing & Rewarding.  These sessions are available at different dates throughout the summer and will take the form of 45 minute webcasts.  Please contact Grace Petchonka for details  gpetchonka@pilat.com
