HR NEWS FLASH – THE CAHRS TOP 10, IWS NEWS SERVICE
In collaboration with Cornell University’s Institute for
Workplace Studies (IWS), CAHRS will now provide a
customized information service covering key workplace
issues exclusively for CAHRS sponsors.
Currently the IWS provides a comprehensive service to
an audience consisting of academicians, researchers,
journalists, executives and others involved with workplace
issues. The IWS sends out daily email updates and a
weekly summary on a range of issues covering key
economic indicators, workforce trends especially in the
area of productivity, compensation, employment law,
change management and human resource management
practices, critical policy announcements, trade and
investment information and technology related news. The
email service is intended to keep researchers, companies,
workers, and governments aware of the latest information
pertaining to workplace related issues as it becomes
available for the purposes of research, understanding and
debate. Stuart Basefsky, an information specialist and
Director of the IWS News Service, operates this service
and sources the content from the U.S. Government and
international agencies, public and private bodies,
consultancies and knowledge services firms, industry
associations, unions and select academic institutions.
Stuart assisted CAHRS earlier in creating the award
winning course ‘HR Online Research and Reporting Methods
for Executive Decision-Making’ and presently teaches the
course. As an operating principle, the IWS focuses
primarily on disseminating intellectual content already
available in the public domain.
Since the current IWS service has a diverse audience
and addresses a broad range of issues, the email service for
CAHRS sponsors will be adapted and customized to focus
on content relevant to practicing HR executives and will
be available at a monthly frequency. Every month the
‘ Top 10’ news items will be carefully selected, covering
areas such as emerging workplace trends, compensation,
executive training and development, technology enabled
HR services, important policy announcements impacting
people practices, employment related macro economic
data and top line general economic data, significant court
decisions relating to employment law and any other issue
of potential significance to human resource managers.
The monthly email update will provide a summary of the
topic with a link to the original source. Based on feedback
from the CAHRS sponsors, the content will be
continually improved in terms of quality, range of issues
and frequency.
