The Cynical Girl: Strategic HR Discussions: Who Gets the Dog Out?

Strategic HR Discussions: Who Gets the Dog Out? Posted: 22 Jan 2013 03:45 AM PST I spent 4Q12 and the past few weeks of 1Q13 doing something sorta fun: getting out to see HR executives for no other reason that to establish relationships or hear briefings. I have so much to learn. I heard that the Ulrich model is alive. Shockingly, I heard that it’s also dead. I learned that HR is really only an outcome. Human Capital Management is the true science and art of managing people. Jesus. Okay, I lied. It is not fun. It’s so boring. Thank god I can see friends while I travel. To spice things up, I have a new question that I just started asking HR leaders. “When a stray dog enters the office building, who gets it out?” [I won't identify the actual HR leader who wrote this, but he can identify himself if he wants credit for this gem.]   If a dog walks into your building, what happens? Who takes responsibility for the dog? Who gets the dog out? I’ll tell you something: The answers from the CHROs have been very enlightening. More on THAT in the comments section. I want to know what you think.
