Daniel explains in this episode a very interesting study that he did with top HR management across many large companies in the last couple of months. Daniel goes on to explain, as many people would expect, that in our current economic situation, many companies are trying to downsize the number employees while expand the production of each employee that they keep on. Many companies realize that in order to survive, they have to be able to get a greater amount of work from the same amount of people, while at the same time trying to expand their reach as a company.
Daniel also goes on to explain that he found that most top-level HR managers think that investing and training their employees is one of the most important things that they could do. However, they also think that it is not what they are best at doing. Daniel and the host explored this idea in detail and the reasons why this would be.
Daniel explained a few smaller points that he found in his study, and also gave a small glimpse of what addition information will be coming from his study in the future.
While listening to this podcast, I was continually reminding myself the need to not necessarily work harder than everyone around me, but to be able to work smarter than everyone around me, in order to be ahead of everyone in the industry. As I do my homework these last couple weeks at BYU-I, I have made it a goal to work smarter, in order to accomplish a great deal so that I can graduate. I think this is exactly what Daniel found that the executives of these large companies are looking for in employees.
