Human resource development is one of the essential elements of a company, and in today’s post, you will learn some useful insights from the best practitioners in the employment field: LinkedIn.

Last week, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and CEO Jeff Weiner were interviewed about human resources management. As part of the LinkedIn Speaker Series, Reid talked a lot about his new book The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age. During the interview, he explained various topics from how the employer-employee relationship is broken to how managers face a new kind of workplace challenge.

Reid went into thorough detail about many HR and Culture related topics such as how the company and employee should add value to each other, building trust, giving employees a ‘tour of duty’, leveraging knowledge, and building a ‘life’ around the company.

Here are some key points:

  • Both company and employee should add value to each other.
  • Build trust and loyalty with honest conversations.
  • Everyone should be on a tour of duty, and there are different kinds of tours.
  • Institutionalise network intelligence.
  • Lifetime employment may be over, but a lifetime relationship can endure.
