In November, I spoke with master level human resources students at Cornell University about progressive employer strategies that support worker advancement, particularly for low skill workers. The students wanted to learn more about how their role as HR professionals can go beyond maximizing shareholder value and negotiating benefits and salaries to really allow them to support the development of people and thus the organization. I was invited to speak by Pam Tolbert, a Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations and the Social Sciences. Dr. Tolbert and I plan to explore this topic further and develop a paper over the next several months.
