Employees on its Employee Experience
Big Blue is actively involving its employees in retooling its processes.
By: Andrew R. McIlvaine | March 1, 2018 • 4 min read
Topics: Uncategorized
Earlier this year I posted about how more employers are planning to use HR tech tools to boost their
employee experience. Now, in the March/April issue of Harvard Business Review, IBM CHRO
Diane Gherson explains in a Q&A how Big Blue is “co-creating the employee experience” with its
employees, with the understanding that positive rates of employee engagement translate directly to
the company’s bottom line.
“We’ve found that employee engagement explains two-thirds of our client experience scores,” she
said. “And if we’re able to increase client satisfaction by five points on an account, we see an extra
20 percent in revenue, on average.”
Gherson and her team have done a lot of work in collaborating with employees to redesign and
enhance HR processes, particularly learning and development and performance management. With
the former, Gherson said IBM has taken a “Netflix” approach to learning and development, bringing
in employees to help create an individually personalized learning platform with different channels,
tailored by role, with “intelligent recommendations that are continually updated.”
Employees are guided in their course selections by a live-chat advisor as well as ratings by coworkers
who’ve taken the courses, said Gherson. HR also measures the offerings’ effectiveness via Net
Promoter Scores, which she said are more accurate than a previously used five-point satisfaction
scale.
As for improving the performance management process, Gherson said IBM disregarded what she
said would be a typical approach – conduct some benchmarking, convene a group of experts, come
up with a design and pilot it – in favor of working with employees “in a sort of extended hackathon.”
“We used design thinking and came up with something you might describe as a ‘concept car’—
something for people to test drive and kick the tires on, instead of just dealing with concepts,” she
said.
Gherson said she initially encountered some skepticism from employees after inviting them to
participate in the process.
“Some people said ‘This is such a sham—you already know what you want to do,'” she said. “But
then we explained that we really wanted to hear from them, and we got them into various discussion
forums.”
Ultimately, about 100,000 IBMers participated in the redesign process, Gherson said. Employees
even selected a name for the redesigned PM process: Checkpoint. Even now, the company continues
to solicit input from employees on how the process can be improved, she said.
The employee response has been overwhelmingly positive, said Gherson. “Their overall message has
been ‘This is what we wanted.’ It was cited as the top reason engagement improved.”
“People are getting much more feedback out of this system, in much richer ways,” she said. “And
more important, they are not feeling like spectators in our transformation; they are active
participants.”

Water on the Moon could sustain a lunar base
Having dropped tantalizing hints days ago about an "exciting new discovery about the Moon", the US space
agency has revealed conclusive evidence of water on our only natural satellite. And this "unambiguous detection
of molecular water" will boost Nasa's hopes of establishing a lunar base.
The aim is to sustain that base by tapping into the Moon's natural resources. The findings have been
published as two papers in the journal Nature Astronomy. Unlike previous detections of water in permanently
shadowed parts of lunar craters, scientists have now detected the molecule in sunlit regions of the Moon's
surface.
Speaking during a virtual teleconference, co-author Casey Honniball, postdoctoral fellow at Nasa's Goddard
Space Flight Center in Maryland, said: "The amount of water is roughly equivalent to a 12-ounce bottle of water in
a cubic metre of lunar soil." Her Nasa colleague Jacob Bleacher, from the agency's human exploration directorate,
said researchers still needed to understand the nature of the watery deposits. This would help them determine
how accessible they would be for future lunar explorers to use.
And while there have previously been signs of water on the lunar surface, these new discoveries suggest it
is more abundant than previously thought. "It gives us more options for potential water sources on the Moon," said
Hannah Sargeant, a planetary scientist from the Open University in Milton Keynes, on BBC News.
The first of these new discoveries was made from an airborne infrared telescope known as Sofia. This
observatory, on board a modified Boeing 747, flies above much of Earth's atmosphere, giving a largely
unobstructed view of the Solar System.
Using this infrared telescope, researchers picked up the "signature" colour of water molecules. The
researchers think it is stored in bubbles of lunar glass or between grains on the surface that protect it from the
harsh environment. In the other study, scientists looked for permanently shadowed areas - known as cold traps -
where water could be captured and remain permanently. They found these cold traps at both poles and concluded
that approximately 40,000 kilometres squared of the lunar surface has the capacity to trap water.
What does this discovery mean? According to Dr Sargeant this discovery mean that this could broaden the
list of places where we might want to build a lunar base. There are quite a few one-off missions to the Moon's
polar regions coming up in the next few years. In the longer term, there are plans to build a permanent habitation
on the lunar surface.
“We were going to go to the Moon anyway”, said the Open University researcher. This study gives Nasa
some time to do some investigation, but it doesn't give it much time because and the US space agency is already
working on Moon base ideas and where they are going to go and it is promising.
Experts say that water-ice could form the basis of a future lunar economy, once we've figured out how to
extract it. Definitely, it would be much cheaper to make rocket fuel on the Moon than send it from Earth. So when
future lunar explorers want to return to Earth, or travel on to other destinations, they could turn the water into the
hydrogen and oxygen commonly used to power space vehicles.
Re-fuelling at the Moon could therefore bring down the cost of space travel and make a lunar base more
affordable and a potential lunar settlement is on the way to become into a reality.

Daniel Ferreira, 24, is a guy who had to learn to overcome expectations from the day hewas born, without his arms, due to a treatment with thalidomy that his mother had to do during pregnancy. “Some relatives did not bet a chip on me; they saw me as a poor thing,” he says. It turns out that he did not put any brakes on any ambition, he did very well in life and,painting with his feet and mouth, he became a fine artist.
About the International Day of People with Disabilities, celebrated last Wednesday (3), he says: “Unfortunately, we still need special days toremember minorities, such as blacks,homosexuals and the disabled. Brazil is not prepared in any way to meet the needs of people with disabilities. There is no accessibility. Neither public nor private schools have a structure. We still have a lot to fight for ”.
The boy speaks properly on the subject,
since he had to fight hard to be able to study in a
regular public school, from the age of seven. The
principal argued that the state institution was not
supported to receive a student with a disability.
His father, Francisco, was the one who had to
build a special desk, without State aid, so that
Daniel could write with his feet.

Pollution
Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into
the environment. These harmful materials are called
pollutants. Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic
ash. They can also be created by human activity, such
as trash or runoff produced by factories. Pollutants
damage the quality of air, water, and land.
Many things that are useful to people produce
pollution. Cars spew pollutants from their exhaust
pipes. Burning coal to create electricity pollutes the
air. Industries and homes generate garbage and
sewage that can pollute the land and water. Pesticides
– chemical poisons used to kill weeds and insects –
seep into waterways and harm wildlife.
All living things – from one-celled microbes to blue
whales – depend on Earth's supply of air and water.
When these resources are polluted, all forms of life
are threatened.
Pollution is a global problem. Although urban areas
are usually more polluted than the countryside,
pollution can spread to remote places where no
people live. For example, pesticides and other
chemicals have been found in the Antarctic ice sheet.
In the middle of the northern Pacific Ocean, a huge
collection of microscopic plastic particles forms what
is known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Air and water currents carry pollution. Ocean currents
and migrating fish carry marine pollutants far and
wide. Winds can pick up radioactive material
accidentally released from a nuclear reactor and
scatter it around the world. Smoke from a factory in
one country drifts into another country.

chemicals have been found in the Antarctic ice sheet.”

The pandemic has exposed a contradiction in modern
society. We are more connected than ever – proven by the speed
and truly global spread of the virus; nevertheless, we are also
deeply divided.
Today’s connectedness, enforced by social distancing, has
pushed the role of technology in every aspect of our lives to a
new level. The tech industry is now in a challenging space:
trapped between the increasing politicization of technology, the
still superficial social debate around its impact and the slow
adaptation of appropriate legislation. Right now, the industry
needs to enable and push forward this ethical debate, recognizing
its responsibility in this historic moment.
The first step is to end the myth of tech neutrality. We
need to acknowledge that technology is caught between private
economic interests and its social value. Some tech business
models, for example, prioritize commodification of data or
advertising revenue over the social value of their services — the
sharing of knowledge, connecting people, etc.
The social impact of tech is deeper than we usually
perceive and most of the time invisible to us. Digital architecture
determines, increasingly, social interactions in our digital society.
An example of this is the invisible influence of search engine and
social media algorithms, the results of which shape our
understanding of the world.
In this moment of crisis, technology can play a
fundamental role in overcoming the economic recession and
reducing the systemic injustices that have been exposed.
Social exclusion - the next pandemic.

Concerning the ideas stated in the text and the words used in it,
judge the following items.
The sentence “the industry needs to enable and push forward
this ethical debate” (in the last sentence of the second
paragraph) can be correctly rephrased as the industry ought

How do I pick the perfect pillow?
At the end of the day, your pillow’s most important job is to support you in your go-to sleeping position, all night long. And when I say, “support,” I don’t just mean that it feels soft and cozy. The right pillow should keep your head, neck, and spine, all in neutral alignment, and support the natural curvature of your spine. Keeping a neutral spine not only alleviates neck pain, it also relieves pressure throughout your entire body.
Pro Tip: If you’re not exactly sure how to tell if your spine is in neutral alignment, check to make sure your ears are in line with your shoulders, and your chin is in line with your sternum.
