Weather Channel’s
Lisa Chang Talks Benchmarking
A benchmark
is defined by the Merriam-Webster
dictionary as something that serves as
a standard by which others may
be measured or judged. When it comes
to making critical business decisions,
HR benchmarking is increasing in importance.
We had an opportunity to ask
Lisa Chang, EVP of Human Resources
for the Weather
Channel Companies, about how
she uses benchmarks as a part of her
HR toolkit.
Q: How often do you
use/reference benchmarks in your job?
Get
Lisa’s answer
and more! Read
the full Q& A.
This Just In
Three Cable Companies Recognized
for Diversity
 |
DiversityInc. recently
published its
Top 50 Companies for Diversity®,
and three companies
from CTHRA’s
membership were
included: Turner
Broadcasting was ranked #21, Cox Communications
earned
the #25 spot,
and Comcast was
included as #49. We applaud their success! |
The rankings are determined
by responses to a 230-question
survey which measures CEO commitment,
human capital, corporate
communications and supplier diversity.
CEO commitment is the most heavily weighted
criteria.
Only companies with 1,000 or
more employees qualify
for consideration.
Bank of America earned
the number one ranking. The complete
listing can be seen at http://diversityinc.com/public/1595.cfm.
Again, Congratulations to
Turner Broadcasting, Cox Communications and
Comcast for their achievements in diversity!
CTHRA’s
2007 Benchmarking Initiatives
CTHRA will
spearhead four industry-specific benchmarking
initiatives in 2007: our annual
assessment of compensation among cable
and satellite multiple systems operators
(MSOs),
the annual programmers’ compensation
report, CTHRA’s second annual study
of human capital metrics, and an evaluation
of employee benefits.
Data for each project
will be compiled via confidential
surveys administered
by three research firms. The Croner Company
will manage the compensation surveys
and reports. Saratoga, a PricewaterhouseCoopers
Human Resources offering, will conduct
the
human capital metrics survey and assessment,
and Standard & Associates will oversee
CTHRA’s 2007 employee benefits effort.
“
As executives increasingly emphasize
human capital’s role in achieving business
objectives, we have seen a demand for
industry-specific benchmarks. CTHRA is pleased
to respond to
this need by expanding our benchmarking
efforts in 2007,” stated Juan L. Munoz,
president of CTHRA and regional vice president
of human
resources for Time Warner Cable’s Texas
region.
