Last Friday I had the opportunity to speak at the Talent Net Live conference in Dallas. It is a social recruiting conference primarily attended by recruiters from Texas, but in it’s second year, it is garnering attention nationwide.

Fear of social media, fear of use of tools, fear of what employees will or won’t say online, fear of loss of productivity, fear of not having a strong enough social media policy, fear of not knowing how to punish employees who get out of line. FEAR.

The Illinois State Council of SHRM is geared up to show their progressive attitude this coming Monday and Tuesday at the state conference. This is a conference for 500 HR professionals who will come together to not only learn about social media, but also about the core functions of HR including: talent management, legal/ employee relations, strategic HR, and HR tools. I’m most looking forward to the keynote by Pamela Meyer, PhD, who will be speaking about highly engaged organizations and innovation. Two subjects near and dear to me from a work standpoint.
