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.

I’m on a road trip. No, not the kind you take with the family. It’s a conference season kick-off trip. I spent last Thursday/ Friday at Talent Net Live in Dallas. Then, I came straight over to Orlando for HR Florida. It’s been an amazing few days of learning already and I’m getting lots of [...]
Earlier today, I read a great post by my friend John Nykolaiszyn(@CigarSPHR) about what he has been doing to promote advances in the profession since HRevolution 2. That post inspired me to take a look in the rear view mirror to see if I am staying on track with changing HR as a practitioner from the inside out and giving back to the HR community.
If you use the discount code ‘RINGLEADER10’ when you register, you’ll save $500 off the cost of the conference.
What I find most interesting and inspiring though is the HR Florida State Council is brining in a special opportunity for students. They are looking forward to our future HR and recruiting professionals and helping bring them into the fold now.
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.
One thing I find interesting is that people who do not blog are often curious about the process. You’ve probably watched the Wizzard of Oz, so you know that closer to the end of the movie, Dorothy and her crew pull back the curtain in the palace to find out that the great and powerful Oz is no more than a regular guy. I don’t claim to be great and powerful, but I am just a regular girl.
I’m excited to announce a special edition of the HR Carnival coming June 16th. I will be hosting an entire carnival of posts dedicated to examples of how you are incorporating “social media” or “new media” into your work. Whether you are in human resources, recruiting, marketing, finance, or other aspects of business, we’re interested [...]
