Are you in HR?  Yes?

Do you feel like you have a good handle on all the business skills you need to be as successful as possible?  No?

Well, Victorio Milian over at Creative Chaos Consultant blog has the cure for that.  Several months ago, Victorio started a series of posts under the “HR 101″ umbrella.  He then reached out to some strong leaders in the HR industry and had them post about topics such as finance, internal communications, PR, HR technology, law, and statistics, to name a few.

Now, you can get all these great posts in one convenient place, the HR 101 e-book.

Download your copy here, refer your friends and colleagues, and please be sure to let Victorio know that you appreciate his efforts by commenting on his blog or tweeting at him here.

This morning, I’m excited to be contributing over at Creative Chaos Consultant’s blog.  He is putting together a great series about what HR pros really need to know in order to be successful.  His posts will explore each area in depth.  First up, finance.

Finance should not be the dreaded topic for those of us in human resources. Understanding it is the way to have the ability to contribute more in your HR role.

So, head over to check out his post ‘HR 101- Finance‘, Part One.
