#SHRM Benefits Survey: 40% More Companies Offer Telecommuting

Workology

If you haven’t seen it, the playful Forbes 10 Under 10 Influencers in Tech video jabs at the ever-diversifying tech industry. (Our own Andee Harris wrote more about the video here.) It seems as though each start up founder is younger than the previous and this video implies that it won’t be long before think tanks will be held in bouncy castles. But it’s true, Millennials (1980-1995) and Generation Z (born after 1995) are taking the workplace by storm, working alongside members of Generation X

UpstartHR

I’m blessed again this year to be attending the SHRM Annual Conference. Yesterday I spoke with a friend that I haven’t seen at a SHRM event in a while.

Even the expo hall has a great set of vendors and providers to fill every possible need in the HR world.
