I follow the jobless claims from week to week pretty closely. It's not near as much fun as say, watching to see if Lady Gaga will show up covered in raw eggs and bran cereal, but it's something I feel I need to do for my job.

Prologue The primary reasons HR professionals attend chapter meetings are networking and earning recertification credits toward their PHR or SPHR.

Employee Engagement: “You don’t get me I am part of the union.&#. Engagement for all. The subtitle of this post has a line from the chorus of the song, Part of the Union.
