I’ve been going to a lot of conferences lately and noticed that people are using the terms training, facilitating, and presenting interchangeably. And for the purposes of a conversation, it might be perfectly acceptable to use the terms in that way.

Human productivity can be difficult to measure, especially in some knowledge-worker roles. Take content marketing for example. What level of output indicates acceptable performance; one viral blog post per month or ten mediocre ones? Chicken productivity, on the other hand, has one simple success metric — how many eggs are in the basket? It may seem absurd to compare the efforts of these two very different species.

Human Resource (HR) managers constantly face the mammoth challenge to increase efficiency and provide better employee services. HR reform is in fact an area which is often overlooked although it plays such a pivotal role in most businesses.

If you’re like me and about 1.79 billion of my closest friends, you have a Facebook account—yes, that’s billion (with a b), and growing. In fact, it’s a 16 percent increase from the 2015 figure, according to Facebook’s 2016 Q3 Earnings Report.

It’s the time of year where HR companies push content marketing that takes one of two forms: 1. 2016 Year in Review. 2. 2017 HR and Recruiting Predictions. For years, I wrote these articles for my clients. Now that I’m focused on other things in my life, this work falls to other marketing professionals. And, while I don’t blame anybody for writing about topics that get read, most year-end HR content is a copy+paste from previous years.
