Dream Your HR Dreams, Teach Your HR Dreams

Laurie Ruettimann

I started my job as a writer and speaker in 2007. I began traveling around the country and telling people how much I hated HR and recruiting. It wasn’t a super sophisticated message, but I just wanted my fellow colleagues to know that they could do better. Like, don’t you want more for yourself?

And there I’ve stayed in recruiting, talent acquisition and, finally, employer branding for the past 17 years.

What’s Worse Than One Stereotype? Two – Friday Distraction

HR Bartender

I’m beginning to see a shift in the conversation about Millennials. Instead of talking about generations from the standpoint of attitude or behaviors, the dialogue has moved to one of mindset. Frankly, it’s about time. I’ll use Boomers as an example, since I am one. Well, I’m Generation Jones , but no one talks about that distinction. Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964.

[Infographic] How To Create a Workplace Where Employees Are Happy

Hppy

A happy workforce is a loyal and productive workforce. Boredom, frustration, overwork, underpay, can all leave a high-potential employee looking at his phone up to 150 times a day, or worse – looking at job ads.

Becoming the Leader Who Has All the Good Questions

Trish McFarlane

Think back to being in your early twenties. If you’re anything like me, I was 99% positive I was the best, brightest worker who was going to set the world on fire. The 1% of self-doubt that existed was really a non-event. Each day, I went to work certain that the “powers that be” would recognize my skills and abilities and that would propel me up the ladder faster than everyone else.

The problem with employee wellness programs

Workable

Employee wellness programs are morally questionable and misguided. Companies usually turn to them to reduce health costs, but they’re often ineffective, poorly crafted and discriminatory.
