One of the most fascinating lectures I’ve seen recently is this 12-minute speech by Ali Carr-Chellman, in which she explains how the modern education system is doing a disservice to boys. Check it out: What struck me most about the video—aside from the amazing statistics—is that she doesn’t believe it’s the boys who need to change. It’s the system. And when she points out that 93 percent of elementary school teachers are women, it’s easy to see how boys don’t feel like they’re represented fairly

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
