Strategic HCM

'John Boudreau is another one of those not-such-a-favourite-of-mine academics , but my HR blogging friend in Singapore, Abhishek Mittal, has been singing his praises, so I’ve been looking forward to his session in Las Vegas.

David Zinger

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR Compliance

Speaker: Ann Meyers Piccirillo

The Bamboo Project Blog

I've noticed that when it comes to achieving my goals, I have a tendency to think I should "go big or go home."

Better Execution With ‘No-Follow Up’ Culture
