I was out walking with my wife recently (that’s what middle-aged suburban people do, we walk, it makes us feel like we are less lazy and it gets us away from the kids so we can talk grown up) and she made this statement in a perfectly innocent way: “It’s really hard to judge people.”. She said this to ‘me’! I start laughing. She realized what she said and started laughing.

The professional side of me always thinks about the New Year in terms of goal setting and strategy. But, I don’t have a human resources or business article today. New Year’s is about more than business. I ran across this infographic from History.com and thought it was fun. For example, I thought the section on New Year’s foods was interesting. Growing up, eating pork for dinner was a New Year’s tradition.

With 2018 just around the corner, HR and talent decision makers remain stymied by the diversity challenge. As the new year dawns, getting diversity data in better shape is on the minds of many employers, and nowhere is that issue more acute than within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mat (STEM) professional field. For example, a 2017 survey from Indeed , the job site, found that 43 percent of 1,011 employees polled worry about losing their job due to their age.

In 2013, at the end of my first week as Cornerstone OnDemand's first manager of learning and development , I sat down and wrote a three-year training plan. After just a few days on the job, I had no idea what my budget would be, but that didn't influence my priorities in the least.

Quality talent acquisition is the priority of every recruiter and staffing agency. Only a resume parser can provide a solution to this challenge by filtering candidate data for easy hiring. However, as a small-scale staffing agency, you have limited resources and no technical backup to use an expensive resume parser software.

Life as I once knew it is now over. Oh it’s not as terrible as it sounds.
