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.

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.

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.

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.
