Upping Our Game
This summer SHRM celebrated a record-breaking 2018 Annual Conference and Exposition in Chicago. It was my first as CEO, and I was blown away by the huge attendance, the more than 700 exhibitors, the hundreds of packed concurrent sessions and our fantastic keynoters.
What impressed me most, however, was watching 22,000-plus members and friends of the HR profession come together to show the world the true impact and value of our work.

Changing Workforce Trends Elevate Importance of HR Leaders
Human resources leaders have had a front-row seat to the rapidly changing world of work: from the evolving worker-employer relationship and the adoption of new technologies, to addressing the widening skills gap and the trend of flexible working arrangements. As their jobs become more complex, HR leaders are uniquely positioned to play a central role in revolutionizing their respective businesses.

Why I Look for Longevity on Resumes
More and more hiring managers no longer view longevity on a résumé as a positive attribute. Some believe it indicates the employee lacks diverse work experience; others that the employee is complacent or is afraid of change. This could very well be the case, but to me (and I may be coming from an old school of thought), stability on a résumé is something that hiring managers should still value. It can demonstrate loyalty, dependability, expertise and commitment.

Vontae Davis’s Crazy NFL Retirement -- How Prepared is Your Business for a Sudden Departure?

There are unexpected retirements.
And, then — hold my drink — there’s Vontae Davis’s retirement.
“Never heard of it. Never seen it.”
Vontae Davis played ten seasons in the National Football League, most recently for the Buffalo Bills.
His last professional game was this past Sunday. There was no ceremony, no festivities, no nothing. That’s because, at halftime of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Vontae Davis suddenly retired, cleaned out his locker, and left the stadium.

#NotionsbyNicole - Conferences are not a Spectator Sport
Last week was the #OHSHRM18 conference, and it exceeded all expectations for a number of reasons. If you have never experienced Jon Petz, I encourage you to do so. He was the closing keynote, and it was magical. I could be a bit biased, but Ohio has one of the BEST State SHRM Conferences. In fact, there was a conference attendee from North Carolina there who had heard the same thing and was encouraged by her manager to attend!
If you are unable to attend a conference...

Leading with Dignity
Dignity. Everyone wants it. But how can organizations create a sense of dignity in the workplace? Donna Hicks, an associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, offers some insights in her book Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People (Yale University Press, 2018). Hicks draws on reserarch and case studies to show leaders how to create cultures that honor people's dignity and reduce conflict.

How do you define dignity? Is it the same as respect?...
