Step Out of Line !!

by Steve BrowneOn July 3, 2018 0 comments

I’ve just returned from SHRM18, and this was one of the best SHRM Annual Conferences I’ve attended. It was the largest and most attended in SHRM’s history, and yet it felt very accessible and easy to maneuver. The attendees were geeked whether they were in sessions, browsing the SHRM store, enjoying the keynotes or taking in the wonder of Chicago.

At the end of one of the days, the 17,000+ attendees all seemed to be leaving at the same time. I was in the midst of everyone else and was hot and tired – just like the masses....

A Millennial Outlook on #SHRM18

by Chloe ArriagaOn June 27, 2018 0 comments

A huge thank you to Rebecca Peters, SHRM, and CHCI for inviting me to #SHRM18! Fresh out of college, I am grateful for the opportunity to develop professionally and expand my network.

My initial perspective that HR merely files paperwork and polices the workforce was shattered at #SHRM18. I am excited to discover, there is room for number crunching, strategic decision-making and most importantly, creativity. Johnny C. Taylor hit the nail on the head in declaring, now is the greatest time to be an HR professional.

After navigating through the...

HR Technology in the Post SHRM18 Era

by David KovacovichOn June 27, 2018 0 comments

The 2018 Society for Human Resource Management Annual Conference & Exposition has concluded. and HR professionals are in equal parts exhausted and inspired as they digest knowledge and seek to share it in their native space.

Having attended eight SHRM Annual Conferences in the last decade, I'm always impressed with the evolution of networking and knowledge sharing that continues to build out the HR tool belt.

First time attendees always share with me their amazement with the Exhibitor Hall; a physical representation of the crowded Human Capital Management space. With...

Expanding HR: To Infinity… and Beyond! #SHRM18

by Jillian CaswellOn June 27, 2018 0 comments

#SHRM18 was only my second annual conference, but it was no surprise that I came home once more with a brain overflowing with new ideas and perspectives. Upon my adventure home, I sat at Gate L7 in O’Hare International Airport and struggled to pry my thoughts away from the stream of HR-consciousness buzzing in my brain. This year’s conference theme was “Expanding Your World” and couldn’t have been more accurately descriptive of my own experience.

As with so many, I too “fell” into HR and after beginning to understand it as...

If I Could Change the World: #SHRM18 Recap

by Katrina KibbenOn June 26, 2018 0 comments

“Stop everything you’re doing. I need this in two hours.”

I was submerged back into the real world of work almost instantly as I walked into Midway airport after SHRM 2018. For a few days, I was in this oasis of people with big ideas and plans for changing the world. We were having conversations that were so much larger than work. The kind of stuff that could really change people’s lives. But there I was, slammed back into the real world abruptly.

In all fairness, our bubble was just...

3 Levers to Increase Diversity in Your Organization

by Julie LiOn June 26, 2018 1 comment

Building a diversity strategy is a critical goal for many organizations, but how do you get started? Diversity can feel ambitiously amorphous because it touches every part of the organization from hiring to onboarding to culture. Not only do you want to attract a more diverse pool of candidates, but you want to keep them engaged and motivated over time. This means that to scale diversity throughout your organization, you need to consider all parts of the...
