HR professionals wear many hats these days, not only within the traditional boundaries of their profession but across the organization.
Lately, they’ve been doing a lot of marketing.

As the market for talent has heated up, it’s given rise to a new segment of recruitment which is recruitment marketing.

Advocacy has become a passion of mine and I believe it to be an important part of the human resources profession. My advocacy journey truly started prior to me joining the HR profession, in fact it was one of the reasons I went into the profession knowing that someone had to advocate for those that couldn’t.

In most working environments, there are no hand-written rules surrounding proper email etiquette. Many of us know to avoid the obvious: politically incorrect cartoons, offensive video content, unforgiving language and other questionable materials.
But, it’s often the lapses in communication that result in conflict. For example, by simply pressing “forward” without an explanation or introduction, you leave the message’s meaning up to the recipient’s interpretation. You could quickly offend your recipient and create an unnecessary misunderstanding.
Think about this: While you may think that simply forwarding an article or e-newsletter is...
Q: The weather is getting warmer and I’m already dreading the poor dressing choices my employees will start wearing soon. Last year we had several issues come up, so I know we need to have a dress code policy this year, but I have no idea where to start. Suggestions?
A: For starters, it may feel less daunting to write a dress code policy if you start with a Summer Dress Policy. Something that applies let’s say between Memorial day and Labor day. Then worry about the rest later....

Not an enviable place for a leader to be in.
Many crises begin when an allegation of misconduct is
