Telling HR Stories on Honest HR

by Deanna MunozOn July 18, 2018 0 comments

 

About three months ago, I was invited to a meeting with some of our marketing gurus and newest Field Services Director (FSD) – and when I say newest, Callie’s been here for 10 months and is practically a seasoned SHRM employee at this point.  But I’ll get back to her later. 

I knew the concept of an HR podcast was to be discussed during this meeting, but I assumed that they were just going to ask for my advice on HR and/or young professional topics, given that I fall in that...

“Inclusion!” Experiencing my First SHRM Annual Conference! #SHRM18

by Antonella Zavala-MarcksOn July 18, 2018 0 comments

 

Is Diversity and Inclusion important within your organization? Do you do it because it is the right thing to do or because it is the smart thing to do?

This was my first time attending a SHRM conference, local, state or national. I was honored to be one of the recipients of this year’s SHRM Foundation scholarship. Moreover, I was touched as an international student from Ecuador, now working in human resources, to experience the theme and feel of inclusion throughout the conference.

Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM’s CEO, opened the conference highlighting how important it is to implement...

Through the Looking Glass #SHRM18

He drove by with a wave, rolled down the window and asked,”Kavi?” In an inchoate two minutes, I was seated settled in the comfortable car with his words “I’ll get you to the airport. Nice and safe” to soothe me.

#SHRM18 had just wound down to a close and I was tearing myself away from the comfortable confines of McCormick Place in Chicago.  Salim (name changed ) was my Uber driver.

Uber drivers who indulge my need for conversations are special.  Speak to a few of them in a city, and you can...

No degree? No experience? No problem.

A high demand for skills combined with a low unemployment rate have made nontraditional pools of talent an attractive option for employers looking to boost recruiting efforts.

Organizations are increasing their candidate flow and building greater diversity in their pipelines by removing the barriers—such as a bachelor’s degree or previous corporate experience—that keep viable candidates from applying.

The SHRM Online article “Employers Open to Ditching Degree Requirements When...

HR Metrics, Analytics, and Data: 7 Rules to Remember

by Sharlyn LaubyOn July 17, 2018 0 comments

 

 

 

Numbers seem to be at the top of everyone’s priorities right now. And when I say numbers, I mean metrics, big data, and analytics. But before we go any further, it’s important to understand that these terms are different. I know they are sometimes used interchangeably. I’m guilty of it myself. Here are the definitions:

Analytics is about using past data to generate predictions or insights.

Data are statistics collected...

Looking Deeper into the Cave

by Gene HobbsOn July 17, 2018 0 comments

 

 

 

With the events surrounding the Thailand cave rescue that has occurred this month, I was reminded that this international team is made of people that are much more than what we read on their resume or LinkedIn profile. Their experiences enabled them to be productive team members and they were not learned on the job or in a classroom.

Dr. Richard “Harry” Harris went to Flinders University Medical School and then specialized in anesthesia. He has substantial...

Believe in Yourself #Guestpost

by Nicole Roberts, SHRM-CP, PHROn July 16, 2018 0 comments

 

 

When a fellow HR Blogger invites you to be a guest on their blog, the answer is YES.  EVERY. TIME.  Wendy has thought this through, and she even provided writing prompts!  While there were plenty to pick from, one resonated with me:

“If you could change one thing about HR (as in you have a magic wand), what would you change? What steps can we take today to make that change happen?”

What would I change if I had a magic wand?  Well, I don’t think we need a magic...
