I thought I would pass this along. A number of companies offer free subscriptions to HR publications, and access to HR related white papers, research papers,...
The latest issue of Workforce Week carries a piece by John Sullivan titled "Kill the HR Speak." It continues a recent trend of bashing HR. I think he makes...
To all: My consulting partner recently received her SPHR certification. She pursued this credential because: 1) she's goal-oriented; 2) she was recruited to...
... I agree with you. I also think it's important to place these kinds of articles within a context. John and I have presented at the same conferences, and...
