I'm back! Last week, at our all staff HR meeting, the CHRO shared this video about Inclusion, Inclusion Starts with I, from Accenture. I have to admit I was skeptical. And I also have to admit, I was moved. We are all biased and we forget the many many ways bias can show up, especially …

We love to talk about HR Shenanigans! People can do some crazy sh!t, and let's face it, if they didn't many of us wouldn't have a job! We've had this topic in the past, and we were thankful for Kate & Marc for covering for Jon & me as we were in the middle of …

My daughter is always making up new cards for Uno [she wanted to create a card that made us switch hands …
This week, I'm starting with 3 of my own! First, I want to share the very first watch party that #HRSocialHour hosted. Anne and I were to go to WorkHuman Live in May 2020 to host an #HRWonderWomen panel. We had 3 awesome ladies lined up to join us. Alas, coronavirus had other plans and …

Starting this week's list with a non-HR link, but an important one. The highest award a Girl Scout can earn is the Gold Award (think Eagle Scout, but for Girl Scouts). Each year, Girl Scouts selects the top 10 Gold Award projects and I'm sharing them with you to raise awareness of these awesome young …
