There’s a long list of topics that are “inappropriate” for the workplace: religion, sex, drugs, politics, money. We know these taboos, and we shush anyone about to bring them up. We want a “civil” work environment, so rather than train people on how to have a conversation about these topics, we pretend they don’t exist …

#HRSocialHour Twitter Chat 7/12 7 pm ET: Small Business HR
According to the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, 99.7% of businesses have fewer than 500 workers and employ 46.8% of private sector employees.

Loyalty-Schmoyalty
During a time of high unemployment, it seems odd to be talking about loyalty. But the topic seems to rear it's head on a fairly regular basis, especially in terms of employment. We hear about employers wanting their employees to be loyal, and there have even been a few posts about how employers should "reward" …
#MissingSHRM20, but did we?
This is the point where everyone is putting out "what did I learn at SHRM" blog posts. But not this year. COVID has seen to that. But even if we can't meet in person, we are doing what we can to continue to meet virtually. It's not the same, by any stretch, and even the …
#NotAtSHRM20!! Join us!
If not for COVID, I would be traveling to San Diego today. There would be brunches and lunches, and coffees and cocktails. We’d be hugging, laughing and learning together. But alas, we are not. At least not together! We STILL get the cocktails, laughing & learning! Jon and I are partnered with Paycor to do …
#NotAtSHRM20: a Twitter Chat
In February, our usual plans for SHRM changed. With SHRM changing their plans for the blog squad, Jon & I decided to take advantage of the situation and were introduced a sponsor, Paycor, (thanks to Jennifer McClure) which would definitely take our SHRM national conference experience to a different level. And then, COVID. Things were …
Speak Up
This just happened to be the devotional for June 19, 2020 on my Bible App (YouVerson). Timely & Fitting. "So the next time you feel God prompting you to speak up, don't pass up the opportunity. You might be surprised to find out how He'll use what you have to say." Speaking out is hard. …
#HRSocialHour Chat about Employee Perks
This may seem an odd time to talk about Employee Perks -- after all don't we have more important things to worry about than those little extra things we share with our employees? Perks can be more than just donuts in the break room or tickets to a Dave Matthews concert. The perks you share …
Recruiting During a Recession
While there is a lot of talk about how we are in ‘unprecedented times’, some of us have been here before. A couple of times actually. Yes, this is the first pandemic of the modern working world, but we have been through recessions in recent history. In my working lifetime, I’ve been through 2: after …
Racism & Microaggressions, an #HRCommunity Chat
I am always up for a good Twitter Chat! So when my friend Wendy Kelly put out that she wanted to lead a chat on racism & microaggressions, I knew I wanted to help. It’s not easy to lead a chat and I wanted this one to be successful. https://twitter.com/wendymshrmphr/status/1266044214007271425?s=21 Please join us 6/2 at …
