Do you ever feel like your evaluation process is a skit from "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Me too. I've started exploring how to improve your evaluation process and one of the first steps is to build trust. Join me over at Workology (and my first ever post there!) as I share what I learn.

Respect
We are definitely in a watershed moment here folks. Women, people are coming forward to say No More to harassment, sexual or otherwise. I have my own #MeToo moments but nothing like some of that we're hearing about. But that's how it starts, isn't it? It starts with someone getting away with, or not getting …
#HRSocialHour We are Thankful!
What a fantastic conversation we had to close out the long Thanksgiving Holiday weekend (at least for those of us in the US). I really enjoyed spending a little extra time with my #HRSocialHour / #HRTribe on Twitter. Jon & I have a few things brewing for 2018, so we are so thankful for everyone …
My HR Tribe
It has been amazing to me how quickly my HR Tribe has grown in the past few years. Since moving to South Dakota and discovering the how to use Twitter to create a tribe, a network, chat, I have seen my connections expand and grow into real friendships. I've found I know more than I …

The candidates should now be banging on our door to work for our fantastic organization - after all, we've shared our culture, our values and we've shared a clear expectation for this role & know …
Finding the #RightSeat
When you see this chair, you know what it is for and who it is for. You know why it is important. I don't care which Star Trek captain is your favorite (obviously, Chris Pine is my favorite), when you see this chair, you know. Can you say the same for each seat in your …
Right People, Right Seats
As I talked about in a previous post, the leadership team took some time away to talk about our business. At that meeting, our consultant (the awesome John Fulwider) gifted each of us a copy of How to Be a Great Boss by Gino Wickman. The book is a really deep dive into one chapter …
Sick Days
Recently I took a sick day. When I got up, I felt like crap and when my calendar showed ZERO meetings, I decided to take advantage of the situation. Texted my boss & then took a shower & pretended to get ready for work so there would be no fights from my daughters as I …
