Steve Boese and Lars Schmidt are the patron saints of taking one for the team and being nice to me. They always include me in cool things and don’t mind when I hang around. There are a ton of chumpy HR tech bloggers, and then there is Steve Boese. First of all, Steve is a…
Blogging4Jobs is the little engine that could. When Jessica Miller-Merrell showed up on the scene, people didn’t know what to make of a regular HR blog that covered everything from social media to technology while showcasing Jessica’s prominent personality. You know what? The blog is still here, Jessica is still writing, and the website continues…
When someone asks me to show them innovative thinking in HR blogging, I send them to Performance I Create. It’s a multi-contributor blog that covers human performance improvement, training/learning and development, process improvement, instructional design, human resources, communication, social media, leadership, and productivity. The writers are bold, experienced and compassionate individuals who just want to…
Two of the nicest, most authentic HR people I know are Sabrina Baker and Charlie Judy. I met them both through IL SHRM. Sabrina Baker runs Acacia HR Solutions, which is a real business. I love a woman who’s a business owner and a human resources expert. I have no idea how she finds time…
There is no HR blogging community without Sharlyn Lauby and Sarah White Brennan. I’ve admired Sharlyn Lauby’s work from the moment I started reading her blog. Sharlyn is a friend to SHRM, HRCI and every organization that’s trying to make HR better. She’s also an interesting figure because she attends HR conferences and hangs in…

Kris Dunn writes for a website called The HR Capitalist. This blog should be #1 on everybody’s list because Kris is the architect of…

I’m not going dark, though. I’ll have new content up and ready for you. I’ll be writing about outstanding and impressive HR bloggers.…
You guys, I’m ready for my November hiatus. Last year, I ran a marathon. Then I spent the month of November in Australia and Rome. This year, November is just as glorious. I went to the ear doctor, Walmart, and Petsmart. But life is about to get a little exciting. I’m off to Havana, next…
I’m taking the day off. If you need something to read, check out Nick Corcodilos’s piece on Lee Hecht Harrison. (They are an outplacement company that misappropriated some of Nick’s materials over at Ask the Headhunter®.) Crooks, liars or fools? You pick.
You probably have back pain. I don’t know math, but it feels like 100% of the people who work in HR have back pain. What’s up with you people? (Yes, you people.) If you work in HR or recruiting, your back hurts. Fine, okay, my back also hurts. Shut up. Here is what I’m thinking.…
