To Be HR, You Have to Do HR for Yourself

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 26, 20181 Comment

To be HR, you have to do HR for yourself. I will always believe in this principle. It’s so core and critical to my life’s philosophy that, when I wasn’t practicing the programs and policies of HR in my daily experience, I left my job. My principle doesn’t just apply to individual practitioners and leaders.…

Happy John Jorgensen Day!

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 24, 2018Leave a comment

If you work in HR and have a Twitter or Facebook account, stop what you’re doing and thank John Jorgensen. He’s the godfather of the modern day HR movement, an early adopter, and someone who deserves your admiration and recognition. John was an HR director before the Great Recession. Over the past ten years, he’s…

Let’s Fix Work 29 – Fixing the Next Generation of Men with Jake Stika

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 24, 2018Leave a comment

“Let’s empower men!” said no one ever. It’s 2018 and we’re still struggling with equality and other social stigmas that come from centuries of brainwashing. But if men are so great, why are they vulnerable to depression and anxiety? Why are we glorifying aggression as something innate to males, and why aren’t we doing anything…

Book Review: Can You Hear Me?

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 21, 2018Leave a comment

I just finished an advance reader copy of, “Can You Hear Me: How to Connect with People in a Virtual World.” It’s written by Dr. Nick Morgan of Public Words, a friend and mentor who never steers me wrong. Dr. Morgan is an expert on communication and body language, and, in this new book, he…

Trends in the HR Technology Industry: Real or Nah?

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 19, 20181 Comment

Remember when things were “things” in the HR tech industry? Wish I took notes, but there have been technology solutions for just about every trendy HR thing under the sun. Not sure I have the order correct, but, back in the day, social media was a thing. Then it was social media marketing. Then it…

The Confidence of a Middle-Aged White Man

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 18, 20181 Comment

A lot of my girlfriends are fond of saying, “God, grant me the confidence of a middle-aged white man.” It always makes me laugh out loud. I think it comes from this article on Medium, which is also funny to me. It’s the belief that your hardship is harder than someone else’s misfortune. It’s the…

Instagram Secrets: Increase Your Following and Likes

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 16, 20182 Comments

There’s a discussion happening with some of my fellow public speakers. We want to know the Instagram secrets. Most of us are under 10,000 followers and can’t crack 200 likes. People “like” us, but our stories are only watched by about 10% of our audience. People in my social scene want to know — Is…

My Friends are Burned Out

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 13, 2018Leave a comment

Hello, everybody, I’m home from Las Vegas and in “hurricane prep” mode. I’m snacking and doing laundry. I’ll be making book recommendations on Twitter, later today, so be sure to follow me for round the clock coverage of my ordinary life. I’m also reflecting on my whirlwind trip to Las Vegas. By the time the…

What Am I Doing in Las Vegas?

WorkBy Laurie RuettimannSeptember 12, 2018Leave a comment

There’s a hurricane headed my way, and I’m sitting in my hotel room killing a few hours before heading to the airport. I’m thinking about all the times I’ve come to Las Vegas for technology conferences and human resources events that promise to change the world and make employees happy, and then all the times…
