HR always organizes the summer picnic, the holiday party , and the company 5K. If they are sharp, your HR lady asks the local admins for help. (This is why the admins think they work in HR, by the way.) Organizing a company event is a pain because people always ask the same questions. Do…
I vowed that 2014 would be the year that I started to live a big life. I sent out a note and told friends and acquaintances that I would be interested in doing new and different things. I asked people to keep me in mind if they had any projects that required a different type…
One of my very best friends told me that my blog is boring when I write about human resources. “Where is the human in human resources? I go there for you. You are at your best when you write about politics, cats and running. I don’t want to read about HR technology or employee engagement.…

There are approximately 1.1 million people living with HIV in the U.S. It is estimated that almost one-fifth (18.1 %) of those people don’t know they are infected. Testing…
I hope you feel safe and loved.
I am not America’s HR lady. America’s HR lady is actually Robin Schooling. But one of the unique things about my company is that I offer HR for human resources professionals.
