Twitter Transparency: I’m Gonna Be Me
Twitter is by far one of my favorite social media platforms. I use it for news, socializing, entertainment, career information and more. It really is one of the greatest things ever (in a “provided all of your basic needs have been met already” type of way.) Continue reading
#NowPlaying: Employee Experience Webinar
Aside
Currently listening to a webinar presented by Globoforce titled Changing the Conversation in 2016: Moving From Engagement to Experience. Looking forward to hearing real-world examples of how companies are enhancing the employee experience.
HR Humor: Flex Time, Schmex Time
Pure , unadulterated fact!
Despite the current conversations surrounding the proven benefits of work/life balance, flexible work hours and the like, it never ceases to amaze me the extent to which this proves true. It’d be great if more employers focused more on employee morale, productivity and results than on a few “missed” minutes in the morning, presuming there is no adverse impact to the business.

8 Tips for Excelling in HR
This handy, dandy, list came into my inbox today and I felt compelled to share. There’s so much amazing information to be parsed from HR professionals who have been in the game much longer than I and I am here for it! Alan Collins is one of them. His site, SuccessInHR.com, is chock full of info on how to grow and succeed as an HR professional. One thing I really appreciate is that he is straight-to-the-point. No beating around the bush. No hand-holding. Just straight talk on how to become the best you can be in your HR career. I printed this out and am going to post it in my office.
Let’s Make This Official: SHRM-CP

I have progressed through my career from HR Assistant to HR Generalist, working with multiple nonprofit organizations (and a few for-profits) in the DC Metro Area. Every few years I would consider pursuing certification (PHR), but for whatever reasons, I never got around to doing it. Continue reading

SHRM #nextchat: Workplace Wellness
I’m a day late on this but better late than never, as they say. As usual, yesterday’s SHRM #nextchat was super interesting and informative. The topic was Does Workplace Wellness Need a Checkup? We do not have a formal wellness program at my current employer so I was interested in learning how other organizations, particularly smaller nonprofits, implement effective programs.

SHRM #nextchat: Org. Size & HR Metrics
Today’s SHRM #nextchat topic was How Organizational Size Affects HR And Metrics. This topic is of particular interest to me because I am tasked with compiling data on Quality of Hire, Cost to Hire, Exit Interviews, etc. I develop quarterly reports and executive summaries and then *crickets.* Nothing happens. So I was interested in learning not only what other organizations measure but also what happens with the data HR collects and presents to leadership. It was a highly informative chat, as usual.
Recognition. It’s So Necessary.
As an HR professional, I hear a lot about employee rewards and perks, retention incentives, etc. Working for a nonprofit, I also hear a lot about a lack of funds for offering these. Employee recognition doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. If you take the time to know your employees, you will come to understand what is important to them. When you know what is important to them, you will better be able to recognize them in meaningful ways and those ways won’t necessarily cost a lot of money. Sometimes it may not cost anything other than a little time, effort and thoughtfulness. Continue reading
