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
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.
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.

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.
This is one of my favorite quotes. I even added it to my email signature. It’s a constant reminder that we can’t just sit back and let life happen TO us. We have to go out and MAKE things happen. This is my mantra for 2016.
I’ve been an HR Professional for over 10 years. 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

I’m so glad I work in an office where I can play music. I would go stir-crazy if I couldn’t. Between Pandora and Spotify I can change the music to fit my mood. I might play anything from Smooth Jazz to 90s R&B to Kanye West Radio, depending on the type of energy I need at any given moment. Sometimes I need to keep from falling asleep. Sometimes I need to relieve stress. Sometimes I’m ticked off and need to think happy thoughts. Such is life as an HR pro. 🙂
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.

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.
