HR Conferences around the world are all the same. I can say this with authority. I’ve been to events in over thirty states in America, multiple events in Canada, the Caribbean, four countries in Western Europe, Turkey, Australia, and now India. For as unique as we think we are, the global HR and recruiting profile at these events looks the …
Coming to you live (sort of live), from the Globoforce WorkHuman Conference in Orlando, Florida, where a few of your pals from FOT (and a bunch of other HR thought leaders), have gathered for a couple of days at what is a really different kind of event. I heard a great line in one of the keynotes at the event: …
I headed out to Vegas a few weeks ago for the HR Tech conference full of enthusiasm on a quest to learn about the latest and greatest innovations in the people technology space. The conference itself is quite a production—it’s enormous in all senses of the word, and it attracts some fantastic people and speakers (isn’t Marcus Buckingham great??). But …
The world of HR blogging is messy, and the streets of the HR social world are littered with the decaying bodies of failed websites, broken media partnerships, and neglected conferences. This week, my friend Lars Schmidt is hosting the LinkedIn Talent Connect live stream. Lars is a recruiting nerd, tech geek, and ruthless entertainer. It should be fun. But before …
This week, Microsoft is hosting Codess on campus in Redmond. Codess is a networking event for women engineers—a place where they can get together and learn, mentor, and meet new people like themselves in a world that is dominated by men. The brain trust behind this event is my colleague, Alexa Glick (@alexa_glick for your own enrichment purposes). She coordinated …
It’s that time of year, people. It’s time for the best show in the talentsphere, and we’re here with HR Tech Conference co-chair, Steve Boese, to preview a little bit of what this year’s HR Tech conference has to offer attendees. This conference isn’t just about HR. It’s not just about technology, either. It’s about people coming together to figure out …
I attended a HR forum recently with some decent topics and speakers. There was good energy in the room, most everyone was engaged and then… the cat picture! A HR speaker from a well-known, global organization got up to talk about talent management and her second slide was some stupid cat image. To add insult to injury, she says, “I …
My husband has always had the hots for Jacqueline Bisset. So when she won for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes recently, he couldn’t wait to check her out… ummm, I mean listen to what she was going to say. My husband no longer has the hots for Jacqueline Bisset. For those of you who missed it, after taking …
I love this time of year. I enjoy taking stock and reflecting on the previous years’ highs and lows—and the times that everything was on cruise control. This year was a bit more of a roller coaster than I expected in my personal life, but wow… work life knocked the ball right out of the park! We’re doing research faster—and smarter—than …
I am just back from the InfluenceHR conference where 100 marketing executives came together to discuss new ways to market and sell technology to human resources departments. I helped to create the agenda for this event. George LaRocque is my partner. We believe that you can’t sell HR technology if you don’t know the major trends in the workforce. So …
