I swear I’m not vain. Really, I’m not. Except this one time… A few years back, when I moved to DC, I had the luxury of moving without a job. (Obviously, the market was different then.) New gal in town, I wanted to really explore my options in DC and meet with a lot of different employers to find just …
I have to admit I’ve been one of those HR Pros who got to design and develop relocation policies a few times in my career. I admit this because my philosophy on relocation has changed somewhat over the years – not because of my experience with relocation design and administration – but because I was put in positions – 4 …
Well, of course. A headline like How to Make HR Relevant would catch my eye. It probably caught your eye too. And it just so happens to be the topic for this week’s ideacast from the Harvard Business Review. Yeah, yeah, call me a masochist, but I kinda like it when someone has something to say about how much HR …
If you have a kid who is pretty good at a sport and has a passion for it, you fuel that talent and that passion. That means you go to more games than you can count. You support them and volunteer for concession duty and put up with the “politics of parents” that surround the little league team. Let me …
In the last few weeks I’ve spoken on two panels regarding social media to audiences of HR pros in Houston. During one of them, I asked the event organizers if they had seen a difference in the level of engagement, types of questions, audience size/make-up, etc. depending on the city they had been to.

Nice. This is the guy who had a crush on the receptionist and who mustered …
In case you missed this, a Detroit, MI city employee sued the City of Detroit after claiming the perfume a co-worker was wearing caused her not to be able to do her job. Apparently, the perfume and room deodorizer that her co-worker was using made it uncomfortable for this employee to work to the point she suffered migraines, nausea and coughing. …
I don’t know if anyone else saw this, but my favorite HR organization, SHRM, decided it was time to start selling upgrades! That’s right, for the low, extremely value conscience amount of $295, you too can get a special ribbon on your badge at the 2010 SHRM National Convention as part of your “New Annual Conference Premium Package.” But wait, …
Oh boy, I’m sure my brothers and sisters who have studied so hard for their SPHRs and PHRs aren’t going to like this. Best Practices are hurting HR. I know, I hear you – but, Tim, you’re an idiot – if it wasn’t for HR Best Practices, I wouldn’t have discovered that tracking turnover was important! Really? Are you sure …
I like the way people have really gotten their knickers in a twist over the many lists John Sumser has created over time. Bully for him.

But Sumser’s list got me to thinking about influencers and to look at my career, and …
