“Always drink upstream from the herd.” – Will Rogers One of the lesser-known pitfalls for an HR professional working as a Business Partner is one not normally mentioned when the topic of “HR Competencies” is discussed. At least in a corporate HRBP role, you can actually run into the complication of being too damn friendly. Truthfully, it can be a …
“Be prepared to leave the company.” That’s the professional opinion I gave the Mrs., sometime last year when she was feeling jerked around by her employer and had reached the point of making a formal complaint to Human Resources. It’s a sad commentary on our profession, but I knew the potential end-game she faced once that bridge was crossed – …

Hello and welcome to another fabulous week with the FOT tribe. Kick it off right with these five must-reads: 1. Paid Sick Leave: Solving a Health Issue or Another Burden on Employers?

Oh I've got this nailed….a lawyer with your social media policy in their hand. Haha! You think I jest, don't you? I'm not. Not at all. HR is running scared from Social Media.

I'll never forget the day that our favorite IT guy (ever) came to me, and told me, the vendor we were working with, was trying to recruit him. I think he wanted me to beg him to stay. I didn't, but in hind-sight, maybe I should have. I asked him what they were offering. I told him I really wanted …
The XXX Olympics (I snicker every time I type that. Should I use the number 30 instead?) has been running for the last week and there have been some high points and low points. The NBC coverage – both real-time and prime-time has been difficult to manage and some of the connectorati have voiced their outrage at how crappy some …
If you’ve been in HR for at least 30 minutes you’ve heard someone in your organization bitch about a bonus. It comes part and parcel with the gig – from the beginning of time when the first caveman decided he needed some additional incentive for his cave drawers and developed the 5 drawings and you get an extra brontosaurus burger …
This past week I’ve been putting some finishing touches on a Pecha Kucha presentation I’m giving at the end of the month. Pecha Kucha – pronounced “pa-chok-cha” – is a style of presentation made up of 20 slides (predominately images) shown for 20 seconds each. Originally devised by architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham in 2003 in Japan, it was …
Recruiting can be a dangerous place…judgments can abound. I’ve written before about past responsibilities I’ve had as a sourcer. During telecom’s peak in 2000, my company proactively searched job boards to retain staff that were testing the waters for new careers.
