A Quick post like the Flash

From the field calling in for a quick shout out:

One of the best HR sites around is "Inflexion Point". A recent post on whether HR should "Do nothing", has drawn a lot of interest and comment...At HRinsiders we believe in continually moving, if for no other reason to avoid drowning. But seriously, as insiders we believe in evolution and continuous change...We also think HR has a lot to bring to the dance, now and in the future...

We will be back soon to discuss this further (it's late and as super hero's there are lots of villains to fight- so we gotta go), for now you can go over to the post at http://www.inflexionadvisors.com/blog/index.php

Enjoy!

Why be Anonymous?

From the "corner office":

So before we get to any interesting subjects and conversations, I thought I would answer the obvious question/ why be anonymous?

Well there are a few reasons. One is that I have a daytime gig and we have certain "rules" about blogging and social media. In fact most of my colleagues who will be chiming in from time to time will also be anonymous for the same reason. I like to think of my team as the justice league of blogging...they are all leaders in their area of expertise, interesting, funny and intriguing. The members of the justice league all have alter egos during the day so we have a lot in common!

Second it leaves a little more to the imagination and adds to the experience of reading. If you want pure news read the Wall Street Journal, if you want a great blogging experience...look no further. There are so many bloggers out there doing the HR thing. We are a little off the beaten track, maybe a little on the edge...anyway a few weeks from now when we are fully up and running we hope you will agree. If not you get to write in and tell us what you think.

Now back to my first comment: dealing with the reality of RULES at work, especially rules about social media...well not everybody is an early adopter and some companies don't adopt till it's to late like buying an 8 track or a beta max for a discount only to find out the real reason (being obsolete)...I am not passing judgement, just stating what is....If your reading this post you already have an opinion on blogging so I am not going to preach to the choir. The future is here and HR practitioners need to work hard as evangelists of change in relaxing social media policies.
Enough said for now...

Welcome to HRinsider

From the "corner office":

I work for a large multinational by day. I blog and dabble in social media when I am not busy making money and saving the world (at least the world I inhabit during day light hours). No I am no superhero, however I act like one in terms of keeping my identity secret. Think of me as the Clark Kent of HR blogging. I will be weighing in every week on today's most pressing people topics and adding in a little personal spice for good measure.

have a topic or a question? fire away...

I'll be back in a few days with my first real post.
