Social learning is everywhere around us – in short, bursty ideas that simultaneously draw us in and distract us from whatever we were intending to accomplish. It also brings us together across the digital divide. It’s time to embrace quality peer-to-peer exchange and shared insights…
If it wasn’t for those pesky, messy, meddling humans, the world of work would actually work flawlessly. We’d work together happily and collaboratively, without deceit, harassment or discrimination. We’d all be accountable and personally responsible and have each other’s backs, we’d have reciprocal respect with our leaders, and reality TV would not be a reality. We can dream, can’t we? Consider this: More than 40 companies paid out more than $60 million in settlements or unfavorable court judgments after the EEOC brought systemic discrimination cases in 2011. But there are those who say this kind of law enforcement hampers business growth with burdensome
It’s no secret that organizational cultures have been hurting in recent years. But how can we expect culture to flourish on diminishing investment in the “human” side of business?

“All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of a miracle too good to be true All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew…” –Neil Peart They sat in the front pews listening to our advice.

They listened with guarded optimism, looking tired, a little lost. We talked about résumé best practices and where to look for jobs and how to optimize and leverage
The world may be tired, but it’s time to get fired. Up that is. And we did this week, but just when we’re riding high on inspiration, collaboration and revelation, then comes the post-SHRM dip. The point when after the mega-HR conference, the one put on by the largest HR association on the planet, the Society for Human Resource Management, when all you want to do is relax, stay out of the summer heat for the next two months, and not think or do or be. But if we at least think a little bit more, for those who went to SHRM
We treated them non-generationally and talked with them straight. At one point, the three of us all concurred that being passionate about what you do is one of the most important tenets of the world of work, ever. Then, I added that today we’re not only loyal and committed to the work that moves and schools us, but also to the people who are part of that committed work — because that’s the work that moves us to do greater things for the world. That’s the work that makes it easier for startups to start up and for established companies to grow — creating new
We’d thought we’d cause a rift in the space time continuum. Fortunately we didn’t. That’s because the amazing SocialHRCamp attendees in Vancouver BC and the fantastical #TChat contributors collaborated together during the #TChat hour on the topic of Social HR: Engage the Humans for Social HR Leadership. No rifts, but we most certainly did riff and make sweet rock and roll insight together. The folks who gathered on site of our generous hosts Talent Technology were made up of progressive HR and recruiting professionals ready to learn, share and take the lead in all things social and the world of work.
