In the middle of winter there’s a warm huddle coming to New England. It’s the Boston leg in a series of red-hot “un-conferences” for HR professionals – called SocialHR Camp. A dynamic, flexible, collaborative knowledge-sharing environment – designed for HR pros who want to leverage social media in their workplace environments and in their careers. Sounds very cool.
On the second anniversary of #TChat, the TalentCulture community celebrates the spirit of collaboration, social learning and organizational growth with inspiring thoughts from some of our most faithful participants.

Live from the Society of Human Resource Management Leadership conference in our nation’s capitol – the weekly #TChat Twitter forum tackled issues at the intersection of business leadership, HR and public policy…
Without getting overly political, can we talk about how public policy is re-shaping the world of work…?
As a flood of recent veterans return from tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, they bring specialized skills, professionalism and commitment to the workforce. So why are employers slow to hire those who’ve served in the military? What should recruiters and business leaders do to dispel myths and leverage this strong talent pool?
In a time of historic unemployment, with veterans returning from protracted wars, the TalentCulture community takes a hard look at how America can leverage the talents of those who have served our country…
People have very strong feelings about the definition of “community” in a social business context. And this week in the World of Work, we’ll dig even deeper into the differences and similarities among talent communities, social communities, and other communities supported by digital channels…
I never get tired of talking about social communities and their impact on brands and the recruiting process for the right talent. But what does it mean to “manage” communities – and what is the role of a “community manager” in today’s social business environment?
This week in the TalentCulture community, we’re going to examine employee engagement— the lack of it, the skills needed for it, the mindful state required to understand the very notion of it. It’s controversial, but it begs our attention…
Working at the speed of business – what exactly IS the speed limit, anyway? The TalentCulture community takes on this question at #TChat this week…
Today’s workforce is multi-generational – but unlike 10 or even 20 years ago, age is not the primary determinant of management status. What does this generational mix mean for workplace culture – and how effective are new development models, such as reverse mentoring?
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…
Employer brands and personal brands – is alignment required? Should employers strive to promote a fit? And what is a good balance – for better or worse? We’ll explore these issues and more at #TChat this week…
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,
In today’s increasingly informal work environment, what’s the most appropriate want to bring new hires and contractors into the fold? How can you make a lasting first impression, and support new hires throughout their indoctrination?
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? And how long can HR wave its magic wand until business leaders reinforce culture at its foundations? #TChat sparked some serious questions…
Is it time for chief culture officers to emerge in the workplace? Is this what it will take to provide a bridge between executive leadership, business culture and an increasingly disaffected workforce? That’s what was on our minds at TalentCulture this week…
Once I dipped my toe into the Twitter pool, I knew there was no turning back. And now here I am one year later, writing the recap for the very chat that indoctrinated me into the social world of work…
Business is messy – and it’s only getting messier. So perhaps that’s where HR can truly make a difference today – to know the business, staff the business, teach the business and grow the business – all predicated on managing the messy yet mingled bad with the good. We can lead the way in helping business learn from its mistakes…
Human Resources…what does it mean to most people in today’s workplace? HR is usually seen less a curators of workplace culture and more as the police brought in to direct traffic or quell a riot. So how do we change it up? What can we do to add value?
I’d like to talk about several pet theories about employer/employee relationships. First, employees work to make money. Second, it’s Maslow’s world, and we just live in it. So what does this mean for the world of work? Let’s look closer…
Innovation and entrepreneurship, paired with good old-fashioned hard work, have created a new era of “fringe” benefits. But despite all the fancy tricks organizations offer these days, it seems like they may not get it. Recognition 101 = Listening.
