I want to thank Mississippi Valley Human Resources Association for inviting me to be their featured speaker for their monthly meeting yesterday. I saw lots of familiar names on our virtual session and got good questions and interaction around the importance of handling departures and the impact it has on your organizational culture. If you know of a group that would be interested in that message, let me know!  #shrm #iashrm

The article "Managing Human Resources" from Harvard Business Review discusses the challenges and necessary changes in human resource management (HRM). It argues that traditional HRM theories often fail due to unrealistic management expectations, contradictory theories, and undermining assumptions about employee motivation. The article emphasizes the need for a new HR approach that focuses on basic skills like supervision and communication, and recognizes the importance of the personnel function in corporate development. https://lnkd.in/gxKZ4rgC

HR should be the most approachable person in the organization - the friend everyone trusts, the guide everyone needs. It takes time to build this image, but trust me, it works wonders in bringing people together. #HumanResources #EmpathyAtWork #LeadershipMatters #WorkplaceCulture #BuildingTrust #PeopleFirst #EmployeeEngagement #TeamSupport #HRLeadership #OrganizationalSuccess Xavier Institute of Social Service

We hear a lot about employee burnout. In a recent SHRM article, a reported 57% of employees are experiencing at least moderate burnout. However, did you know that 98% of HR professionals are burned out? As HR professionals, we recognize employee burnout by implementing initiatives to combat the problem. But how often do we recognize and practice our own self-care? I read somewhere once that as HR people we need to put on our own oxygen mask before we can help others. Is there something you do for your own self-care? One great thing I do for myself is to connect with fellow HR people and use them as a support group! There are a lot of challenges out there in the HR world and there is always someone in my circle who has either experienced the same thing or a great tip to share! Our local SHRM chapter - NAHRA - meets every third Thursday of the month and has some very knowledgeable and compassionate members!
