HR Happy Hour - Episode 13 - The Work/Life Show Oct 09, 2009

Show notes

Thursday, October 8, 2009 - 8PM ET This week the HR Happy Hour takes on the topic of Work/Life balance. What does it mean, in a recession does it make sense to worry about it, is the nature of work changing to fundamentally alter the concepts of 'work' and 'leisure'. Should organizations scrap the office and time clock altogether and just manage for results. Joining Shauna Moerke and I are Leanne Chase of Career Life Connection, Chris Ferdinandi of RenegadeHR and hopefully some special guests for what will be a fun and informative hour.

Show notes

Thursday, September 10 - 8PM EDT Due to a scheduling conflict, the 'HR and Small Business' show scheduled for September 11, has been postponed and will be re-scheduled. In its place, Shauna and I will open up the Happy Hour phones, and take calls on pretty much any topic, HR Blogging transparency, in-process and upcoming HR and Recruiting conferences, or who is going to win the Super Bowl. Also, we are going to try out Thursday night for the show for the first time. So instead of competing with folks' weekend plans, we will just try and compete with the start of NFL season!

What are the connections between Sports and HR and Talent Management? Is managing superstar employees at all like managing superstar athletes?

Show notes

Join Shauna Moerke, the HR Minion and I for a fun show that was inspired by some Tweets with Kelly Mitton, Jen Wojcik and others. Basically, is HR truly welcoming as a profession to those folks that look and act a bit 'different'? Are tattoos and purple hair welcome in HR? Does HR need to do more to embrace individuality and creativity in the workplace? Do visible tattoos give you a bad impression of a job candidate? Scheduled to appear are Jen Wojcik, Kelly Mitton, Lynn Ellsberry and who knows what other funky haired HR pros.
