📍A thread my HR friends might want to bookmark.

I'm updating my #opensource resource library and thought I'd create a thread to share these resources with all of you in case they're helpful. #HRcommunity #SHRM #CultureFirst #PeopleGeek #TalentConnect #HRTechConf #Unleash 1/

Short thread with an update on the @RedefiningHR Cohort course I'm developing, in the spirit of #buildinpublic.

I had 105 applications for the first cohort. Here's some data on how that breaks down, what they want to learn, and who they want to learn from.

Highlight:

💼 60% were in the 5-15 years experience range

Why is it so hard for @SHRM to say #BlackLivesMatter? They’ve been bumbling through this is as badly and let the industry down during #Covid19.

Let me take a stab at what this message should be. 👇🏼 1/ Black lives matter. If you work in the field of HR, it is vital to embrace these words. You are on the front lines of ensuring our workplaces are built on equitable practices, and proactively support anti-racist policies and programs. We stand beside you in this effort. 2/

An Open Letter to @SHRM 2.0 🧵

If there's ever been an "all hands on deck" moment for the HR community, this is it.

I wanted to know how current @SHRM members felt about this. Monday I conducted a Twitter poll (results below) to gauge views on whether members would be upset that non-members could access these resources. 90% said no. #SHRM #coronavirushr

A message to the HR community: 🧵

There's much (understandable) stress in the HR community around #coronavirus #covid19. Our employees are stressed. Our leaders are looking to us for guidance. We're looking to each other - and we're helping. Here are some things we can do:

1/
We haven't experienced a global pandemic like this so there's no clear response playbook. We're (individually & collectively) building as we go. That why tools like the #OpenSource @googledocs on #Coronavirus comms are so important now.
