Viva Las Vegas

I was back in the office yesterday after attending the SHRM Annual Conference. If you didn’t make the trip to Las Vegas this year, you missed a great experience. The sessions were excellent, the vendors were great and the networking was incredible. And I think that makes three great host cities in a row (New […]

What’s the Reason?

What can I say? I have been spoiled. For as long as I can remember, my SHRM membership has cost $160 per year. However, we were recently notified that SHRM decided to raise that to $180 per year.

Now, in one breath, that’s still very low compared to many other organizations. However, in another breath, […]

Layoff Assistance

Harry Dahlstrom of Dalhstrom & Company wrote and published a guide which I found to be very informative. It’s called “Surviving a Layoff – Your Guide to a Soft Landing and a Smooth Re-entry.” So I decided to give Dahlstrom a free plug.

As an HR Professional, I will tell you that this book is […]

Here’s an interesting article I came across today. It was published by MSN Careers yesterday.

It’s called “10 Things to Leave Off […]

Calling Unemployment

Don’t pay an […]

GINA

Have you heard of GINA? If not, read up…

GINA is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. The law went into effect on November 21, 2009.

Progressive Business Compliance posted this update today:

“On May 21, 2008, Former President George W. Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of 2008 into law. GINA […]

How to Not Get Fired

MSN Careers featured a very interesting article today. It was called “10 Things That Will Get You Fired.”

Kate Lorenz, CareerBuilder.com Editor, was the author. You can view her blog here.

And you can view the list of 10 things here. To be honest, I think I’ve fired somebody at least once for every single […]

We’re Back

We apologize for not updating this site sooner. We run HR Whiz on the side of our day jobs and October was just a mess – for lack of a better term.

But the good news is that we’re back with a vengeance and we’ll be updating this site more regularly moving forward.

Thank you […]
