The biggest complaint I have against the HR community is that we don’t experiment as often as we should. There aren’t enough questions asked and there just isn’t enough doubt. If you’ve been here long, you know how often I rant about the need to move away from the ‘there’s nothing new under the sun’ … Continue reading All about ‘Experiments’
I am not the first to write about it. Inc.com and then a few others have already raved about Elon Musk’s TED talk. However, you know me. I am still going to go ahead and talk about it especially since he makes a very valid point (as he always does). For a few weeks now, … Continue reading Not inevitable

What was even more surprising is that human resource professionals are well aware of how technology can change lives, yet they shy away from implementation. The day began with Jason Averbook … Continue reading SHRM Tech Conference 2016 – Day 1, India
