Welcome to my first Carnival of HR. I am pleased to host this time with a special December theme: Let’s Celebrate your proudest achievement in HR. As HR people, there are a lot of things we take for granted when we do them, but that we would single out if one of our employees would…
Now that we are getting close to 2013, we are bombarded with the latest trends in HR and all the things we have to do to make HR even better than before. But if we always focus on the future, and the next improvement, we have no time to enjoy what we’ve accomplished so far….
It’s almost 2013, and the first trend papers have been published. 2012 was a busy year for HR, with many developments in the HRTech space.
