When I decided it was time to find a new job, one of the thoughts in my mind was transition and how much notice to give. Tradition is 2 weeks right? And what can you really do in 2 weeks? For most professional level positions, 2 weeks is not enough time to review the position, …

As a huge proponent of employee development and education, you wouldn't think I would have a difficult time writing about it.

The candidates should now be banging on our door to work for our fantastic organization - after all, we've shared our culture, our values and we've shared a clear expectation for this role & know …
If you were at SHRM16, you had the opportunity to see Train. I hadn't planned on going to the concert, but my new friends convinced me that we needed to go. I didn't even realize how many of their songs I already knew -- I'm super bad at band names, just ask my husband who …
