Building Workplaces That Work

We wanted to share with you a unique resource on the Internet for HR professionals.

It’s a free network that allows you to post Human Resource related questions and events on a message board.  The “HR Net” has over 3,300 people who can read your posting and answer it.  There are two things that make this resource different than listservs and chat rooms you see out on the net.

One difference is that is not a listserv.  You get one e-mail a week to let you know what’s new to the site and you can post/read/answer on your schedule.  You won’t get buried with those “reply all” messages that may give you either insight or indigestion.

The second difference is that each week the facilitator, Steve Browne, adds a creative touch to remind people that working with people should be fun.  Steve hired us to speak for the Greater Cincinnati HR Association a couple of years ago, and has become a good friend and supporter ever since. He’s the Director of Human Resources at LaRosa’s, Inc. in Cincinnati. Each week Steve writes an HR-related song parody (think Weird Al), and it’ll definitely give you a good laugh!

If you’d like to have this resource, just e-mail Steve at sbrowne@larosas.com and he’ll add you.  We’re  “Netters” as he calls us all, and we look forward to our HR Net every week.

We’d recommend that you get connected to this unique resource in the world of HR.  We’re sure you’ll enjoy it!
