COMMENTARY: The HR Capitalist
What Your Personal Board of Directors Wants HR to Know … and Do
I know, I know. You’re tired of hearing about “how to get to the table” as an HR pro. By this time, you know the drill. An article comes out bashing the HR function, everybody reacts to it, and then we all go back to the steel mills and the software factories to get on with our lives.


COMMUNITY CENTER FORUMS | More
Connect with other HR professionals. Ask questions and exchange ideas—peer support is an excellent resource.

First-Time HR Manager

A member writes: "In another week I will be heading up the HR department of a nonprofit organization. While I have managerial experience, I don’t have HR experience. I do have a degree in HR, and will be starting the second degree this fall. Problem is, I’m not sure where to start. This department is new to the company as well … so during the first couple of months what do I concentrate on? Where do I begin?"
