Learning Fun in Adulthood

By
I wrote this post last year but just now getting a chance to actually finalize and publish it.
This past week I had the privilege of speaking at a very well attended annual women's conference sponsored by the Illinois Women in Leadership. A group I have been a member of before but have not been available to attend meetings over the past several years especially since I took on leadership roles at the state and national level of SHRM. 



The program covered several adult learning principles, strategies and tips not to mention a little fun for the attendees who had a chance to "create" what IWIL meant to them using PlayDoh. Since I shared a blog series I wrote a couple years ago while working on my Master Online Teaching Certificate during the program, I thought I would write a post that allowed participants to find the entire series called "Teaching with Technology" all in one place.    

While some of the technology mentioned in this series of almost a dozen posts may have been updated or replaced since I wrote the series, I still use a majority today. If anyone reading this post has additional suggestions, please feel free to comment on this post and share the love.

55 Active Job Search Sites (Updated 7/19)

I had a company encouraging me to update this list over the last couple of months.  Since they focus on veteran hiring and I am a veteran supporting other veterans I am happy to add the following to this original posting from 2017. Silent Professionals is a free veteran recruitment service. Their differentiating factor is that they focus on a very specific subset of veteran employment which is the combat arms veteran. Their site is much more than just a job board because they actually provide a service behind it which is all free to the veteran. As combat veterans themselves, with a vast amount of experience in the private security sector, they are able to use that experience and influence within the industry to act as trusted advocates for the veteran candidate. They boast an incredible 84% job placement success rate for candidates that they recommend to employers. One of the reasons they're able to do that is because of their focus on jobs for combat veterans who are seek...

ISERRA Requires Public Employers to PAY for Military Leave

By
It is important for public employers to understand the Illinois Service Member Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (ISERRA) and how it impacts their obligation to employees who are on a military leave of absence.   ISERRA consolidated the state’s Military Leave of Absence Act, Public Employee Armed Services Rights Act, Municipal Employees Military Active Duty Act, and the Local Government Employee Benefits Continuation Act.   Much of ISSERA is modeled after the federal Uniformed Serivces Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USSERA) .   However, there are important differences. Who Is Protected? All members of the Armed Forces whether active duty, inactive duty or reserve, including the National Guard when performing state duty. All members of Military Auxiliary Radio System, United States Coast Guard Reserve, Civil Air Patrol and the Merchant Marines when performing official duties in support of an emergency. Members who are released from military...

By
As a female entrepreneur, I often think about those who supported me along the way to a now 20 year successful business venture. That's why I like to give back and help other women working to have a long entrepreneurial career as well. Meet Amy Denney who is a locally owned small business owner focusing on helping others. She feels strongly that HR professionals can include her services in their overall employee assistance programs. Help me help her by giving the following a read from this "guest blogger". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let’s talk about substituting holistic solutions for traditional EAPs By Amy Denney There’s a tragedy in Employee Assistance Programs currently: they are underutilized AND they rarely even do what they promise. This wellness model is intended to give employees access to needed support in the midst of personal life issues and crises. The EAP is often the...
