Annual Review of Blogging Here & Elsewhere

By
This year was one of the slowest blogging years I have had due to growing consulting business, Rogers HR Consulting, on the side while maintaining my full time job.  I appreciate the independent consultants I work with to keep the consulting work going while I teach.  Of course, I review everything that goes out the door which is why my blogging time has reduced significantly over the last few years.

So to help the blog stay alive and to educate others I had a couple guest posts by Kevin Epley who shared a great topic called Profanity in the Workplace in November.

I wrote a summary of a presentation I did for the Women Entrepreneurs called What's Hot in HR? in September.  I did a post after having several personal conflict related issues in my own family post my mother's passing and did some training on the topic for a client called 10 Tips for Managing Conflict at Work or Home in May.  Also, in May, I posted a quick link to the DOL site related to Overtime Rule Published. Of course, we all know now that it got overturned or at least put on hold by a judge in Texas.  We will see what happens with it this year.  I know SHRM has been testifying on behalf of our profession lately on the topic.

I took my conflict post and shared as a regular author/blogger on Women of HR: Life's Too Short to Live With Conflict and author/blogger on Talent Culture using a similar name: 10 Quick Tips For Conflict Management.

And that is literally it except for last years summary: Highlights from 2015.  So if any of my friends would like to guest post this coming year, just let me know.  I hope to get more blogging out this year now that my brothers drunk driver has been put away for leaving the scene of an incident where a death occurred.  The family finally has some closure in the case which is about to be two years old in just a few days.  

God Bless & Thanks for the follows!

55 Active Job Search Sites (Updated 7/19)

By
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...
