Another Day in the HR Field

I am often contacted about what I speak on and since I rewrite a new paragraph or two every time, I thought I would document it here for those who have interest. I cover any topic related to management and especially as it relates to employees via human resources management.  You can see some topics listed  on my website at www.rogershr.com or blogsite https://donnarogershr.blogspot.com/ .  The most recent topics include: Reasonable Suspicion Empathy in the Workplace Conducting a Workplace Investigation The Bermuda Triangle of HR: FMLA, WC, & ADA Harassment & Discrimination HR Issues or What’s Hot in HR Now Getting What You Want in the Workplace Managing Workplace Conflict I am working on preparing one on Bereavement Leave that I will deliver in February at the 2nd annual OHSHRM HR Cruise.  I have spoken recently for Women Entrepreneurs,  General Federation for Women’s Club and Women in Communications linked above.  I tailor...

Annually, I am required to do a review of my work for submission to the college review board.  Blogging is just an add on because the academic world does not recognize blogging as a legit contribution to the profession as does most of the media.  Regardless, it takes time and based on feedback I have received on occasion it helps people now and then.  So here is a list of my blog posts written for five different sites ( Talent Culture , Women of HR , IL SHRM , IL Chamber to include this one previously known as DonnaRogersHR) in 2013. 2013 Blog List Location  Date  Title  Women of HR 17-Jan-13 SHRM Conference Highlight: Meet the Illinois State Council of SHRM  Donna Rogers HR  1-Feb-13 Where Does Time Go?

I have had the pleasure of knowing, Joe & Jason, from  Talent Anarchy for almost a year now.  They are unique, talented and genuine.  They keynoted at our conference last year and the reviews were so magnificent that we are proud to bring them back again by way of "popular demand".  Take a couple minutes to watch the following videos and I know you will agree!!! http://youtu.be/7wcqprMCAS4 http://youtu.be/2OIzXwolyWs The ILSHRM conference will be August 6 & 7 in Oakbrook, Illinois.  I hope you will consider joining us and flying your "HR Freak Flag with us!"

Having gone to this conference for about a decade, I hope the information shared on the show and this blog post can help at least one attendee. On the show I talked about networking with other leaders and with staff as well as taking in a night tour of DC id time allows. Additional ideas for attendees are: *Sign up for SHRM12 in Atlanta and get your leadership buddies to go with you to schedule just the right hotel and save yourself a bunch of emails trying to coordinate when your back in the office. *Think about or jot down some questions you have for other chapter leaders or SHRM staff and ask them in the breakouts or during the breaks. *If your a program or conference chair check out the speakers as a possibility for your chapter or state council.
