Another Day in the HR Field

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?

It can be used in class to poll students about their opinion regarding a specific topic. For example, I might ask "How many of you have had a lousy manager?" (no really I would ask that) and then we could see the results and discuss why that might be. Usually the brown nose answer (just kidding) would be "because they have not taken your Organzational Behavior class Ms. Rogers".
