Women Of HR

by Lois Melbourne

womenofhrThere is a new property on the internet that is going to really add a wonderful voice to the human resource community. The Women of HR is the brain child of a wonderful group of women and a weekend outing in Chicago. These are some of the greatest movers and shakers in the HR Social Media space, in addition to being professional everyday in furthering the human resource profession.

I will be contributing to the Women of HR blog and community, as well. Why would I add another commitment? There are several reasons:

  • The team on this project is amazing, and I love being a part of an amazing team.
  • There are topics that I like to share that don’t fit the Aquire purpose for a blog on this site; topics that cover work or life from the perspective of a CEO/Mom/Wife/Woman.
  • I want to help gather more HR pros together to be part of the greater discussion.

This should be fun!

At the unveiling of the Women Of HR on the hot talk radio show, HR Happy Hour,  the question came up, “what is a woman’s issue that we might discuss on this site?” I offered up that maybe the distinction is more a matter of the perspective of women then specifically female exclusive issues. When I read the contributors blogs, I learn a lot about HR and about life. I encourage you to find some of these blogs and add them to your RSS feeder for regular reading. I believe you’ll be very pleased.

  1. Lois, I am thrilled that you are contributing to Women of HR and so appreciate the distinction you made on HR Happy Hour and above – a perspective on issues vs issues themselves. Let the fun begin!
