You don’t need to read a blog from me this week. But you do need to read many HR blogs this week.

For the best-of-the-best and for some of the most heartwarming stories, here is an HR Carnival (a collection of blogs around the HR industry or by HR Professionals). This HR Carnival collection was created by Mike VanDervort at The Human Race Horses, and the reading is the best time you can have this week while still getting yourself thinking about many diverse yet timely and interesting human resource topics.

Just go to the HR Carnival of Global Giving.

You should also set your RSS reader to keep you up-to-date on posts from these great authors.

Cheers,
Lois
