Do I have your attention? Good, because we are in the mist of an HR revolution. It’s either join up, or be left in the dust.

What do I mean by this?

Well, gone are the days of Human Resources representing the company’s interests solely. The new age HR Manager is an inclusive individual, serving the collective needs of both employer and employee. In the new “collaborative” workplace, an HR Manager wears many more hats than in years past.

It can be debated as to whether this is a result of a disgruntled workforce staging a collective mutiny, or the evolution of HR professionals. Either way, the time has come.

Join me on the other side.

HR is no longer just the “Personnel Department”, but a major player when it comes to shaping the vision and direction of the company. This site is all about coming together to share best practices and elevate each other and our respective companies to new heights. We’ll talk, laugh and even vent on occasion, but it will always be a stepping stone to improvement.

To be successful stewards of the company, we have to educate ourselves and evolve with the workforce, or we will essentially become obsolete. We should know how that feels. I’m sure we all have seen the employee who is stuck in “how we used to do it”, unable to adapt to any hint of change. So much so, that they become redundant and lose their value as a member of the team.

Don’t let that be you.

I hope you enjoy your stay @ YoungHRManager.com

Chime in.
