Announcing the Launch of HRM Today

June 17, 2008 · Filed Under Current Events 

Today marks a new beginning. A revolution. A change in everything you’ve ever though. A brand new…

Sorry, I was channeling Steve Jobs there.

HRMToday.com, a new blog specifically aimed at Human Resources professionals, launches today. And since I really suck at doing press type releases, I’ll just go ahead and do this on the fly.

“But hey Lance, don’t you already have an HR blog?”

Yes I do but HRM Today is different and not just “different as in the same thing but instead of being painted red, it is painted crimson.”

  1. In case you haven’t noticed, YourHRGuy.com was really designed as a resource for job seekers and employees to understand HR. The underlying assumption is that people are interested in knowing a perspective from the HR side. Generally that is the case for a majority of readers.
  2. In that time though, I’ve been very lucky to pick up loyal readership from HR professionals all over the world. I throw these people a bone once in a while talking about issues that are near and dear to our collective hearts.
  3. I wanted a place that speaks to those professionals exclusively and also allows other HR professionals to either cross-promote their HR focused content or use it as a blog for themselves (even anonymously if they like).

So yes, different in that content will be HR focused and that it will be open to anyone who wants to promote their own HR focused content (either through cross-posting or using it as a blog). The only restrictions I want is that the content actually be HR focused, no spam at all and minimal jargon. That last one is only a preference though.

Head over to HRMToday.com and check it out. If you are interested in contributing, sign up and if you are interested in watching the community grow, you can subscribe to the RSS feed or get once daily e-mail updates.

Check out HRM Today for the latest in the HR blogosphere.

    • Kennedy Expo: Peter Weddle
      I sat in a chair that was reserved for a speaker to sign copies of his book. Turns out I have no manners and I just assume that an empty seat is mine to take. The speaker was gracious and introduced himself as Peter Weddle. When I introduced myself, he said, “I’ve heard of your blog.” Oh [...]

    • Kennedy Expo: The Cyber Lounge & Politics
      I’m hanging out in the cyber lounge with Maren Hogan and Sarah White. Sarah just gave an interesting perspective on work ethics in America. I won’t paraphrase her very passionate argument, but I wonder: Do some Americans lack a worth ethic? How many people do you know who try to buck the system and take advantage of federal [...]

    • Q: How do I work with people who don’t like me?
      A: Ha! Trick title. People who don’t like you don’t work with you. They tolerate you. Out of a lack of options. Until a better option comes along. In fact, the only thing that keeps them engaged with you is the fact that—while unlikable—you’re at least predictable, and they’ve figured out how to get what they need from [...]
