I believe that it is the time for Human Resources. The time that many companies, people, employees, vendors and executives are seeing the need of the people who represent and lead the roles to add value to the overall effectiveness in the organization.
HR is showing up more and more. This is evidenced through publications like BNet.com and other national papers and blogs. Mashable is no exception and they have talked about Social Media in the workplace context for awhile.
I am happy we as a profession are getting more recognition. It is just more reinforcement for us as professionals. We have more tools and encouragement to be champions for our function as well as advertise that passion. I am very excited to be included in an article on Mashable.com. It was written by a great advocate for the field Sharlyn Lauby and includes some great contributors to the convo! I invite you to add to the discussion in the Mashable article entitied ”The Future of HR & SocialMedia” http://t.co/gv8xkyI - Leave your thoughts.
