KnowHR Recommendation: Add HumanMarkets to Your Daily Read

HumanMarkets, “the intersection of human resources and markets,” is up and running. And it’s off to a great start.

I’ve added HumanMarkets to my daily read. I’m anticipating some great stuff. The site is written by a senior HR leader who not only is a real pro, but a consummate businessperson. Combining HR and business isn’t an angle I’ve seen out there and the reason that I highly recommend adding the site to your list of leading HR material. (While you’re at it, leave a comment and say hello. Remember what it was like when you first started writing and people left comments? It just takes a second and it means a lot.)

Here’s a piece that I really liked titled, “That’s What You Are There For.” CLICK [tone]. It’s some killer advice about HR’s obligation. It ends with, “It’s been over 20 years since I made a decision that night. Some have been better than others - most importantly however, I have only a very few times, avoided making some decision.” The lead in is essential reading for all of us in the HR business.
