Sometimes HR Should Be About People…and Joy

Posted on Wednesday, July 2, 2008 by Frank Roche

Every once in a while in HR, we need to step back and remember that, like Soylent Green, it’s about the people. This video can remind us of that.

Read the back story, it’s well worth it. (One extra little thing…go to the YouTube site to see this and watch the High Res version. It’s even better.)

Support this post around the web. We would really appreciate it.

    I can’t thank you enough for that tip, mister. I sent the video to my tribe and actually urged them to read the backstory. In fact, the spot is embedded for a while at my blog… just because it’s so poignant.

    Sometimes HR is about knowing what people need and then giving it. I needed a smile today. You gave it. Well done. Thank you.

    Msinformation, I thought you’d like that one.

    Bill, you and I have similar sensibilities about this kind of stuff. I get kinda choked up when I see it.

    Such an inspiring story, I shared it with my “tribe” as well. It does a great job of reminding us all that HR is and should be about the people. Thanks for reminding us!
