Recently Acrolinx COO, Britta Mühlenberg, spoke with @HR Daily Advisor about how human resources professionals can connect the potential of employees to the success of an organization. Read more about how we can bridge this gap, and some of Britta’s personal philosophies, in her Faces of HR interview: https://bit.ly/4e2zP5X. #PeopleLeader #HumanResources #Workforce #EmployeeExperience

HR Professionals - Are you taking time to CHERISH our profession? You should. Here's why... Despite the issues we face as HR pros, HR is a noble calling. 🔶 It's a great way to make a living. 🔶 So stick out your chest & wear that badge proudly. 🔶 Don't let others stamp out your flame. What drives you should be your unwavering desire to... ...help your organization GET BETTER RESULTS THROUGH PEOPLE. That's why you were hired. This is why YOU get paid. This is how YOU make a difference. This is YOUR unique contribution to the organization you serve. For example: 👉 You help develop people strategies that make your business successful, which CREATES JOBS for many people. 👉 You ensure employees are rewarded fairly...enabling them to provide a life for their families they CAN BE PROUD OF. 👉 And you help provide a workplace that is engaging and productive & where talented people can thrive and ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS. -So embrace HR’s larger purpose. -Let this be your source of inspiration. -Not the haters of HR. Sorry, I'm NOT a member of the HR cynics club. I understand we have many challenges, demands & frustrations. But does every profession on the planet. So I enthusiastically embrace our profession as a great calling! Do YOU? Just asking for a friend. 🔶 With 4 months left, it's still time to make 2024 your best year yet. Stay inspired! Pep talk over.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I have joined the ACCES Employment HR Connections Program! 🎉 Today marks the end of week one. This program is a fantastic opportunity for me to deepen my understanding of Human Resources and connect with industry professionals. As I embark on this journey, I’m eager to learn more about talent management, employee engagement, and strategic HR practices. I can’t wait to share insights and experiences as I progress through the program. Looking forward to learn a lot more from Michelle Hagan,Michelle Allen, CHRP, CHRL and Aditika Mangalik . Here are my KEY learnings from week 1 - 1) The importance of having a crisp Elevator pitch. We often only get one chance to make an impression and a concise elevator pitch is the way to grab attention. 2) Networking is EVERYTHING. I realised how networking can open doors to a world of opportunities. 3) The value of Small Talk. The purpose of small talk is to see if the other person is open to engage. It also serves as a means to bond. Small talk may seem trivial but it helps build connections. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. I will be posting my key learnings for the coming weeks as well, so stay tuned :) #humanresources #recruitment #accesemplyoment

“We are the next generation of HR, and we aim to effect change. We want to do more than just be HR people. We want to create a positive impact on people's lives”. Meet  Linh Grethe, the founder of HR Collective — a community where passion meets purpose, and the future of work becomes cooler. In a Community Talk with Maria Bakatsiuk, founder of Maramio, she shared insights about the challenges behind the scenes, the non-traditional approach to community building, and the power of good karma. Here are a few takeaways from the interview: — We are more than just a social club. We are an HR and recruiting education platform with events, conferences, webinars, and a lot of content.  — I believe that building genuine connections is key. Focus on doing good, putting good vibes out there, and the good karma will come back to you tenfold. — Don't overthink it, just jump in and get started. Think of yourself as a North Star. With a strong sense of purpose, it's easier to attract and retain members. Just do it, and do it with passion and vision.   Check the full version in our blog [find link in the comments!]
