What is upstartHR?
upstartHR is about being bold. It’s about lighting a fire under HR professionals everywhere to get them in the game. While I try to focus on new professionals (using my unique perspective), just about everything that is posted here is helpful to both entry level HR and seasoned veterans.
I love just about everything about HR, and while it’s not my only love, it’s certainly something that I enjoy immensely. Want to know more about the guy behind this thing? Just who is that Ben Eubanks guy anyway?
My goal for upstartHR is to become a place for new human resources professionals to learn about the profession from someone who is doing the same. It’s a place for:
-
Experienced pros to see old ideas in a new light
-
Finding a kindred spirit who’s fighting the same battles
-
Advancing in your HR career to new heights
A word of warning: sometimes I like to be funny and have fun. Yes, that might be crazy for someone in the HR field, but it’s true. We deal with so much in our daily work that it would be crazy of me not to try to alleviate some of that stress with a bit of humor. Enjoy it. Tell others. Or else.
I’m different from a lot of HR bloggers. I was a blogger and writer before I ever started my first job in human resources. I enjoy writing, and I’m grateful for having the opportunity to blog about something I love. When I first started writing online, it was to help others with the HR certification exam. Now I write because I want to help a much broader audience.
Together, we can push HR to its rightful place as a strategic business leader.
