    #UltiConnect 2018: AI Means HR Can Be More Human

      This week I spent some time at the Ultimate Connections conference in Las Vegas with the team from Ultimate Software (Twitter stream here). There were tons of product updates and great sessions, but one of the biggest takeaways for me was around AI and what it takes to build a great workplace. During a…

  • Want to Meet in 2018?

    As the year winds down one of the things I’m spending time on is scheduling out my 2018 year.

  • The Evolution of HRevolution

    This will be a long post and possibly only of interest to those who attended or follow the HRevolution happenings. If you think this will not be interesting or applicable to you, I’d read some before you bail. :-) And this certainly won’t be the last thing I share, either. As with past years, the…
