In today’s fast-paced world of technology and automation, it’s easy to assume that human interaction is becoming less relevant.

Kim Slowik, a seasoned talent acquisition professional, emphasizes the importance of genuine connections in her conversation with Jennifer Dole on the HR Tech Chat podcast.

There are several versions of the well-known HCM Maturity Model, a framework for understanding and pinpointing where HR departments are in their evolution and where they can eventually be, from purely operational to strategic.

SHRM – Managers Can Help Employees Hone Critical Soft Skills

A worker’s gossiping was creating problems among team members. Neither the first-time manager nor the group’s supervisor knew quite how to correct the behavior that was causing distrust among co-workers.
