“People Still Matter” – #HRTechConf 2017           

  The 2017 edition of the HR Technology Conference wrapped up about a week and a half ago, and other than transitioning back to my real world day-to-day responsibilities, I’ve also spent the time since then processing what I heard and what I learned.  When I attend a conference, I usually like to hold off […]

The Countdown is On For #WorkHuman 2017
