Start your new year with the HR Carnival!

Welcome back everyone. Well you might still be on holidays but I’m back to work today and back blogging to ease you into the new work year.

I thought I might start off with the HR Carnival as it’s something I’d like to get more involved with in 2010 (sounds like a New Years resolution doesn’t it?).

In case you haven’t heard of HR Carnival before; started by the Evil HR Lady its an awesome collection of posts from those in the HR Community from around the world (including the UK, U.S.A. and of course- Australia!).

Every two weeks you can read the posts online, or even contribute. Each carnival is hosted by a different HR Super star.

The most recent HR Carnival is being hosted by Bill Boorman at The Recruiting Unblog. This one is particularly worth having a look into because it asks the HR Community to upload a one minute video introducing themselves and to talk about what 2010 holds for them.

If you are already on twitter, you may already have heard of some of these people so its a great opportunity to put a face to the name.

Some special mentions include Laurie Ruettimann (from PunkRockHR), Michael Long (The Red Recruiter) and Kelly Mitton (tHRyving), Dan Nuroo (from saysomethingdan in Australia), Steve Boese (host of #HRHappyHour), and Jessica Lee (Editor Fistful of Talent).

So what do I think I’ll be spending my time on in 2010? Well here’s my video.

Happy HR Carnival and welcome to 2010!
