I’m not sure what’s happening where you live but here in south Louisiana we’re getting set for the final fairs/carnivals/festivals of the summer…you know, before we move into the tons of fairs/carnivals/festivals we have in autumn. Yeah – we do tend to celebrate all year here.
But so does the Carnival of HR!
I’m pleased to be hosting this week’s Carnival because, in my estimation, it’s an event where we continuously celebrate all that is good about our HR community; it’s a combination one-stop-resource of fabulous content from the HR blogosphere and a social gathering. Every two weeks we gather together, share with each other and our readers (the phrase “in case you missed it” comes to mind), and encourage each other by linking, retweeting and promoting what we do.
There’s no need to toss down a sawbuck to play the golf ball/goldfish game, there will be no peer pressure to get on the rickety roller coaster, and I promise you won’t have to run the gauntlet of carnies carnival hucksters. Just sit back – enjoy the waning days of summer – and read some super posts that have been submitted. To get us rolling, I encourage you to start with these two posts that sum up what the carnival – and this community – is all about:
