The Coalition released its IR policy today and, according to leading IR/HR news service Workplace Express, it contains "a long list of changes but no real surprises".

Here are some quick tips that I try to use every day, which might help you take your blogging to…

Attending HRIZON this week I enjoyed the welcoming message of Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Diane Kerr, a descendant of the traditional owners of Melbourne.

The 14th World Human Resource Congress (HRIZON) is on in Melbourne this week, and I'm excited to be attending.

I'll be adding my coverage of the event to HR Daily from Thursday, but I'd love to see some HR Daily Community members blogging about the sessions here as well. Whether you just share a few quotes or write…

I've been writing about human resources for 12 years now. Although journalism differs from blogging in many ways, some writing principles apply across the board.

Here are my top tips for sharing memorable blog posts on the HR Daily Community (and elsewhere).…

This week I gave a conference presentation on the topic of media pitches, specifically in relation to sharing stories with an HR audience. As I said at the time, I only realised during my preparation that the workings of a newsroom are quite mysterious to an outsider, and many of you who would like to be…

Since launching HR Daily in 2008, we've had hundreds of requests from HR professionals and employers to provide a channel through which they can connect. Finally, after months of testing and fine tuning, we're almost ready to go.

Hi all, and welcome to our new members.

We now have nearly 100 blog posts on HR Daily Community, so I'd like to thank each of you who has contributed in the nearly three months that we've been up and running.

To those of you who haven't posted…

The rate of blogging on the HR Daily Community has slowed a little this week, so I thought I'd share some stats that might inspire you to get writing!

In the six weeks since our launch, the Community has had nearly 10,000 visits, and 18,000 page views, 15,000 of which were individual blog posts.…
