'Times are tough. We all feel it. Friends have been laid off. The economic climate is still uncertain and growth is slow. Too many companies have changed from dynamic places where people shared opinions to stagnant organizations where people are afraid to say what they really think. And the worst thing? The current business climate lacks basic compassion toward others.

I'm back from a two-day conference and I think I've discovered one of the reasons conferences are becoming a big waste for me--the homophily problem , otherwise known as "birds of a feather, flock together."

'RESOLVED: The HRCI Certification process for chapters is broken. Prologue The primary reasons HR professionals attend chapter meetings are networking and earning recertification credits toward their PHR or SPHR. People do enjoy talking with another and seeing what is going on in the HR world in their little neck of the woods. Yet, it is the quality of the session/topic being offered that is the primary driver of attendance.

'When pioneer social media tools such as Facebook and LinkedIn first became available, they weren’t all that ''social'' by today’s standards. Early adopters were people who wanted to network with others like themselves and you could only connect with friends or colleagues who accepted you. Blogs were more social because they enabled people outside of one''s immediate network to read, comment and join the discussion.

'Recently there’s been a fair amount of discussion around gender inequality when it comes to compensation. It turns out that on average, women earn as much as men with one notable exception: working moms, who on average earn less than men and childless women alike. Now they tell me. The disparity in earning power has as much to do with career choices as salary.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I recently started a new job at an amazing company. It’s a really open culture and it feels as if my opinion counts more here than it has before. My boss often asks for my feedback on how things are going. I have a ton of ideas that I think would be really helpful to my boss and our team. If I share too much feedback privately will my ideas simply make him or colleagues look good and keep me in the shadows?
