That’s because the value HR provides has been especially visible – and critical – since the beginning of the pandemic. Hiring, retention and employee engagement were all even more challenging than usual because of the many factors at play.

A few years ago, I saw a weakness in my outdoor skills that needed to be rectified: I had not camped alone.

It was four years ago, and yet I recall not only the book I was reading ( Robinson Crusoe ) but where I was in it, the howling wind lashing at my tent, even the color of the leaves when I woke up (vibrant

To me, at least, one of the most interesting aspects of our human psyche is the ability to recognize faults in other people that we don’t see in ourselves. So I was grateful last week when a friend texted to ask me if I was aware some of my recent actions could be seen as prideful. I had shown up late to a meeting and thought nothing of it, but the more I considered it, the more I realized I should have done a much better job apologizing, and most importantly, to be on time.
