HR Blogosphere Update [16/7/2009]
July 15, 2009 | 6:03 PMBeing a committed HRO firm, we try as and when we get time, to keep an eye on the pulse of what’s new and what people are thinking in the online sphere of human resources. Here are some of the articles that caught our eye during the past few weeks; not to say the others were in any way less fascinating… the fact is that it’s a sea out there, and it’s overflowing with knowledge, information and perspectives. We can only get you glimpses of what people are thinking, it’s you who has to take the plunge; hope you enjoy the update!
