Speak the language of business

(from the HRH archives)

One of the recommendations to came out of HRevolution 2010 (via Laurie Ruettimann and Lance Haun) was that human resources professionals need to learn to speak the language of business, and stay abreast of business issues outside human resources.  This is good advice.  Here how you can get started!

There are a couple of ways to make consuming this material simpler.  Choose any or all of these ideas.  They will save you time, and make this information much more consumable!

  • Bookmark the locations to make them easier to find when you want to read them.
  • Use the RSS feed functionality of the sites to send page updates to a reader so that you can read articles all in one place.
  • Sign up for email alerts pertinent to the topics on a site that are useful or interesting to you.  Many of the sites will send a focused newsletter to your email inbox daily.

Mike, great post and resource. I use an add-on “Smart Bookmarks Bar” in Firefox, which enables all of the bookmarks to appear as icons, without the text. The add-on makes getting updated a 1 click function.
