This week on the HR Happy Hour Show we dive into the New Year, at least in the USA, thinking quite a bit about politics. The campaign for President is in full swing, debates, press conferences, and TV ads are everywhere, and certainly 2012 is shaping up to be a very interesting year.

Do you care about the political campaigns? Do they impact your work in HR and effect your organizations? Do you stay away from talking about 'real' politics at work and keep the focus on office politics? Can we learn anything from savvy politicians to help us navigate our own careers?

We will have open lines this week on the show to talk politics, office politics, and whatever else 2012 has in store for you, for HR, and in your careers.

Joining me on the show will be special guest Trish McFarlane, from HR Ringleader andHRevolution who will also be updating us on what is happening with her projects and ventures, as well as offering some insight on HR leadership challenges for 2012.

It should be a fun show and I hope you can join us!

The 'Occupy' protests have seemingly taken root beyond their humble start in NYC and protesting against the perception of Wall St. greed and excess, and have begun to morph into something bigger, more fundamental, and potentially more meaningful that anyone originally would have thought.

What do these protests have to do with Human Resources and the workforce? Well, plenty - shrinking job prospects and stagnant wage growth for the '99%' are a key element in these protests. Recent graduates faced with boatloads of student loan debt and often bleak job and career prospects seem to make up an important 'Occupy' cohort.

But at the same time, many people, including HR pros feel like the Occupiers are simply spoiled and feeling entitled. They want them to get out of the park and go get a job. But is it really that simple? Are we as talent professionals doing enough?

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show we are having an open forum for the HR and Talent community to share their views on the 'Occupy' movement, and hopefully to have some constructive dialogue on what we can all do to help turn things around.

So this is your chance, loyal HR Happy Hour listeners, to get off the backchannel for a minute and join the conversation on the show.

No guests, no specific agenda, no rules, no axe to grind - just an open discussion about the 'Occupy' movement, the lingering problems of unemployement and the stagnation of real income for most Americans, and the ways that organizations and HR professionals can make a difference for good.

It should be a fun show and I hope you will join us - and call in to have your voice and point of view on the Occupy movement heard.

This should be a wild, fun, and controversial show. You should listen.

Thanks Jason for taking the reins once again, and thanks Shauna for keeping the operation running smoothly (or what passes for smoothly on the show).
