Upcoming HR Happy Hour Shows
Steve
Shauna Moerke, the HR Minion and I are getting back into the ring, with more HR Happy Hour shows on Blog Talk Radio.
We have decided an 'every other week' schedule seems to work out the best for everyone, so look for the HR Happy Hour shows every second Friday. We are mixing up the start times a bit, still trying to figure out the best one, so keep an eye out for the scheduled start time for that particular show.
One final note, you can listen to the show live at the Blog Talk Radio page, or you can use the listener line, 646-378-1086, to hear the show via the phone, and you can come on the air by calling in to that number and pressing '1' on your phone and I will get you on the air.
Here is what is coming up on the the HR Happy Hour:
Episode 6 - July 31, 2009 - 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT 'The HRevolution' - An open forum to chat about ideas for the very first HR Blog Conference. Where should the conference be held? What topics and sessions are you interested in? Would you actually attend? Set to appear are conference founders Trish McFarlane, Ben Eubanks and more.
Episode 7 - August 14, 2009 - 6 PM EDT, 3 PM PDT' Funky Hair, Tattoos, and HR Diversity' - This show was inspired by some Tweets with Kelly Mitton, Jen Wojcik and others. Basically, is HR truly welcoming as a profession to those folks that look and act a bit 'different'. Are tattoos and purple hair welcome in HR? Does HR need to do more to embrace individuality and creativity in the workplace? Do visible tattoos give you a bad impression of a job candidate? Scheduled to appear are Jen Wojcik, Kelly Mitton, Lynn Ellsberry and who knows what other funky haired HR pros.
Episode 8 - August 28, 2009 - 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT 'HR and Sports' - What are the connections between Sports and HR and Talent Management? Is managing superstar employees at all like managing superstar athletes? What can coaching Little League baseball tell you about management? Are my beloved Jets going to get the Super Bowl? Slated to appear Tracy Tran, Todd Kmiec, Lance Haun and Kris Dunn.
Episode 9 - September 11, 2009 - 6 PM EDT, 3 PM PDT 'HR Issues for the Small Business' - We'll talk about small business and the various HR-related challenges in a small organization. How can a small business compete effectively with the giants in Talent Acquisition and in building an employer brand? Are you a 'one-person' HR organization? How do you keep it all in balance? Set to appear is Charee Kilmek and a host of other HR Professionals.
So that is the current rundown, we have some more thoughts for even more future shows, including a really fun 'HR Horror Stories' show we will do closer to Halloween.
If you have any suggestions for show topics, want to come on as a guest, or have someone you think would make a great guest, drop me a comment, send Shauna or I an e-mail, or shout it out on Twitter using the #HRHappyHour hashtag.
Thanks everyone who supports the show by listening, participating, and tweeting. The response to these shows has been surprisingly terrific, and as long as the HR community seems interested, we will keep doing them.

I am so excited to see this lineup! Each episode sounds fun and interesting and you've got a lot of HR power hitters!!
Thanks Trish! I appreciate the comments and for your support of the show on Twitter as well. I look forward to your appearance next week and to a great discussion on the HRevolution.
I agree with Trish, you have a great line-up! I'm especially looking forward to Episode 7 because I happen to work with pretty funky group, both in and out of the HR department.
Great topics. I'm looking forward to the 'HR Issues for the Small Business'. Will you be covering anything on the topic of advertising? More specifically online advertising. That would be great seeing as how many businesses are shifting their focus online to reduce advertising expenses.
@ccc - Thanks for the comments, and I also think that will be a fun show, try to call in if you can.
@mlgreen8752 - The small business show will likely discuss how small business can utilize online resources in finding and attracting candidates for job openings, but not really on marketing or advertising in the traditional sense. Thanks for your question.
What can Twitter actually do for my business?
