#HRHappyHour LIVE Tonight - 'Happy HR New Year'

So are you back at it as we start 2013?

The holidays are over and you are (hopefully) back to work, back to dealing with all the drama, intrigue, and mystery of life in the modern workplace?

That description sort of makes work seem like a made for Lifetime original movie. Which would probably be more fun I suppose than real work.

Well my friends, as you start your 2013 HR and Talent journey, you are not alone. The HR Happy Hour Show is back with you as well, with our first live show of 2013, tonight, Thursday January 3rd at 8:00PM ET.

You can listen to the show live tonight at 8:00PM on the show page here - on the listener line 646-378-1086, or on the widget player below. Also, you can participate on the show backchannel on Twitter - hashtag #HRHappyHour.

Listen to internet radio with Steve Boese on Blog Talk Radio

And, if for some reason you miss the show live, you can always catch the replay on the show page, or on iTunes - just search the podcasts section for 'HR Happy Hour.'

Joining us to talk the about the upcoming year in HR will be long time friend of the show and HR executive Trish McFarlane.  We will be taking your calls about:

The biggest HR and Talent Management challenges you see for 2013

The buzzwords from 2012 that need to go away, and which ones really have legs, (I am looking right at you 'employee engagement').

What trends in HR and consumer technology might have the biggest impact on the workplace?

What industry events and conferences do you have on your calendar for 2013?

How do you plan to keep yourself educated, up to date, and challenged in 2013 - especially if you've been in HR for a long time?

These questions and more will be answered on the next episode of the HR Happy Hour Show - LIVE tonight at 8:00PM.

I hope you can join us tonight, else risk a disastrous 2013....
