I know, clowns are scary.  But put your fears aside and embrace the laurels of the “HR Carnival“, a Bedouin blog post that summarizes all the best stories and opinions of over 20 of the best HR bloggers in the world.  Today’s post is #35 in the series and is hosted by Jon Ingham of Strategic Dynamics Consultancy Services in the UK.

There is a lot of great stuff in Jon’s summation, with a main topical thrust on HR bloggers who address the “sexiness” (or lack thereof) of HR:

“The need for HR to become more sexy is explained by Jessica Lee at Fistful of Talent. Jessica lists a number of areas in which development could make us sexier, for example by making more investment in social media. And helping up us gain a better understanding of this area are Larry Dunivan at Perceptive HR Technology, commenting on an earlier post by Jason Corsello, and Janet Walsh at Strategic Thinking.

Still confused by what sexy HR means? Well, some good examples of definitely not sexy HR are provided by HR Wench and Laurie Ruettimann at Team Building is for Suckers and some suggestions for being sexy in the downturn are offered by Frank Roche at KnowHR.”

I’d suggest you take some time to check out some of the links and other HR bloggers.  These are some of the knowledgeable, perceptive, insightful and even grumpy HR professionals producing interesting content on a regular basis.

Let’s keep the conversation going.
