It’s 2023! Can you believe it? It was wonderful covering all the live conferences in 2022! It’s now time to start planning which SHRM Conference you want to attend in 2023 so that you can include it in the budget. Make plans now to attend SHRM23 in Las Vegas June 11-14. The entertainment will be music legend, Janet Jackson, on Tuesday night. Get your tickets early! We are foodies and love visiting our favorite restaurants in Vegas including Giada’s Restaurant at The Cromwell and Bobby Flay’s restaurant at Caesar’s Palace. We can’t wait! (SHRM.org/SHRM23-HRP)
We were so honored in 2022 to partner with SHRM to bring you monthly previews of each chapter in Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.’s book, RESET, a Leader’s Guide to Work in an Age of Upheaval. In 2023 we are bringing you monthly excerpts from Talking Taboo: Making the Most of Polarizing Discussions at Work by SHRM’s Chief Knowledge Officer, Alexander Alonso. All HR professionals should read this book!
How fun it was to have my photo taken with SHRM President and CEO, Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. at the SHRM Georgia Conference in Savannah! Having Johnny on our January cover is the perfect way to kick off 2023! His book RESET was in the top three of the Wall Street Journal’s list of best-selling hardcover business books in 2022. Johnny is the leader of SHRM with over 300,000 members in 165 countries, the largest HR trade association in the world! Read all about his amazing accomplishments on Page 6.
