There is a lot of talent and advice available on the internet. Early on, I went searching for some of the best HR and non-HR blogs for a couple of reasons:

  1. Reading and thinking about different HR perspectives is part of my personal development and growth
  2. It is important to keep abreast of best practices and thought leadership on key HR topics
  3. The learning curve about being a successful online HR blogger was steep – I had a lot to learn!

Recently, I decided to prune my first reading recommendations that was  developed a few years ago – some of the authors no longer keep up their blogs or they were dropped for other reasons.
