    #SHRM14 Report: Evolution of People Management and the Worker

    Five, 10, or 20 years ago, would we have been able to predict the work, worker and workplace we have today? Were we even thinking or talking about big data a decade or two ago? Possibly so, but not necessarily in the context of how it pertains to the dramatic ways we can assess events…

    Sure, only 47% of the American workforce over the age of 16 are women (a gender disparity that’s been gradually closing over the past decade), but you wouldn’t know that from the looks of your average HR department. There’s a reason we often refer to the profession, collectively, as HR ladies (see left, coming soon in…
