I’m running a 25 person creative workshop next week that’s now going digital. Any guidance on ways to spice things up on a digital call. What works and what hasn’t? breakout sessions? cameras on?...

Cameras on 100%. And flipping through stupid virtual backgrounds while in a meeting seems to work as a way to break any awkward silences with a bunch of faces sitting awkwardly in squares on a screen.

Yes! I agree. Maybe I can send out some different backgrounds for people to utilize with different graphics/messaging?!

I had my PHR back in early 2000, then made a career change to a paramedic (I know, right). I called SHRM and they said I'm eligible to test again even though I only currently have 1.5 yrs of HR.

I purchased the online study guide and it seems that HR has gone in a completely different direction - more operations related than employee relations etc.

Did anyone find this online training to be helpful? I test in July, so any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks - lauren

My manager has lost confidence in me. On occasions when there’s been a problem he overreacts and blames me instead of guiding me. He has sent messages where he overreacts and says mean things, but then on calls he is nice and says it’s not my fault… I have lost self-confidence and get anxious on sundays thinking about the week ahead… Should I just quit or do you think it’s something that can be resolved? he might be thinking about terminating me since he’s been taking away my direct reports

Fighting Salary Compression

I have 15+ years vesting in current company/ position, 25 years over all. I love my job!
But for the past 3 years I’m told that my yearly annual increases will be decreased due to reaching a salary ceiling. 2% rate increases barely kept pace with rate of living, especially after this years 8-12% inflation increase. Also, new employees are now being hired at a higher rate.

Anyone else experience this issue? How and what is the best course of action to address?

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.
