Keep it in the Community

Resources for Humans is a safe space 
for HR leaders to ask questions and share their POV. 
These conversations should be kept within the confines of the community; 
no sharing with the outside world.

Actively Participate

The quality and usefulness of this community depends on you:

  • Ask questions
  • Answer questions
  • Engage in discourse
  • Keep the conversation to the right channel

The best policy is one message, one channel — avoid posting in multiple channels for more visibility (for everyone’s sake)!

We encourage you to help lead the conversation! This community is a forum to engage with other knowledgeable professionals — think of it as a place to discuss strategies, ask questions, share insights, provide mentorship, etc.
