HPA have just published a list of their top 10 UK based bloggers. As I have said before I'd really like to see this list grow in the UK but this is a pretty good start.1. http://strategic-hcm.blogspot.com/ (@joningham) We have lot of time for HR 2.0 guru, Jon Ingham, who’s been blogging on the changing state of HR for 3 years and has written the book Strategic Human Capital Management. He posts daily with opinion, interviews, reviews etc that relate to people creating tangible value in organisations. You might like Jon’s article on HR and social media.
2. http://mcarthursrant.blogspot.com/ As Personnel Today says… "It's hard not to love a blog with 'rant' in the title - even before you start reading...this is a well laid out and attractive blog, with good content and links to a wide range of blogs and sites elsewhere.” We agree. Always worth watching.
3. http://flipchartfairytales.wordpress.com/ HR blogs don’t get more straight talking than this. The author, ‘Rick’, calls his mix of personal, political and business-related posts ‘reflections on the world of work and organisational crap’. He freely admits he’s going to upset a few people but of course that’s what’s made his 3-year-old blog so popular. You want to start here.
4. http://www.xperthr.co.uk/blogs/employment-intelligence/ The Employment Intelligence blog is produced by XpertHR’s 20-strong editorial team, posting at least daily, and includes news, commentary and analysis on employment law, employee relations, recruitment, retention, reward and work organisation, focusing on the UK and EU. Blogged have rated it 7.5/10.
5. http://www.personneltoday.com/blogs/human-resources-guru/ For a large outfit, Personnel Today have a brilliantly human blogging voice with a wicked sense of humour. Written by the ‘Guru’, PT’s ‘notorious HR commentator and dispenser of workplace wit and wisdom’, the posts vary between amusing titbits and topical viewpoints, always with a sardonic undertone. 100% worth following.
6. http://www.glassbeadconsulting.com/hr-transformer-blog/ A well-designed blog that’s more than just its looks. Produced by Glass Bead Consulting, HR Transformer attracts plenty of reader discussion around posts such as Future Trends in HR Operating Models and The Top 5 Reasons HR Projects Fail. Overall topics include careers, change management, strategy, leadership and outsourcing.
7. http://publicsectorhrpodcast.co.uk/ Podcasts for the public sector, with handy summaries and transcribes. Karen Wormwell posts monthly ‘interviews with top HR professionals and industry experts who share their insights on some of the biggest challenges facing HR teams today.’
8. http://www.jeffersoniaunlimited.com/ (@nickjefferson) A newie and a goodie. Nick Jefferson, business improvement specialist with an obvious flair for journalism, writes no-nonsense whether he’s got HR strapped to the bottom line or challenging matrix management. And he writes for the The Huffington Post. Don’t forget to see his ‘No accounting for HR’ post.
9. http://workblogging.blogspot.com/ A blog that focuses specifically on social media in a work context, with a credible research slant to most articles. The author, James Richards, is a lecturer in Human Resources at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, who has a PhD in workplace misbehaviour (and happy to share it with you).
10. http://www.gravitatehr.co.uk/blog/ (@HR_Guru_) A news-led blog written by Edinburgh-based consulting firm Gravitate HR. The team are happy to share their experiences and advice on practical issues from dealing with Swine Flu to redundancy appeals, all with a personable and pragmatic outlook.
