Concealed Carry Law
With the new concealed carry law, I am wondering what other employers are doing about modifying their policy manual. I have read some SHRM articles on this topic and it seems that employers have no real guidance in this area. I am wanting to know if anyone else has developed a policy that they could share or have any suggestions or recommended resources.

Question about Forklift Drivers????
For those that have forklift driving positions; do you mind telling me what percentage of the driver’s time is spent driving backwards and do you find that a driver twisting around to see a ergonomic issue?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

It's a wonderful opportunity to build your skill set, gain some knowledge, meet speakers (we invite them to stay) and network with your in-state peers. Let me know if you are attending. I'll be on the lookout for you and would be happy to help with introductions.

My Best Professional Advice to Job Seekers, Amy Dillman
With unceremonious arrival, this Spring marked my 10 year anniversary in the field of human resources. I've seen and heard a lot of the good and bad in HR, in management, in policy, in employees and in applicants. So when I was recently asked to give my best professional advice to job seekers I contemplated how to even start or when to dare stop the recommendations. So, with an albeit condensed nod to the list-maker himself, Mr. Dave Letterman, I present my top 5 ways to prepare for the hunt (hey, I said it was condensed).

Learning and Loving ILSHRM, Adriane McGraw
What HR professional doesn’t love networking, sharing stories of past experiences, and learning about all the new trends in the field? Well okay maybe there are one or two select individuals, but for the rest of us the 2011 Illinois SHRM conference was a phenomenal experience.

Raising a Child with HR on the Brain, Amy Dillman
So, another school year begins and the battle for homework happiness begins. My son, the fourth grader, doesn't want any. I, the mom, want it done quickly yet correctly. It's not that he struggles with his scholastic abilities; it's thankfully, quite the opposite. He's smart, or so I've been assured by the Illinois education system's standardized testing. But homework is a nightly tug-of-war, complete with pouty bottom lips and threats of early bedtimes (though I'm not sure who is responsible for which). The problem lies in the execution.

SHRM11 - Working the National Show, Amy Dillman
SHRM’s “Innovative Solution for What’s Next”
SHRM2011, held the last week of June in Las Vegas, was a jackpot of a conference. OK, pardon, the Vegas reference, but it really was a great event this year and I wish all my CiHRG members have an opportunity to go to this event sometime.
