Trish over at HR Ringleader asked the following question yesterday in her post Making The Rubber Hit The Road: “Re-branding HR”:
Here’s my two cents.
Its up to you to keep the ball rolling, fight the good fight as they say. Talk to your local chapters about social media. Introduce those that aren’t already involved to the world outside of their own professional bubble. Keep doing seminars and tweeting about #GreatHR. Take your conversations offline. Work with others on creating movements in our field; come to HRevolution.
It’s up to you to let your voice be heard, let your success in HR be heard. If you’re doing something right in your HR department, share it with others. Has your company let go of the notion that HR is the “policy police”, is your company embracing social media through HR? Is your company doing on the cutting edge of recruiting? Have you found the secret the employee engagement? Share it!
If we expect to break free from the Toby and Personnel Management mentalities some still have for HR we won’t accomplish it by only talking to each other or by keeping our accomplishments (professional and personal) confined to our small groups. The world doesn’t know if you don’t tell it.
What have you done lately to spread the word that HR is evolving? What have you done to bring one HR Professional into the Social Media light? What is your HR Team or Company doing right?

I’m pushing a friend/coworker into the social media light, and I’m also trying to interact through my local SHRM chapter by offering to assist anyone and everyone with their social media questions. One person at a time.
