Hi Mark,
Looks like I've struck a nerve. I have just responded to posts and voiced my opinions, because they aren't in sync with yours now I am a troll.
Anyhow the discussion was an eyeopener....
Very well said Michaela. ;)
Dear Mark,
With all due respect to you as a professional, looking at HR with an accountant's eye is part of the problem! Also those that have been working in HR for over 20 years are, as they...
Mark, I just want to make it clear that this isn’t a them vs us argument. We can agree to disagree on differing HR practices. I am an Australian HR practitioner, but I do want to clarify this isn’t...
Moz,
That is the beauty of a forum like this, people can express their thoughts and viewpoints and not everyone has to agree or disagree. You can call it a put down if you like, but I make no...
I have to agree with this article for many reasons. I have seen it one too many times.
Moz at no point did I suggest there was "widespread" bias.
I didn't slag HR in Australia, I just stated fact, it is behind the times period, I don't have a complex about that nor do I feel the...

Hi,
There's alot of slack recruitment agencies and employers out there who don't afford the courtesy of a response, of simply send the computer generated response of you don't have the right...
Hi Kevin, I just finished up a role where part of my HR management duty was to assist in processing the payroll each month with the Finance Manager - I really didn't enjoy doing it!
If you look at...
Forget about the US unless you have American experience. Frankly, US HR practices are 10 years ahead of what's happening in Australia and they are very particular about your education as opposed to...
Frankly the Payroll function doesn't exist within the realm of HR in the USA. Australia is far behind this practice, as payroll should always remain a function of accounting/finance and not be a...
Hi Anne,
What's it like to practice HR in London for an American? Is it possible even if they are an Aussie permanent resident.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
In all honesty, it will be very difficult to find a job here. I know someone who has had a wealth of HR Generalist and Learning & Development experience not to mention an MBA in HR Management from a...
