HR Raging Debates Goes Live and Uncensored

It’s been a month since we launched the HR Raging Debates virtual forum! In that time we’ve had over 1000 readers weigh in with their reactions to the opinions of the 10 HR experts who answered pressing questions in talent management and HR.

To build on this success, we’ll be bringing the expert panel to a live webcast event, where each expert can defend their stance on the hot topics and answer new questions posed by webcast attendees. We have 8 of our 10 experts participating: Josh Bersin, David Creelman, Kris Dunn, Richard Hadden, Lance Haun, Sharlyn Lauby, Edward Lawler and Libby Sartain.

I’d like to invite you to participate in this webinar which takes place Tuesday December 15th, 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. ET. You can register here.
