R U OK? and value of HR in tough industries

I hope by now you’ve heard about R U OK? in your workplace or from one of your friends. In the instance that you haven’t, R U OK? is an organisation which is about preventing suicide in Australia.

Demographics or psychographics? Should HR be focusing on what generation you are from?

The future of Graduate Recruitment and HR

I was recently interviewed by the good people at Careerhub about my role at CSIRO and what I thought the future of graduate recruitment was all about.
