HR Happy Hour 149 - ‘Office Politics’ Sponsored by Aquire Thursday October 16, 2012 - 8:00PM ET Call in 646-378-1086 Follow the backchannel on Twitter - hashtag - #HRHappyHour Have you heard something about pretty important election happening in about 3 weeks? Are you concerned about the results of the election and the potential impact to your business? Is your CEO threatening to fire everyone if his/her preferred candidate does not win? Are your staff getting into little skirmishes over the upcoming election, in a little mini-drama that plays out in the break room? Just want to call in and pitch your candidate or philosophy? I don’t know much about politics, but that never stopped me, (or anyone else), from spouting off from time to time. So this week on the show we thought we’d try our hand at talking politics - its influence on work and the workplace, how the upcoming election is affecting your workplaces, and whether or not work and politics should mix at all. We will also recap the recently concluded HR Technology Conference, HRevolution, and whatever else is on your mind. And be warned, if the politics conversation falls flat - I am prepared to do a complete team-by-team NBA season preview! I hope you can join us and participate in the fun!
