Tweep Round Up- Human Resources

Note: I’ve been on Twitter long enough now that I’m finally attracting people in my areas of professional interest— Human Resources, Training, Leadership Development, Performance Consulting and Industrial/Organizational Psychology. The Tweep Round Up is a series of blog posts that will highlight individuals in each of these areas. If you’re new to Twitter, it can be difficult to easily find people in your area of professional expertise. Yes there are many third-party Twitter applications that help, but isn’t just easier to have a one-stop list?  So I offer to you . . . my “round up” of Tweeps that I’ve found to be well-versed in their area of expertise and who also offer high-quality tweets.

First up—Human Resources

Twitter has a large Human Resources community.  There are recruiters galore, HR generalists, strategic HR consultants, HR directors, HR association directors— you name it! I began my career as an HR generalist, so it’s great to stay in touch with this important part of the people-equation.

I’m highlighting people that have managed to stand apart from the HR crowd on Twitter.  For the most part, I’ve personally spoken with most people on this list and have taken the further step of collaborating on blog posts with some of them. These are all new connections for me; all great people I wouldn’t have met had it not been for Twitter.
