Rumors of Our Demise

May 22nd, 2011 by Krista Ogburn Francis in HR

zombies 150x150 Rumors of Our DemiseSo it’s May 22 and we’re all still here. Apparently Rev. What’s-His-Name was off with his calculations and no-one was raptured. But there are plenty of other predictions of the world’s end, including  December 21, 2012, according to the Mayan calendar.

But while the buzz lasted, we had fun with #zombies and #rapture before moving on to #survivalsunday.

All this hoopla kind of reminded me of ongoing  predictions that HR is dying. Is HR dead? Is HR going the way of the dinosaur? Is HR relevant?

In my opinion, rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.

That doesn’t mean we should be complacent or that there isn’t work to be done–because there is, just as there is in the physical world if we want to ensure the continued health of our planet–but I don’t think we’re going anywhere soon, just as I don’t think the world is in it’s end-of-days.

Zombies. End of the world. End of HR. What do you think?
