There has never been so much online content to choose from and only so many hours in a day. To help you cut through the noise, I’ve compiled a list of the top 4 HR leaders you should start following, my favourite posts, and how to follow them.
1. Liz Ryan
CEO and Founder of Human Workplace
What’s so great about her
Liz Ryan uses cartoons, Q&A, and humour in her posts which focus on treating workers like the human beings they are. An ex-Human Resources SVP, she writes to “bring life to work and bring work to life”.

Where can I find her stuff?
Liz writes for Huffington Post, Business Week, LinkedIn, the Harvard Business Review, the Denver Post, and Forbes.com.
2. Lou Adler
CEO, best-selling author, creator of Performance-based Hiring
What’s so great about him
Lou Adler has made a science out of hiring, and all of his writing centers around what he’s learned: companies need to screen and hire people based on their performance and results, not their skills and experiences.

4. Evil HR Lady
What’s so great about her
Evil HR lady (Suzanne Lucas) is a blogger/advice columnist. After spending 10 years in corporate human resources, she’s now on a mission to demystify the dreaded HR department. She describes why on her blog,
“All HR people are evil, it’s in our job description. Or at least, that seems to be the prevailing theory. In reality, there’s just more going on behind the scenes than most people know. I’m here to demystify your Human Resources department and tell you just why you worked your tail end off all year and still got a 1.7 percent bonus.”
