We’re Looking for the Top HR Person in the State

Human resources professionals probably too often fall in the "taken for granted" category. You know, the dependable, they’ll get done what needs to be done mentality.

I counter that the HR job is probably one of the most dfficult, balancing the needs of the employer while trying to best serve individual employees and their needs. A tough job in any economic environment, but one that’s probably even more challenging in the current downturn.

Ogletree Deakins and HR Dimensions of Indianapolis have recognized leaders in the HR field since 2005 with the Human Resources Professional of the Year award. Nominations for 2009 are open, with an April 3 deadline. The award presentation takes place May 6 as part of the Chamber’s 45th Annual Human Resources Conference & Expo.
