2017 is finally here. Everyone is slowly getting back in to their routines and we are all getting back to work. For most, our lives have been filled with excess over the past 3 months. Too much food, too much booze, too much time off, and don’t forget- too much family time. We all love our families (or most do), but too much of anything can be overwhelming. Yes, Clark Griswold’s dad said it best in Christmas Vacation when he said he got through the holidays with “a lot of Jack Daniels”. I know I certainly did.
We took our tree down on December 27. Not that we didn’t enjoy the holidays, but I was just over Christmas. As soon as the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve, resolutions were being made across the world. Gyms are packed at the beginning of a new year but eventually most everyone gives up. Most people forget their resolutions by the end of the first week in January.
I have been asked over the past couple of months what I think 2017 will bring in the HR & recruiting world. Will robots take over? Will recruiters become obsolete? Will technology take over the role of the recruiter?
I’ve been relatively quiet recently. This is not by accident, but by design. I used to run my mouth more than I should. I was opinionated and let the world know how I felt. Although I am absolutely 100% right all of the time, (sarcasm) I don’t care to talk much anymore.
My resolution in 2017 is simple. I want to listen. I want to listen to what others have to say. I want to learn and observe.
One thing is for certain about 2017. There will be change. I don’t have to say anything…
