• SHRM, Burgess Stockwell April, 2011 A human resources (HR) executive and entrepreneur with extensive experience in numerous leadership positions, Burgess Stockwell devotes the bulk of her time and energy to overseeing activities at Human Resources Strategy & Growth (HRSG). After serving in a variety of high-level roles at companies such as Radiance Medical Systems, Inc. and EZ Lube, Burgess Stockwell established HRSG, which provides small- and medium-sized businesses with a wide array of value-driven HR consultation services targeted at maximizing employee capabilities and solidifying the infrastructure of the client business. Further information about HRSG appears on the organization’s website, www.hr-sg.com. Burgess Stockwell also maintains ties with SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management), an association that boasts distinction as the world’s largest network of HR professionals. With 575 U.S. chapters and subsidiary offices in India and China, SHRM claims a total membership of over 250,000 people working together to foster a variety of positive advancements in HR services and practices. Established in 1948 as the American Society for Personnel Administration (ASPA), SHRM initially aimed to create a solid framework for promoting the activities and interests of businessmen and businesswomen working in HR across America. Holding its first annual conference in Cleveland, Ohio, SHRM quickly expanded its reach, retaining a firm commitment to its first mission while notably widening the scope of its initial endeavors. SHRM relocated its headquarters in 1984 from Ohio to Alexandria, Virginia, and refocused efforts to better reflect the needs of the growing membership. Adopting its current moniker in 1989, SHRM continued to assert influence in the business and political arenas on both the national and international platforms, implementing new educational programs, research initiatives, and conferences as time passed. Recognized today as one of the preeminent authoritative forces in the HR field, SHRM remains strongly focused on promoting diversity, innovation, and overall excellence in business practices.

• How to Impress Human Resources Representatives by Burgess Stockwell , Burgess Stockwell Blog on Wordpress May, 2011 In my career as an HR executive, I have made it a priority to aid in developing the interaction between employees and HR representatives. While there are attributes an employee should expect from HR, there are qualities HR reps look for in their employees as well. 1. Take Pride in Your Appearance Like it or not, books are judged by their covers. Take time to make yourself presentable; wear tidy, work-appropriate clothing when you meet with HR in order to make a good impression. 2. Speak Kindly About Your Peers Everyone in every industry must interact with someone they do not care for. That does not mean employees should gripe about their supervisors or fellow colleagues to human resources. Speaking kindly and respectfully about other employees facilitates a smooth work environment for everybody. 3. Be Respectful Toward HR Representatives During most job interviews, a human resources representative will talk to employees about specifics unrelated to the position for which the candidate is applying. Do not make the mistake of believing that these encounters are less important than interactions with prospective supervisors or peers. Oftentimes the colleagues of these representatives hold their opinions in high regard, so strive to make as good an impression with them as possible.
