How would you like to see human resources and talent acquisition progress?
It’s time for an unpopular opinion: Those in the [Human Capital] arena need to be more inclusive with those trying to get a foot in the “HC door.” I have seen individuals being pushed out of the “circle” time and time again―if even let in at all. Now is the time for everyone to get over themselves, link arms with young people in their careers, and bring them to the top of the mountain.

SALT LAKE CITY There s another elephant in the room when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccines the question of whether or not they affect fertility.
And social media users have been quick to offer answers, oftentimes in the form of what doctors call myths.
Some have claimed the vaccine could attack a protein in the placenta with a small piece of genetic code that is the same as the spike protein of the coronavirus, or that the vaccines can affect menstrual cycles.
