Â Check out <a title="http://askamanager.blogspot.com/2008/11/carnival-of-hr.html" href="http://askamanager.blogspot.com/2008/11/carnival-of-hr.html" target="_blank"><span  ><strong>this month&#8217;s Carnival</strong></span></a> &#8211; hosted by <a title="Ask A Manager" href="http://askamanager.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span  >Ask A Manager</span></strong></a> &#8211; for some sound advice from 26 top HR bloggers, including:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<strong>Wall Bock at Three Star Leadership asksÂ </strong><a href="http://blog.threestarleadership.com/2008/10/27/what-kind-of-working-environment-do-you-create.aspx"><strong>what kind of working environment you create</strong></a><strong>, and says that individual worker engagement is important, but engagement and productivity can change dramatically when a person is placed in a different environment.</p>
<p>Totally Consumed asks whetherÂ </strong><a href="http://totallyconsumed.blogspot.com/2008/11/do-your-employees-trust-their-hr.html"><strong>your employees trust the HR department</strong></a><strong>Â and gives three principles to help get an HR department on track.</p>
<p>Prasad Kurian at Simplicity at the Other Side of Complexity says that when we are faced with situations that are radically different from the norm,Â </strong><a href="http://prasadokurian.blogspot.com/2008/11/crazy-hr-for-crazy-times.html"><strong>we might need responses that look very different too</strong></a><strong>.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Enjoy the sugar rush and let&#8217;s keep the conversation going.</p>
