Below is an example of what’s built and shared as inspired by HR Open Source. I opened my own playbook of tools/resources/approaches I use with clients, and then asked my peers to contribute some of their own.
We’ll be discussing more practical applications of HR Open Source at my panel at ERE in New Orleans, as well as taking attendees inside the development and contribution of a specific case study from Go Daddy.
