About Human Resources is one of the most comprehensive online guides to human resources available, providing a wealth of wide-ranging and cutting-edge HR information.
The four main sections of the portal cover articles, forums, an HR chatroom and an HR newsletter. With 28 in-depth human resources subjects on offer, you could easily make About Human Resources the only HR site you ever visit and still not cover all the content provided. What’s more, the content is useful and practical, with articles under “training”, for example, including ‘Ten tips to make training work’, ‘Training evaluation of effectiveness’, and ‘Icebreakers, energisers, and activities’. Other subjects include performance management, morale/motivation, coaching/mentoring and selection and retention. A breath of fresh subject air is the page dedicated to HR humour, with articles and links on the lighter side of HR, such as downsizing cartoons, consulting humour and the infamous Darwin Award nominees.
All the content is free, with the only drawback being annoying but easily clicked off pop-up advertising banners. Navigation is admirably simple given the wealth and complexity of content, and good design ties the portal together nicely.
