Its the #SHRM12 #notatSHRM Carnival of HR - Workology Its the #SHRM12 #notatSHRM Carnival of HR While you are packing your picnic baskets and shopping for sparklers, Im slaving away on Americas Independence Day putting the latest edition of the Carnival of HR.  Its not as bad as it sounds as Im serving up this Carnival of HR near the sandy beaches of San Diego where me and my family are hunkered down after an especially fun, action-packed, and exhausted SHRM 2012 Annual Conference.
