Again, thank you so much @JohnnyCTaylorJr for all of your support!! Our Fireside Chat was Amazing! Your insight on HR issues, phenomenal!!! @SHRM @HR_Houston @COHEmployeeNews
The future of HR is busy, yes … perhaps even overwhelming. I’m talking about: 1️⃣ Recruiting and retaining talent. 2️⃣ Creating civil workplace cultures. 3️⃣ Upskilling and reskilling. But it’s also full of incredibly hardworking and passionate people, who are going to enhance our workplaces—and world—forever. That’s exactly what we discussed during the City of Houston HR Symposium. I couldn’t be more thankful to everyone who joined us for my fireside chat with Jane Cheeks, HR Houston President and Director of HR, City of Houston. #SHRM #GulfCoastSymposium #HumanResources

Thank you for your service! Praying with and for their families and their @houstonpolice and @HoustonFire families!
Today Houston mourns two heroes. HFD Firefighter Paramedic Stephen Scott and HPD Senior Police Officer Alex Roberts both gave their lives in service to our city. Our thoughts are with their families, loved ones, and the HFD/HPD families. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
