Hi,
Apart from the above publications, there is one called the ‘ Society for Human resource management’ (SHRM) magazine. The magazine provides latest trends on HR.
But I would still refer to Harvard Business Review and MIT management journals anytime. They are the best in terms of the topic relevance. cutting edge research, HR best practices and experiences from the leadership teams worldwide.
There are other personal blogs from leading HR professionals as well. But then, I find the HBX as an amalgamation of thought leadership not just in HR but in other disciplines as well. It gives a well integrated view.
It was nice reading through your article.
Thank you.
Cheers, Ramkumar
Excellent article! Thanks for this list. These blogs will be a great addition to other typical sites like HBR, SHRM and others.
