A key component of securing human resources jobs – jobs in any industry, for that matter – is networking. Individuals looking to begin or advance their human resources careers should strongly consider joining an organization just for HR professionals. By being active in an industry-specific association, you will make invaluable connections, have the opportunity to grow professionally through training and certification programs, and increase your credibility as an HR expert.

When work-life balance is achieved through workplace flexibility, the benefits are numerous: lower turnover, increased engagement and satisfaction, heightened productivity and performance, and better employee health.

HR professionals may make easy targets, but in reality they're just like the rest of us: overworked, undercompensated, and doing the best they can with the resources at their disposal.
