Last December, I wrote about the first rumblings of a movement away from performance reviews, a monumental shift in the workplace culture of the last several decades. The debate over performance reviews hasn’t died down since then; in fact, it’s only continued to build.

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is the largest HR association in the world. So as you would imagine, their events tend to make an impact on the industry.

In April, SHRM’s Talent Staffing conference brought hundreds of HR pros to San Diego for three days to discuss recruiting and retention issues. But their annual conference and expo, to be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center June 26-29, is an even bigger deal.

It's been an incredible six days for RiseSmart.  Last Wednesday, our company was named to the Red Herring Top 100 North America, a list of the year’s most promising private technology ventures selected by the Red Herring editorial team.
