Your Top 10 Favorites From 2009

Want to know the 10 most popular articles and resources on the Human Resources site? These are your top 10 favorite Human Resources articles and resources for 2009. I made this assessment based on the number of readers who accessed each article over the year. Thought you might like to know the favorites of other readers whether they access the articles via search, the site blog and navigation, or the newsletter.

This holiday time period also brought me the opportunity to reflect, not just on the past year, but on the decade of the 2000s. What started out as a "best" and "worst" trends project for me, changed. Each trend has its "best" and "worst" components, and what might make me happy doesn't necessarily make you happy.

Government intervention in the workplace is an example. I believe governments should stay out of the employer-employee relationship. Other readers believe that government should intervene more. So, is this trend a "best" or a worst"? It's all in the eyes of the beholder.

Consequently, I identified my top ten trends of the decade with several runners-up. Several of these trends were suggested by readers; the rest are my sorting of the many trends of the decade for Human Resources and the management of people in the workplace. Your thoughts are welcome. So are your nominations for best and worst trends of the decade.
