Happy Mother’s Day !!
To the women holding it down at home, at work, and everywhere in between—this day (and every day) is for you.
You are the blueprint. You are the blessing.
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at #HRKickback.

3 Things I Never Let My HR Besties Do:

1. Ignore the Data
HR ain’t just vibes—it’s metrics too! Use data to show your value and make power moves. #MajorKey 📊

2. Hide Behind Policy
Policies are cool, but people want to feel seen—not managed like a checklist. If you have to lead with policy, you’ve already lost the connection. #TalkToPeople 🗣️

3. Wait on the Drama
See bad behavior? Address it—now. Letting it slide only kills culture. When trust is built, correction feels like accountability, not punishment. #RespectFirst 🚫⚠️

Being good at your job is just one piece of making your mark in your career! You gotta be intentional ✨. Stay tuned for a real-world storytime!

In the meantime, head over to HRKickback.com for a FREE playbook download—packed with thought-provoking questions to help you level up in your career or boss up in your current role.

3 Things I Tell Others Not To Do As A HR
Professional With 20+ Years Experience 🙂‍↔️

Don’t overlook data and metrics: HR isn’t just about people- It’s about measurable outcomes. Use data to make informed decisions that impact the business. This is a major key in adding value. 📊

Don’t rely solely on policy to manage people: Policies are essential, but they’re not a substitute for building strong relationships with your workforce. People want to understand, not managed like checklist. I always say “if you have to leave it with policy you’ve already failed and what you attempted to achieve” 📑

Don’t wait to act on bad behavior: If you see problematic behavior in the workplace, address it swiftly. Letting issues fester can hurt your culture and undermine trust in HR. I always say “build strong relationships with trust and respect- then when you have to correct or discipline people understand it’s not you but them that landed themselves in a situation “ 😔

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: always take your failures in your career as lessons, because there’s always something to learn that could help as you progress in your career. 😌

Things | Would Never Do as aal HR Executive😎

Ignore Employee Concerns: Whether it’s a small issue or a larger problem, everyone deserves to feel heard and valued. Small issues left unaddressed often turn into bigger problems down the line. I always tell people “it’s cool until it ain’t cool no mo” 😊

Compromise on Ethics for Results: The pressure to deliver can be high, but cutting corners or engaging in unethical practices to achieve business goals is a recipe for disaster. Integrity first, always. 💼

Neglect Your Own Professional Development:
HR is constantly evolving. Staying stagnant in your knowledge and skills will make it harder to add value to your organization. Always keep learning! 📚

What do you think the next step is in your HR career? 😁#humanresources #networking #blackgirlmagic

Building a sense of COM•MU•NI•TY 🌟 is crucial in a field where people of color are underrepresented. We need to foster connections and a support system, both in-person and online, to uplift each other. Over the next few days, I’ll share three one-word reasons (starting with this one) why we started the HR Kickback 🤩, and I hope one way we can achieve this is by creating a community of like-minded women in Human Resources through The HR kickback 💪. #networking #blackgirl #humanresources #hrcommunity

Only 1.4% of C-Suite leaders are Black women, but we’re not letting numbers define our potential. Let’s amplify our voices, celebrate our achievements, and pave the way for more women of color to enetr the HR field! ✨

POV: Your in the final stages of planning for your HR event now the only thing left to do is marketing to find your crew ☺️🤗😁! #hr #networkingevent #socialevent #corpoategirl

This year we are steping out on faith 🙏🏾 , and excuting on idea we’ve been thinking through for a year + now. As I say its nothing to it but to do it! 🤗

We want to empower each other with a new type of HR community!👯‍♀️ Our goal is to create a welcoming space beyond the corporate world, where you can feel at ease, access reliable HR guidance, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your values.☺️

Exciting updates! 🎉 We’re busy preparing more activities for our HR community gathering! 🤝 We’re looking for alternative names for this event, something beyond just ‘networking’. 🤔 Any suggestions? Our goal is to create a fun, supportive space where like-minded women can connect, build meaningful relationships, and grow together - beyond their HR roles. 💖 A place to foster lasting friendships and a sense of belonging. 🌟

As a shy person myself 🙊, one of my main
goals in creating the HRKB was to create a relaxed and welcoming space 🤗 where introverts can feel comfortable and thrive in an informal setting 📚. I’m excited to host our upcoming networking event, whether we have 1 person or 50 people 🤝🏽 I’m proud we took the chance to create something that can have a lasting impact for a lifetime 💫! #humanresources #networkingevent #behindthescenes #hardworkpaysoffs ing

From the KICKBACK to the BOARDROOM, staying genuine is key.

We all wear different hats – from mom to mentor, friend to leader. While some call it ‘code-switching’ to fit in, I see it as embracing our versatile selves. Each role we play has its unique essence, yet at the core, we’re just us, adapting and thriving in every sphere of life. #leadershipdevelopment #CareerGrowth #careertiktok #hrtiktok #TheHRKickback

Just as I am❣️

#AuthenticLeadership isn’t just about leading with integrity; it’s about recognizing that even in our imperfections, we’re chosen and valued. Every 👏🏾single 👏🏾time👏🏾.

We are the examples of what good looks like which in turn can inspire those around us to do the same. 💫 #Chosen #LeadWithFaith #TheHRKickback

When they ask are you going to work on
PTO... prehaps not 💅🏾
