High performance and humanity belong in the same room
Most HR is built around policies and processes. Joel builds it around people.
Through stories, frameworks, and practical tools, Keeping the Human in Human Resources explores the moments that shape how employees feel about where they work: recruiting, onboarding, feedback, recognition, life’s hardest moments, and even how someone leaves.
It also takes on AI, not as a threat, but as a way to clear out the administrative drag and make more time for listening, coaching, and connecting.
Funny, candid, and refreshingly practical. For HR leaders, managers, executives, and the people who love them.

Praise from people who are not his mom
A thoughtful, refreshingly practical perspective on what it means to build strong workplace culture. From leadership and feedback to onboarding and difficult decisions, it’s a beautifully articulated reminder that how we treat people matters at every stage of the employee experience. As a People person by profession I found myself wanting to turn these pages into my rotating screensaver.

An excellent read for HR professionals, managers, and anyone interested in building a more human-centered workplace. Highly recommended!
