CARITAS HR

CARITAS=kindness, compassion, charity. Virtues that are important in all facets of our lives, whether it is personal, professional, or spiritual.

Also the name of a groovy nightclub/karaoke bar in one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Angel.

Back to it after a rainy (and still raining) spring...


Well, again the best-laid plans can sometimes get waylaid.  Many greater men than I have probably said that over the years; I’m not the first and certainly won’t be the last.
So, flashback to Winter 2011.  Steelers are in the Super Bowl, I was flying high with some good family news, things at work were cruising along, and the Blog Spot to be known as CaritasHR was on the way to be a blog sensation.
At least we got the Mirrorball!
Oh, how things can change.  Overall, life continues to be great and I am thankful every day for the many blessings I see.  But I have heard it said that in life there are four big changes you can go through unlike any other:  getting married, buying a house, having children, and changing jobs.  (I would also add that as a Steeler fan losing the Super Bowl cause a change in your viewpoint for a while, but I digress…).
So no new kids, house, or marriages to report, but I did make a big change in role.  Starting a few weeks ago I accepted and started a new position with a great local organization, Invacare, where I’ll be overseeing the North American HR function with some work in OD that will also involve global work.  For me at this stage it is a great and exciting opportunity and a new challenge I am ready to face.
