What happens when thousands of HR practitioners from around the world come together to share ideas, open up their playbooks, and step out of their silos to collaborate, educate, and inspire like never before? We’re going to find out in 2016 as the Open Source HR movement scales and grows. 

WE NEED YOU TO HELP US GET THERE

The HROS community is the heart of this open source movement. Your contributions, ideas, and passion for this new effort are essential to propel this forward in 2016. 

One of our top priorities for Q1 is building our volunteer committees. We’ll have three initial committees to start the new year. We wanted to break them down below to give you an idea of what each area will be working on to support HROS. 

 

MARKETING & AMPLIFICATION

  • Secure press coverage to promote HROS and help us recruit and spread the movement
  • Secure speaking opportunities at conferences and events
  • Amplify and promote HROS member company case studies, resources, and community contributions
  • Grow the @HROpenSource Twitter community
  • Grow Open Source HR Facebook community
  • Drive engagement and growth on #HROS
  • Explore new Marketing campaigns and approaches

 

CONTENT CREATION & PEER REVIEW SUPPORT

  • Peer review HROS case study content
  • Work with member companies to edit and develop their case studies
  • Curate peer-reviewed resources for the HROS community
  • Contribute blog posts to the HROS blog
  • Explore new communication vehicles including newsletters, podcasts, etc

 

COMMUNITY & PARTNERSHIPS

  • Ensure HROS community is extracting value from their membership
  • Engage the HROS community to encourage robust dialog, sharing, and collaboration
  • Continue building and growing the HROS Supporter and Volunteer communities (individuals)
  • Continue building and growing the HROS Member Company Community (companies)
  • Serve as “HROS Evangelist” in your local community to recruit supporters and member companies
  • Help establish and build relationships with third party companies and organizations that can support the growth of HROS

If you can contribute in any of the above areas and our willing to volunteer your time (we expect 2-3 hours per month) to help scale HROS, we want to hear from you. Register in the poll below to share your interests and priorities. We’ll follow up in January to discuss next steps.
