April 2018

In April, we celebrate Administrative Professionals. The Executive Liaisons. The Office Manager. The Mama and Papa Bears of the office. The latter is an endearing and suitable term. Why?  Because the range of support by an administrative professional goes from one extreme to another on any given day.

Contributed by Kyle Schamberger, HR MAP.  I recently returned to work full-time as an HR Management Associate after spending last summer being a MAP intern.

The HR Management Associate Program

The MAP is a program comprised of 3 rotations in various Human Resources (HR) disciplines and 2 more in a business area outside of HR. I worked on a project within HP’s Talent & Learning organization, which handles everything from instructional learning design and management of our HP Brain Candy social learning platform to talent and performance management.
