New MBA Student Seeking Advice: Which Monthly HR Magazine Should I Choose?

Hello seniors, I'm a new member in my first year of MBA. I have heard that this website is very helpful. I would like to get your suggestions. Can you tell me which is the best HR magazine (besides HUMAN CAPITAL) among this list that I can read - Business Manager, HRM Review, Human Factor, HR Capital, Management Compass...?

I am looking for a monthly magazine. I am really confused. Also, could you please tell me how to get them? I am looking for your best suggestion.

Thank you,
Snowhite

Firstly, tell me, how do you find the time to read so many magazines? The point is not to have superficial knowledge of everything; the point is to have good and real knowledge of what you know. You can't remember everything from so many magazines. Accept that. I am also a second-year MBA student.

Firstly, read the newspaper every day. Secondly, even if you read one HR magazine like HRM Review and articles from the internet, that's good enough. Learn to strike a balance between general awareness and domain knowledge.

Dear Snowhite,

I agree with Wabbit here. Please read any one magazine or newspaper article. Do not read so many magazines at this level. If you are doing some research, then you may require many magazines.

Thank you,

Well, there is nothing wrong in knowing about various magazines. Maybe for any project, presentation, etc., one might need to refer to a good magazine. Only newspapers can't be sufficient all the time. Even though one can't remember everything, at least they can take help from it anytime they need it.

Dear Snowhite,

You may read any magazine that appeals to you the most. Since you have mentioned some names, I am sure you have also gone through them. Now, it is for you to decide which has been more informative and knowledgeable. Each one of us, if given an option, may select a different magazine depending on which magazine addressed our query the best.

Whichever magazine you read, please don't stop visiting this temple, mosque, church, gurudwara (and names of all places of worship) of HR, the Cite HR. What you have here, you will never find in one magazine or one place.

Regards,
Srini

Dear friend,

You are most welcome to this exciting field. You may kindly look up the valuable magazines of Indian Society for Training and Development, Sriram Centre for Human Relations, and Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai.

Dear sir,

It is my great pleasure to be back with my dear professional colleagues. Due to some personal preoccupation, I could not keep in touch with you for some time. I am sure I missed a lot. I thank you all for welcoming me.

Hello friends and respected seniors. These days, I have been looking for good references from all of you regarding a good HR magazine that one can read. I asked you to refer from the various options (magazines) listed above. But the irony is that until now, there is no one who could guide properly in choosing a magazine. With reference to one of the above posts, I would like to say that if I had ever gone through them, then I could have decided on my own. Also, I know the names of these magazines; it doesn't mean that I want to read all of them. But I asked you to suggest the name of a single magazine out of these. Most of the above posts appear to deliver a lecture rather than showing the path.

I know that such a post is not welcomed by this website, but sorry to say that if our members do not encourage each other by giving proper replies, then what's the use of their posts and membership.

Hello Simirali,

I have read your case. It should not be a problem for you because you are working with younger individuals who are in a superior position. You can learn a lot from them. Learning is also new to everybody, whether you have experience or not. So, shed the perception of feeling guilty or rude. In the company, positions and roles matter, not the age factor.

The different treatment you receive is based on your perception only. Mingle with them and see the change; they will respect your age and seek your help. Don't be arrogant and think that you have better knowledge than them. Nobody is perfect or the best in the world. If you know the work better than them, then tell them in a polite manner.

"You are responsible to the position, not to the person."

With regards from Valbooj
