In this episode of ICology, Sarah Cooper, author and creator of The Cooper Review, shares her thoughts behind the creation of "Color Me HR, an activity guide for HR pros." It's a very creative and fun approach to the challenges that many in HR and communications face.

Download the guide and you can complete the onboarding maze (don't get caught with the bad security photo), color pictures to avoid the office party lawsuit and more. This approach is a unique way of tackling normally boring or threating topics with a bit of humor.
