expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein

your current HR practices were invented, this is what was happening in the
world:
- Mood
rings, bell-bottoms and platforms were in fashion.
- Watergate
forces a President to resign
- John
Travolta wore white suits in Stayin’ Alive
- The
Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch dominated TV
- Jaws
made people afraid to swim at the beach
- Apollo

- Mindy
had an alien roommate named Mork
- Your
Pet Rock kept you company while you played Pong

changed. People have changed.
