Helping each other with life after HP. Operated by former HP, HPInc, and HPE employees -- and those in the process of leaving. Not officially endorsed or supported.

The HPAA is U.S.-centric. Alumni from outside the U.S. are welcome to join -- but generally find that the HPAA emails and online forums, except for the TechTalk group, are not useful to them. Instead, use our directory of 190 HP-related social and professional groups worldwide. HPAA membership is not required to join our worldwide LinkedIn group -- or to use our employee stock decoder, our practical advice on using LinkedIn, or our "ASAP Checklist" for people leaving.

Instead...

1. Find the other groups that suit your needs using our directory of 190 informal HP-related social and professional groups worldwide -- sites, regions, and countries; divisions and business units; HP predecessors and spinoffs; functional areas; special interests.

2. Make use of the non-country-specific HPAA services listed below.

TechTalk Group. [HPAA TechTalk] Discuss personal technology issues from an ex-HP/HPInc/HPE perspective.  Join the HPAA TechTalk forum

If leaving or recently left, use our ASAP Checklist. Member advice on what to do before losing access to company systems -- and in the following few weeks. While most of the details are U.S.-specific, the same fundamental issues apply everywhere.

HPAA's Employee Stock Guide. No one but you really cares about your employment-related stock. You may have stock in up to seven HP-related companies (HPQ, HPE, A, KEYS, DXC, MFGP, PRSP.) Your stock may not all be in the same place. You may need to retrieve lost stock or dividends, find stray accounts, or estimate your cost basis. An HP Alumni team has developed a step-by-step process to find and protect your stock. Employee Stock (HPAA membership not required.)
