Actually it suffices to know the generating function

$$\sum_{k\geq 1}H^{(p)}_kx^k=\frac{\mathrm{Li}_p(x)}{1-x}$$

Upon integrating we obtain

$$\sum_{k\geq 1}\frac{H^{(p)}_k}{k}x^k=\mathrm{Li}_{p+1}(x)+\int^x_0 \frac{\mathrm{Li}_p(t)}{1-t}\,d t$$

$$\sum_{k\geq 1}\frac{H_k}{k}x^k=\mathrm{Li}_{2}(x)+\frac{1}{2}\log^2(1-x)$$

$$\sum_{k\geq 1}\frac{H_k}{k}(-1)^k=-\frac{\pi^2}{12}+\frac{1}{2}\log^2(2)$$
