Join us for a candid Q&A on the topic of, Creating Cohesive Partnerships Between Executive Teams and HR! After the Q&A has concluded, stick around for networking with food and drink!
During this one-of-a-kind event, our five local executives will share expectations of their HR departments, how their HR departments are involved in the organization, how they wish their HR departments were more involved, stories of HR department wins, and known challenges (of which they are aware) they would like HR to assist in the solution. As this will be a roundtable, bring your questions to ask so you are able to get some answers to take back with you! And don't forget to stick around for networking, with food and drink, following the Q&A.
After attending this event, you will have insight on how a group of executives and their HR departments are...
