Mar 8, 2020

In this episode of “Tales from Around the Water Cooler”, Kristen sits down with Carol Semrad, principal of C. Semrad & Associates, where she does human resources consulting for small- to medium-sized companies. Carol and Kristen discuss the important of networking and relationships in the workplace environment of today, which can be unpredictable and quick to change. They talk about the challenges of being either an employer and an employee at a rapidly growing business, and the responsibility of the employer to keep open communication with employees during transition. Keeping up relationships through the separation process and making the separation a positive experience on both sides is essential from both an HR and a legal standpoint. The episode concludes with a timely discussion of the impact of the #MeToo movement on business in general and HR consulting in particular.
