Do you think employees understand that we all live in a world of duality in our organizations? You see, to every role there is an organizational component and an individual role component. I’ll contend that most people are very in tune and aware of the individual contributor side of their existence in a company. However, the organizational component is either missing, misunderstood, or assumed. This leads to people feeling pulled in multiple ways that seem to be in conflict.

How can we remedy this so that companies are clearer about this reality, and employees understand what and why an organizational component to their work is important? This feels like it’s evolving into the topic for the next HR Roundtable !!

Our topic for the October HR Roundtable is – “Identifying and Understanding the Duality of People’s Roles.”

We’ll gather at Four Corners Church on Tuesday, 10/6/26 from 8:30am to 9:30am. (Directions are below)

I know the topic sounds a bit theoretical, but it’s a critical issue that is rarely evaluated or defined. In your “role” as an HR Roundtable attendee, I’d like you to respond to the “organizational component” of the forum by sending your RSVP for this meeting via email to me at - sbrowne@larosas.com

I hope each of you can make it !! Please take a moment and let me know.

Thanks – Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable:

• The HR Roundtable is open to one and all !!  The meeting has an HR/Business focus each month, and we get together to discuss that topic as well as network.  So, if you’re in HR, are a small business owner, are a resource partner who works with HR folks, a professional in transition, etc. – you are welcome to attend the Roundtable !!

• The “dress” for the Roundtable is business casual. We’re not very formal, and you’ll be fine however you dress. It’s more important to have you come and attend the forum.

• Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable. It helps me keep track of who’s active in the forum. The sign-up sheets and name tags will be at a table right inside the room.

• If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of your resume to put out at our Resume Table. Make sure to staple them if you have multiple pages.

• Chances are, I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find your way to our meeting room. We’ll have signs up for you as well.
