Company values. So often they are debated and put up on a wall, or plastered in an Employee Handbook. What place to Company Values truly have within HR and within an organization? How can we make them come to life vs. being a set of phrases meant to evoke some platitude ??

I think this is a topic worth discussing !! Let’s get together for the October HR Roundtable to discuss – “Making Company Values more than Words !!”

We’ll get together on Tuesday, 10/3/17 from 8:00am to 9:00am at Scarlet Oaks (directions are below). Please remember that school is back in session now so there will be awesome students going to school at the same time you arrive.

Since a true “value” of the HR Roundtable is being connected, please take a second and respond/RSVP by sending me an e-mail to: sbrowne@larosas.com to let me know if you can make it. I truly hope you can !!

See you in a few weeks - Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable at Scarlet Oaks:

• 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 !!

• If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of the resume to the Roundtable to display. Make sure they’re stapled and not loose. You only need to bring five. It will be enough to help you network.

• Place your resumes in the Job Role category that best fits your background. Please don’t spread them over several categories. People will find you and help you look. You can trust me on that.

• 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 !!

• You can bring business cards, but don’t immediately pass them out when you get to the Roundtable. Get to know people first and see if they’d like a card. It doesn’t need to be your introduction.

• Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable.  Note that if you go to any other Great Oaks door, you’ll be asked to have a picture ID and you will receive a Visitors badge as part of their security system.

• Chances are I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find the right door to come and join the forum !!
