People management is not just in Human Resources. The truth of it is that many HR functions are departments of one. People, you see, are EVERYONE’s responsibility. We tend to forget that reality and place all human related interactions in the basket of HR.

The truth is that most “HR” happens between a boss and his/her subordinates. So, for the September HR Roundtable we’re going to have some fun and discuss the topic – “How Bosses Waste Their Employees’ Time !!”

The Roundtable will get together on Tuesday, 9/4/18 from 8:00am to 9:00am at Scarlet Oaks (directions are below).

Please note two things: (1) Yes, I know it’s the day after Labor Day. It’s always been a great turnout each year we’ve had the Roundtable and (2) The students of Scarlet Oaks will be back in session. Please note that for parking spaces and be aware that we’re sharing space with them. It’s all good !!

I’d love to have you RSVP and let me know if you can make it. Even though I’m not your “boss”, I hope you don’t see this response as a “waste of time.” It would be great to have you join us !! Send me an email at: sbrowne@larosas.com to let me know if you can make it or not.

Thanks – 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 !!
