Employees. They’re people right? They are in case you had some other answer. We often hear that HR needs to put the “H” back into the profession and the workplace. It’s odd though that there is quite a spectrum of people, approaches and ideas when it comes to working with humans. There is a constant myth that exists in organizations that everyone can be treated the same way. It’s not possible (or what companies really want.)

Let’s get together for the March HR Roundtable to discuss – “Employee Relations and How to Do it Well !!”

This will be a great topic because you will be able to share your own personal experiences, your own observations of how Employee Relations is done well (or not), and give ideas on how to improve this essential facet of the workplace.

We’ll meet on Tuesday, 3/7/17 from 8:00am to 9:00am at Scarlet Oaks. (directions below) at Scarlet Oaks. Look for the large parking lot where the buses are dropping off the students.

Since one of the factors of great employee relations is communications – I want you to communicate back with me and RSVP to let me know if you can make it to the March Roundtable or not by sending me an e-mail at: sbrowne@larosas.com

I hope you all can make it !!

See you soon – 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 !!
