People work. They occupy jobs and perform tasks on a daily basis. Each person and role is different, even if they have the same titles. A company may have a small number of employees or be a multinational global entity. There are commonalities across industries and significant differences. All of these statements may seem obvious and even “known.”

One thing that is missing is this . . . Most of these very talented employees, regardless of role, level, or organization, are isolated.

It’s true. We focus far more on a person’s presence visibly than we do on how interconnected they are/aren’t. That’s troubling to me. So, let’s talk about it !!

The topic for the April Roundtable is – “Moving from Isolated to Interconnected in our Organizations.”

We’ll get together on the Scarlet Oaks campus on Tuesday, 4/7/26 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks. (directions are below.) We will meet in the Annex (right next to the cafeteria).

To make sure you aren’t isolated and get more interconnected yourself, please email me with your RSVP at - sbrowne@larosas.com. Please let me know if you plan to attend. I hope you do !!

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 !!

• 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.  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 Visitor's 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.

• 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.
