When I look at today’s work environment, I see a bigger and bigger push for stasis. We seek comfort and a lack of change far more than we do innovation and variability. As HR pros, I think we foster this more than others. We want interactions between people to be comfortable and not volatile. There’s something to be said for that.

However, many HR pros miss the opportunity to make the workplace “uncomfortable.” What would work look like if we did?

Let’s get together in November and talk about it. Our topic is – “Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable.”

We’ll gather on Tuesday, 11/7/23 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks in the Annex next to the High School Cafeteria. (directions are below)

I know we all get barraged with emails and all forms of communication all day. However, I’d like to ask you to respond to this message and let me know if you can make it to the November HR Roundtable. I’d love to see you there to dig into this uncomfortable topic !!

Please take a moment and RSVP to let me know either way by email at: sbrowne@larosas.com

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 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.

• 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.
