Whine with HR

HR is often seen as an administrative function or a "revenue-taker", as Trish likes to say. In this episode, we discuss how to turn your department into a revenue MAKER so you can have a seat at the "big" table! And if you're not in HR, but yearn to be a part of the executive team, you'll be able to apply much of what we discuss, so don't skip this episode.
