Randi Frank presenting at Kentucky Society of Human Resource Managers
I will be presenting at the Kentucky Society of Human Resource Manager (KY SHRM) meeting in Louisville on August 28th at the Omni Hotel. I will be a part of a panel of Human Resource Thought Leaders who have authored books or chapters about best practices in Human Resources. I will be speaking about “Recruiting the Right Talent for Your Organization” from the Book You @ Work published by Silver Tree Publishing. https://randifrank.com/you-work-unlocking-the-human-potential-in-the-workplace/
The Session is meant for human resources and business leaders who understand the importance of embracing the human spirit of their employees and encouraging employees to bring their entire selves to work. Abolutely every decision, every business strategy, every word spoken between colleagues, and every policy enacted can and should be derived from a place of compassion. Organizational success is, at its core, about human beings working together as a team. To have the right team you need to hire the right talent which will be my discussion.
