Becoming the Sought-After HR Pro

SHRM
About this episode

This week we are rebroadcasting our very popular three-part mini-series on business acumen. This is part one of that mini-series and is called Becoming the Sought-After HR Pro and Understanding the Business of Your Organization.

A conversation on HR influence with Parker McKenna, an expert with 18-years of experience under his belt. Parker has always taken the approach, regardless of his HR title, from the perspective of being an organizational leader first. And second as a professional who is in HR. It's easy to get hung up on titles, but this can actually slow down career growth. Its what's on the inside, and in the workplace how you relay that, that matters.
