The worst thing (probably) about your company’s HR Leader is the person who hired your HR Leader. In fact, I would love nothing more than to banish, forevermore, the CEOs, Business Owners, COOs and CFOs who recruit, interview and select their company’s HR leader. OK …not all of them need to go; there are quite a few who understand the value of great HR.

Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

When you interview for an office-based job, you go in for an interview and can see their situation. You meet actual humans and see their office space. Scammers can (and have) go to great lengths to scam people, but they are not likely to rent office space to get a copy of your social security number and d
