In HR, that means being able to consistently recruit and hire top talent at a high volume, and in some cases, relocate them at an equally high rate. And when you put the pedal to the metal, that’s when mistakes happen. MORE

As the millennial takeover of the workplace population continues at a rapid pace, your corporate policies need to be updated to reflect the changing expectations of this new generation of employees.
