Welcome to Whine with HR! Our bi-monthly meet-up where we think about - and drink about - all things HR! Now, all of you in HR (or quite frankly, if you have ever been an employee anywhere) know that crazy things can happen in the workplace and that sometimes means you need an adult beverage to get you through. Well, we've got you covered! In Whine with HR, we start with the W-I-N-E of the week, where Trish and I test out new wines and share our thoughts. And then we move on to the W-H-I-N-E of the week, where we talk about a pressing HR topic. We change the topic each meet-up, so you never get bored (and Lord knows, there is ALWAYS something new to talk about). We back up our information with stats and research and we always offer best practices for the topic at hand. We also throw in a fun AMA episode here and there. Whine with HR used to be a podcast, but we wanted to make it more interactive and give you a chance to chime in and/or ask questions. So, grab your favorite beverage (loaded or unloaded) and join us!
