HR Works Podcast 236: Not the Fun Police! Breaking the HR Myth and Building Relationships

HR Works: The Podcast for Human Resources

Guest: Jenna Everhart, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Health-E Commerce Does it feel like your HR department is carrying a reputation as being the “fun police”? When your responsibilities include enforcing disciplinary actions, establishing employee regulations, and terminating employees, it can often create the impression that HR solely exists to make rules and ruin the workday fun. By no means is this a new struggle and let’s be honest, those well known characters of TV and film are not helping the matter (I’m looking at you, Toby Flenderson!). So how can HR leaders and their teams help change the narrative of their relationship with employees? Jenna Everhart, Health-E Commerce’s SVP of Human Resources, joins this latest episode of the HR Works Podcast and helps us tackle this long-standing challenge facing HR professionals.
