Step Outside Your Comfort Zone – The Need for HR to Lead

w/

James Reid, IV - Partner, Honigman

James stepped out of his comfort zone as a labor and employment attorney to eventually become the State Director of MISHRM.  Using his experience in working with employers and HR practitioners, James saw first hand the need for HR to speak up and lead their organizations in many ways to be proactive and manage the many risks facing employers.

James will share his thoughts on the impact HR can have on the overall success of their organizations, from strategy development to managing tactical activity, from benefits administration to succession planning.

Leading is not optional for HR professionals!
